Unseemly Disturbance on the SS Germanic

AN unseemly disturbance on the Germanic, White Star Line, on a recent trip, and incident to the customary entertainment for nautical charities, was due to the officiousness of some American passengers who sought to arrange an opposition festivity in aid of the Fresh Air Fund. Happily there were those on board who calmed the raging social sea.

The Folks Behind the GG Archives

The GG Archives is the work and passion of two people, Paul Gjenvick, a professional archivist, and Evelyne Gjenvick, a curator. Paul earned a Masters of Archival Studies - a terminal degree from Clayton State University in Georgia, where he studied under renowned archivist Richard Pearce-Moses. Our research into the RMS Laconia and SS Bergensfjord, the ships that brought two members of the Gjønvik family from Norway to the United States in the early 20th century, has helped us design our site for other genealogists. The extent of original materials at the GG Archives can be very beneficial when researching your family's migration from Europe.
