Dear people
Where can I find mönstringsböger ?
I am looking after some Rasmussen who was a member of the crew on the dampskip "Acturus" in 1860.
Acturus was sailing between Denmark and Iceland from 1858 up to 1866 when it became a a part of Det forende dampskipselskap (DFDS), it was in the service of DFDS until 1887, when it crashed into another ship and sank.

Hi Tomas, I think you misspelled the name of the ship. Is this the right ship?
http://www.jmarcussen.dk/maritim/skibsliste/side.php?id=6639
I believe the word in Danish is "mønstringsrulle" (plural: ruller)
You should email Jørgen Marcussen who runs the excellent website. He might very well be able to answer your questions. His knowledge of all things maritime is extensive.

I got these information through facebook chat, so it isn't unlikely that it was misspelled in the first place ;D
But yes that is the ship, and I will e-mail Jörgen
mange tak igen
