  • Researching seamen in the Merchant Service??

    I have a father and son, both called Alexander Mackenzie of Ullapool, who were both merchant seamen - time span being c1825 - c1881. The son worked out of Macduff in Banff.

    Has anyone any idea where to start researching their stories??
    Kind regards,

    Have you looked in the Wiki?

    I'm pretty certain that there's a TNA guide on the topic - I just can't find the link at the moment.

      Here's the Wiki link:
      Maritime - Family Tree Forum

      I reckon you should find something helpful there.

        Nothing to do with merchant seaman but there is a good website that deals with family history of the area... for Ullapool it will be "Notes on Ullapool " and includes the MacKenzie families of Ullapool
