Is Star Trek is polluting your history?
I was searching for my half-sister's great-grandfather on ancestry.com. I found him on a passenger list of the USS Franconia leaving Liverpool for Boston during June 1911. Wanting a description of the ship, I Googled for the USS Franconia. It was difficult to sift through the references for United Star Ship Franconia of the 24th century. Fortunately, this is easy to fix. Just add the words "ocean liner" to the search. (It turns out there is almost nothing online about the 1911 ship). — Webmaster
