Congrats to the god-daughter, DORAN54
On this day, 1st Jan 1875, OH's great-great-grandfather, Michael Begg Sea Captain, died in N County Dublin aged 74.
We don't know much about his voyages, but the family owned/part-owned ships, and his sons sailed around the Med, and to the West Indies and S America.
I stayed up till all hours on Saturday with Ancestry's freebie, downloading Masters' Certs etc.
Now to make sense of it!
