Genealogy
It’s become a very popular, and fascinating, hobby to investigate our family histories. In the course of doing so, many people have come across links with Gayundah (or Paluma) which they’d like to share, and also seeking further information on relatives who did, or may have, served aboard these ships.
While I simply don’t have the time to investigate people’s family histories (and I’m sure no-one expects me to) I am very happy to read, and publish, your stories.
If you know from your research that you have a relative who served (or may have served) aboard these ships, I am very happy to include these details in the hope that some other site visitor may be able to shed some light !
Naturally this information also helps me in my own research on the ship and her crew.
