EXPIRED - Titanic Passenger Records Available FREE for one week


160°

FOUND BY: ra2000 2 years, 11 months ago

STARTS: 14/04/2007   EXPIRES: 21/04/2007

Heard on radio 4 this morning that the original handwritten passenger lists for the TITANIC are avialable on line free for one week. Thereafter it is a pay-per-view service.
This service is by the National Archives.

Would not normally be too interested but this is the first time the entire listing is available with details of where each passenger was hoping to migrate to, and this can be a fascinating insight especially for those who think their ancestors may have been on board. Remeber it wasn't just the rich and famous on board, but lots of emigrants too.

I am an infrequent poster, so be easy on me if I haven't put this in the right pigeon hole etc, or it has been posted (although I haven't seen it). All the best.

ANYONE INTERESTED CAN VIEW THESE AT: www.ancestorsonboard.com

Might not be what we usually have in the hot deals section, but it sounds very interesting!

My mothers Uncle was on the Titanic as a crew member (he was a french polisher) and so won't be listed .. but incredibly interesting and thought provocing at the same time.

Thanks for that; searched for my surname which is quite unusual and found one matching record on board the Titanic. The initial for the first name was the name of the man we believed to have been on board so it was good to get some sort of confirmation.

Have voted this hot as it's going to eat up your credits on findmypast.com once it goes on to pay per view, especially if you want to see the image and not just the transcript.
The list is not in alphabetical order so you can't guess what page your ancestor's surname might be on. There are different pages for each class of British passenger and the same again for Alien passengers.
While the freebie offer is on, there is no search box which is a little sneaky of them! You can usually search on surname, forename, travelling companions, port of departure etc. etc.
The Southampton list is 27 pages long and the Queenstown one 7 pages (the last pages in each case are only a numerical summary).
My advice is get it all downloaded now while you can. Don't dismiss the 2nd list from Queenstown as British passengers left from there as well as Southhampton.
It was abysmally slow on Saturday about 6pm but it was much better this morning around 12.30pm.
I didn't see a list for employees of the ship on findmypast but there is one on www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/ and as far as I can see, that site is free and has fascinating notes attached to the names. For an example click on the servants of passengers list and click on the first one.
