US Completed Requests / Re: New York passenger list 1820 - 1957

Could someone please look up Harold George Edman (Eidman) on this passenger list please? He has come up on Ancestry as being on the passenger lists - I know he was an engineer in Merchant Navy and would like to know how, why etc he is on passenger list! Many thanks!

Pembrokeshire / Re: Oriel - Crunwere
« on: Wednesday 12 October 11 10:27 BST (UK) »
Thanks Crunwere, have already been in touch with Orielbenfro, have his book and found connection to the Oriels! One of mine was in service in the Carmarthen area before moving to South Wales - my greatgrandmother was an Oriel, and we always wondered about the name! Now I know! By the way, she had a brother called Ariel Oriel! what a tonguetwister!

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Ancestry "Hints" problem

Yes, must admit I started out tracking my husband's family, thinking I knew all about my side, but ended up tracking mine and various branches of it as well, so tree grew and grew! But it is annoying when someone suddenly "pinches" a bit of research its taken me a while to do, thenn won't acknowledge you when you contact them (even if its only to say thanks but no thanks). I know what you are saying about "looking down noses" - I started my research without Ancestry, visiting the old records office in London on a couple of occasions, and tramping around cemeteries (to no avail!). Ancestry is really useful, especially now more records are on line, so don't decry it! Just wish those who copy my records would be a little grateful!!

I have found that very, very distant relatives collect data off my tree, then when I ask where the connection is, they refuse to answer! If I cannot prove the connection or see a relevance in it, I don't add it - why do I need all these "hints" if they are not of any use? Like you say, perhaps some people just like to increase the size of their tree!

That was a good programme, but as I said, missed last 5 minutes, so wondered what F&F concluded about him!

What was the conclusion with the Tim Rose story this morning anyone? We lost transmission for the last 5 minutes so wondered if anyone could let us know!

Sorry, that link didn't work for me, is it a web site? I do have a library card for Vale of Glamorgan, what is the connection?

Thank you, yes, I have the 1911 census and its details. Its more background I'm looking for - what they were involved in at Cardiff and Penarth Docks etc.
