how do i make sense of merchant seaman records on FMP?
i've found a stephen morton b.1837 (one) and two b.1838, all london. i suspect he is my man, but i can't understand what the records mean? are they referring to where he was or the ship's name? the records only go up to 1854, how might i trace this man after that?
