	This is the opposite....when we met up with a long lost family, they said that they didn't quite believe Aunts story saying her grandfather was a captain, they'd only found him listed as a sailor. We actually had his daughter's marriage certificate listing him as a boat captain. There's sometimes a grain of truth in it.

	Picked up one on TTF, G G G Grandad was a "famous" chocolate manufacturer. The lady deleted the thread without an acknowledgement when I found he was a former miner working in a shop!
