RESEARCH


The new MNA Research Team is "up and running" and already in action.   The team consists of Gordon Hartshorne as the Research Co-ordinator with Keith Langridge and Geoff Tadman, both of whom are experienced researchers.

Service reports of Merchant Seafarers can usually be supplied based upon surviving records.   Records before 1918 were mostly destroyed in the late 1960s except for the records of Ship's Masters.   It may be possible to trace Merchant Seafarers between 1914/18 by their medal cards.   Ship voyages and service medal entitlements can be investigated.

The standard fee is £50.00 (£55.00 Overseas enquiry) per research for a private enquiry.   The fee includes a reasonable amount of report photocopying and a short report.   A MNA member is eligible for a £25.00 (50% discount) fee for a simple request and a reasonable amount of report photocopying.   Extra charges will be made for more complicated research and/or excessive photocopying whilst a quotation will be given for commercial enquiries.
