One thought on “Edmonton

  1. My father Harold Ordway may have been a crew on Edmonton in Great Lakes in 1944-1945. Is there a way I can find if he is listed as a crew. He would have been a merchant marine assistant he was only 16-17. I believe he may have put birthdate July 21, 1930>though. Any help is appreciated.
