Thank you for replying Bill and certainly for providing a good deal of information about this.
I think that as long as an individual case for doing so is a strong one, then by all means try and put a name to them.
Have you had any success at contacting people from non-English speaking countries about identifying their Great-Great Grandfather for example ?
The figures I have before me* claim that amongst others there were 104 Swedish, 79 Lebanese, 55 Finns, 33 Bulgarians, 22 Belgians and a lesser amount from Croatia, Denmark, Armenia, Switzerland and Portugal aboard RMS Titanic when she sank. Most of them perished. Have you found avenues to get your project featured in the media of those countries and find potential blood relations of unidentified victims who now lie in Halifax ?
