Updates and priorities, 17 August 2011

The following are new saloon passenger biographies, some of which are stub articles because of few details found so far on their lives:

• Martha Waites (maid to the Burnsides)
• Ella Osbourne
• Albert Perry
• Frederick Perry
• Henry Pollard
• Thomas Rumble
• Julius Strauss
• Charles Sturdy
• William Vassar
• Walter Wright
• James Young
• Georgina Young
• Philippe Yung

The story of Frances Stephens doesn’t end with the sinking of the Lusitania – or the Hesperian.  See how her family became intertwined with that of another Lusitania family, the Coppings.  Click on any of the biographies below:

• Frances Stephens
• John Harrison Chattan Stephens
• George Copping
• Emma Copping

Priorities for the next round of updates is publishing the Mixed Claims Commission. The dockets in the book have all been transcribed and just need to be uploaded. After those dockets are published, another round of biographies will be published in connection with the dockets in the Mixed Claims Commission.
