    What is happening to all the biographies

    I have noticed that several passenger/crew biographies have been taken down from their respective pages and replaced with "all the information we have on this person is listed in the summary." I've seen this message before, but now I'm seeing it on pages where there used to be bio's. What gives?

    Any coming articles or biographies

    I have read with interest all the articles and posts on this site. It is fantastic to have so many people who have done a great deal of research "connect" in one place. Sadly, I discovered Encyclopdia Titanica too late to take part in many of the discussions and to read Jemma Hyder and Inger...
