Hi My great grandparents sailed to South Africa in 1910 from England and it took them 6 weeks to get there. George

Thanks George my great aunt was apparently on the lusitania when it was sunk but i can find her there with her maiden name - i just wanted to find out approximately when i would have to start looking for a ship that took her from england to america\canada where she presumably got married hevi
