Please help find lost sailor
« on: Monday 21 October 19 10:21 BST (UK) »
It is said within the family that Morgan Anthony Swidenbank was in South Africa sometime in the period 1900-03.  The only details known; he was first mate in the merchant navy and advertisements were posted in ports worldwide for him to contact home - his father had died.

I would appreciate any details

Regards
