If you believe in reincarnation maybe you were on the Titanic in another life. I have that feeling too everytime I go into a stationary store. Like maybe I was a scribe in a former life.



The site below has a passenger list and crew list.

There's tons of info about the Titanic on the internet. You can google passenger lists and all sorts of things. You can probably even find groups of Titanic relatives, Titanic researchers, Titanic hobbyists. I'd say just plunge in and learn everything you can and see if you make any connections. You may want to start from the other end and collect all the surnames in your family, grandparents, great grandparents and then see if you can match any of them to the passenger lists. There's lot of genealogy websites that can help you.

It is quite possible a family member of yours was aboard, my own great grandmother just about boarded when she was twelve, in attempt to escape an upstanding English life [rather cheesy, much like Rose in the movie version of Titanic]



There is an exhibit touring of the Titanic, it was in my city at the Royal Museum, it was excellent. You get a ticket at the beginning with the name and information of a real person who was aboard, and at the end of the tour there is a huge wall with names of the survivors, the people who died and the ones that were never accounted for. My person lived.



Here's the list of passengers:

And the crew:

Perhaps someone from your family was on the Titanic, good luck searching.



Cheers!

There's a book, titled "Amanda/Miranda," which is a novel about the Titanic. This is what I found about an abridged version of the longer original:



Paperback | 114 x 181mm | 176 pages | ISBN 9780141312170 | 30 Jun 2001 | Puffin | 12 - 16 years



"Your future lies beyond a mountain of ice, where you will die, and live again." The wisewoman's prophecy disturbs Miranda, a maidservant who bears an uncanny resemblance to her rich and arrogant mistress, Amanda Whitwell. Thrust into a tangled web of lies by Amanda, Miranda watches helplessly as one fateful night, a prophecy once foretold becomes reality...aboard the Titanic. Richard Peck's newly abridged edition of his popular adult novel is an enthralling adventure that will capture the reader's imagination.
