Hello, I understand you posted this message many years ago but I am studying Drama at Liverpool John Moore's university and we are currently researching into the Cunard family and the Cunard building in Liverpool as we are devising a performance on the building which will be shown in late April to the public. I am very interested in people that visited the building or worked there and would like to share their stories or knowledge of the building as it would be a great help and incredibly interesting.

Look forward to hearing back - or feel free to E-mail me.

Thank you

Great work on researching Cunard everyone! I am a Cunard and trying to (finally) pull together my family ancestory. I've reviewed lots of old documents and files that have led me back to the mid-1800's in Nova Scotia. Any help you could provide to get me past this would be helpful. I've gotten as far as:

George E. Cunard
He is my 2nd great grandfather
Birth: 1830 in New Brunswick, Canada
Death: Sept 1870 in New Brunswick, Canada

Married to:
Susan P. Taylor
Birth 14 Jun 1837in New Brunswick, Canada

I am thinking his George's father might be:

Edward Cunard
Birth 1798 in Halifax, N.S.
Death Sept 11, 1851 in Halifax

But not totally sure yet. Ideas?
Thanks,
Derek Cunard

Cunard-Conard, etc. DNA Project

genealem — 2007-04-15 02:43:42Z

I have started a DNA Project for the Cunard-Conard (and various spellings)lines....especially those from Thones (Tuenes) Kunders of Germantown PA. Descendants on this line started the Cunard Cruise line (Samuel Cunard) and Charles Conrad, the astronaut is also an descendant.

You can view this project's goals at:

www.familytreedna.com/public/Cunard-Conrad

This covers any spelling. A few of the variations are on the site.

If you have questions or are curious, you may email me directly at: aulicino@hevanet.com

I think you have a grandmother's tale, but if you can
send me some names, dates, places, perhaps I can
help you. I have over 40 years study on the family,
who descends from Thones Kunders of Germantown,
PA. The family sold the lines over a hundred years ago.

Re: cunard

SERaich1 — 2006-09-19 02:03:42Z

I am descended from the Cunard shipping family, I believe; oral history is that my GGG? M married a Mahnken, beneath her social status, and was disowned. I believe the husband was Claus and he was a widower by age 60.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

I am curious about the Rev. William SWEET that you have in your message. Do you know anything further about him, or where he was from, etc.? My great-grandfather's brother was named William Sweet; he was a Methodist minister supposedly in Quebec. I don't anything more about him other than his name.
Thank you.

Without a time frame or a place, it is hard to sort through my
35,000 based Conard, Cunard etc names. However, I do not
have a Wentink or Post in my indices with the Cunards.
Unless I have further info I cannot be of much help. Sorry.

Re: CUNARDS OF EVERETT, PENNSYLVANIA

ddavi53557 — 2004-05-09 17:00:19Z

Penn. Cunards...Look to the Cunnard family history...of Philly.
This History goes all the way back to William Penn in the 1600's when 13 Menonite families came to settle in Penn. aboard the Concord...a 49 day journey....
One of the men was Thones Dennis Kunders Born in 1655 in Prussia, Married May 31, 1677 in Germany and died in September 1729 in Germantown, Phil., Penn.... From the Lower Rhine vally near Holland. The name has changed from Kunders to Cunreds, to Cunnard, to Cunard, To Conrad.
You will find your people here listed among the Conrad Family Records..... Enjoy!!!

I am doing research that my Aunt started for the DAR. She mentions a Samuel Cunard a descendent of Thones Kunders that established the first line of ocean steamers which are the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth Lines.
She shows that Samuel married Hannah Kinderdine and his father was Cornelus Conard and his mother was Priscilla Bolton.
Is this the same Samuel Cunard that was related to you?

My e-mail is barrich@qconline.com

Thank you very much for any information.

Several years ago I purchased at auction a desert/tea set of china. It is marked on the back, below a crown: "The Cunard Steamship Company". Then, written in plain copy are the words: "Grosvenor China Stoniers Liverpool". I am interested in selling it at this time. I have a photograph, but I don't think it can attach here. Please let me know if you want to see the photo and I will email it. I would appreciate anyone there who can tell me more about it. --- Glenda

Re: CUNARD surname

PFrazier6698 — 2002-09-30 14:58:50Z

Hi Erik,
Your the first post I've seen on the Cunard's in shipping.
I'm Not really as interested in the Cunards as I am the the Ross or that might have been in business with them. My ggrandmother alway said that one of her grandfathers had been in business with the Cunard that built or owned the QE.
But beyond the names Sir Robert Ross or James Ross or James Sands I am at a stand still.
Most of the Rosses and Sands came to the US in the 1850's but a few remained in the UK.
As far as I know there is no family relation, but any long shot is good.
