Well, blow me, my family has been telling me fibs. There is no way my great-grandfather could have been on a Shackelton ship as their first sibling was born in 1890 and my great grandfather was born in 1850, which means he probably arrived in NZ in 1880 plus or minus 5 or ten years... Now, who told me that story about Shackelton?? Is it too early to wake the dead? I want answers!! The German woman bit though is true. I've traced her line back to a small village in North Germany.

I saw a really good exhibition on Shackleton last time I was at The National Museum at Collins Barracks, Dublin There was a ship on display in the courtyard but I don't recall if it was related or not.

Until you have lost almost everything —- your ability to support yourself, the respect of your children, most of your worldly goods —- it's impossible to understand. I am an empty shell. Hmmmm.... like suitcases..... waiting to go somewhere!
