Newfoundland's Grand Banks Message Board

Hello all , I am looking to connect with relatives of George Thomas Tucker ,my grandfather , born in Brigus 1885 to 1900 . I will now tell you the rumor, that my grandfather's dad was killed in a shipping accident near Newfoundland when he was a child , so checking ship wrecks I came across the collision of the Somerset and the Mary Ann in sept. 1886 in which 2 Tuckers died . Thomas and Charles, all that was said was their names and that they were each married.My grandfather's first wife { unknown name } died , having no children. My grandfather re-married in Nova Scotia and had 8 children. Any information about my grandfather , his parents or relatives in NL. would be greatly appreciated : or info on Thomas and Charles Tucker. Thank you , Hope to hear back soon , Alan
