I am searching for any info on my grandfather who told us he was born in Oslo (Kristiana ) about 1890 and came to Australia about 1911 with White Star Lines and jumped ship (Deserter) so I am not sure if this is his real name ,I have dna results if anyone wants to see if we match . Grandfathers name Edvard De Leiuen, mother Florence Pearson ,sister Kristina. Does White Star Lines have any crew listings? The story seems to correlate with shipping times and routes I just cant find any records of De Leiuen, Any info much appreciated
