Hi Tina. Thank you for your message, I felt very sad when I read about you losing your Mum and Dad so close together.I have only just learnt I had a brother, we shared the same Father When I was 2 years old I was given up for adoption,Kenneth ran away to sea about a year before I was born.I did contact the National Archives of Norway they were very helpful. They told me none of the ships my Brother served on were lost while he was on board, I was rather confused about this news. the ships he served in were the Liss, Norjerv, Troubadore, Novasli, Gaston Micard and the Germa, rating cabinboy. Gooness knows what happened to your Dad and my Brother to make them leave home at such a tender age,I can imagin in your Dads case running away from a childrens home though. Thanks for saying you would keep an eye out for his name. Warmest wishes, Maureen.
