Armed Forces / US navy enlistment
« on: Saturday 11 September 21 10:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi all !
Can someone help me to understand the following document. I found my gg-father's name on this document but I don't understand its meaning. Does It means that my gg-father enlisted in the US navy ? How is it possible as far as he was a British citizen ?
Thanks for your help.

World War One / mercantile marine medal
« on: Friday 17 November 17 13:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,
this message is linked to the topic I posted on Glamorganshire Board concerning my gg-grandfather Charles Wilfred Parris (or Paris).
He received during WW1 a mercantile marine Medal (see atttachement) and I would like to retrace his history during this war but I find it difficult because I'm French and not very familiar with the English history during this period and, as I live in France, I cannot go the TNA.
Could someone help me to understand why he had this medal and maybe help me to know him better.
I thank you all in advance.
Corinne

Glamorganshire / looking for crew list
« on: Monday 15 May 17 14:01 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
my name is Corinne and I'm looking for one of my ancestor (like everyone here I suppose  :-\).
I know he was steward on a vessel : barque Longfellow, during a journey from Bordeaux (France) to cardiff on november, 1887. Does someone knows how to obtain the crew agreement of this vessel during this journey ?
As you can read, I'm French and this is my first research out of France.
I'm really sorry if I "knock at the wrong door" as we say in France.
Thank you for your answers.
Corinne
