Words... I don't have the words
I am currently doing my family history, okay there is no current about it, I've been doing it for years and years.
A few days ago I found that one of my family groups were on the titanic, now I need to find out how they fit in with me, they are more than likely cusions of some sort of other, perhaps even my Grandfathers family?... I won't know until I do more research.
The Goodwins are my biological family, and because of the fact that I know little about them they were last on my list of people to research..
So, it is a branch of the Goodwin family who were on the Titanic. Their ship was canceled due to coal shortages and they were put into 3rd class on the Titanic. They all died.
This hurts me, I know that they are biologically close to me because I feel the same way I did when my Dad died, I hurt, I feel physical pain. I don't feel that when I see the name Morris on the list, I feel courious as to how that Morris fits mine, but I don't feel pain.
I also found out the following:-
One of the first bodies recovered by the cable ship Mackay-Bennett was of that of a small fair haired boy. The sailors involved in the expedition were so moved that when no relative came forward to claim the child, they personally escorted the child's coffin to Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax and paid for a large monument in memory of the "unknown child". (His was the only burial service that day - 4 May 1912). In 2002 the body previously identified only as "the unknown child" was positively idenified as Eino Viljami Panula by means of DNA technology, in 2007 the researchers revised their opinion and stated that the body was in fact that of Sidney Goodwin.

Wow... just wow...
As a child I was fansinated by the Titanic, My Dad was as well. I understand why now.
So, I now have to find that link and see...
