Hi All,

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,352547.msg2305607.html#msg2305607

It may be worthwhile reading the responses to AKKA's   other postings to which she/he has not responded as yet.

It shows a good deal of family information and may save some doubling up.

The question of the ship's name still remains ;D
