This Portable Genealogist focuses on maritime ancestry before the age of steam, when sail-powered vessels and labor-intensive seamanship defined life at sea. Designed as a starting compass for those new to maritime research, it outlines the key elements that help orient your search. It also offers a framework for organizing research, making it easier to navigate the vast scope of maritime history and focus effort more effectively.
