Post by: Bloodhound on Sunday 03 October 04 23:03 BST (UK)

I am looking to contact anybody who might have an extensive archive of the LUSITANIA especially the crew. Thanks.

One good place to look would be the ellis island website

  www.ellisisland.org

  I found a relative on this site who had travelled to the US on the Lusitania.

You will most likely want to file this under "useless information"!

My mother-in-law always used to say that a cousin of hers was Chief Stoker on the Lusitania.   IF this was true his name was probably Taylor.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for that - I will make a note for when I get around to the Taylor side of the family.

:)May I once more thank all who have answered my post,I have noted the addresses offered & will go into them soonest.Sadly although I know my G,Fathers name [LEMBERG] & that he was 1 of 14 siblings born in DELFT in Holland,this appears to be the end of the line despite numerous posts on Dutch sites with no results,+ our dear PRO seems to have destroyed the seamans records for the LUSITANIA so no photograph there.
Anyway once more for you help.

The registers include both UK and foreign subjects, passengers and seamen. There is only one register for marriages.
The registers contain some entries related to the deaths of seamen ashore.
The death registers include entries for the SS Titanic and Lusitania.
