Hi! I'm researching my family from Denmark and was wondering if anyone here can point me in the right direction! In my fathers WWII Servicemans address book i found this address for my Great Uncle Anker who was a merchant marine from Denmark. Anker Pedersen
MTK Bostonian %Pna
Danish Corp. Shipping Operating
N.Y., N.Y.

I was told that Anker was in and out of America alot and I believe I have found him several times at Ellis Island listed as a member of the ships crew for the Scandinavian-American Line;
The United Shipping Co. Copenhagen; Funch, Edye & Co. New York. I would like to know where can I research records of Danish Merchant Marines? Please help! THANKYOU!
