This database celebrates the 18,000 plus individuals who fought in the Battle of the Trafalgar on the side of the Royal Navy. Trafalgar Ancestors is an ongoing project which over time aims to provide genealogical and service details about these individuals from a range of published sources and documents, but in particular the Admiralty records held by The National Archives. The overall aim is to eventually revise, extend and bring up to date Mackenzie's Trafalgar Roll.
