Re: Response to ancestry question from yesterday's post (asked this morning)

(Anonymous) 2014-06-11 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
My only experience is from looking for Australian records, so I'm not really sure what records it has for the US and how comprehensive they are.However, if it only had genealogical info you could still use that genealogical information (ie names of male relatives of age around that time) to, say, search through naval records on archive.gov.

I'd say do as much research as you can on your own though. Like, your father might not know who belonged to the clock, but he might know it came from his father's side of the family, which would narrow things down a bit. Talk to your relatives who might know if you can, you'd be surprised how much people remember when prompted about their family. Basically, form as good a family tree (and likely suspects) as you can on your own, and then maybe try a trial of ancestry.com and see what other information and records they have.
