Hi, i'm wondering if anyone has any information or helpful tips of how to trace family in Ghana.
My Grandad, Peter Codjoe Ewusi Amponsah left Takoradi in 1951 via Boat. i have found the manifest for the ship
Vessel: S.S Laurentian Valley Ariving at NY 8/3/1951 from the port of Dakar, 8/3/51
Next to my grandads name it says he was on there for 8 Months as a catering boy. Arrived on the vessel on 17/5/1951 from Takoradi, it says he was 18 but we know that he had lied about his age as was we believe around 15
So his date of birth of some of his other records are incorrect and his dob is more likely to be: 10 June 1935 (give or take a year or two)
He was also part of the Ashanti
On his marriage certificate here in Manchester,UK he had put his dad (George Amponsah) as a dispenser for a hospital so im wondering maybe i may be able to find some records this way?
Any information or tips would be very much appreciated
Thank you,
Nicole
