I don't often post in this area..but for this I'll make an exception...

Why is this important to me?

One of the crewman aboard the Grunion that day shares my family surname and is from the same county and district* as I am ....though I can't make a direct connection. :hmm: I'm fairly certain though we are cousins to some degree. His middle name, with it's odd spelling, is exactly the same as my grandfather's Christian name.

*(there is a mountain, a creek, a road, a school and a cemetery there that carries our shared surname)
