According to my family records my fourth great grandfather was Captain Mathiesen of the Bark Zephyr. I am looking for additional information about him and his family.

That would be John Mathiesen, but to connect names of ship captains to personal biographical data in this period is not always straightforward. Do you also know the name of your third great grandfather or grandmother who was his child?

Specifically, I wonder if you recognize any names connected to the Geni profile of this possible candidate.
