These sites should find all listed FNFL personnel, some though are not listed on these sites.

The Affectation is the official document listing a sailors postings during his service.
Some role/rank descriptions are translated from the source and may not align with the formal
Ranks shown are those attained during the entire war and may not reflect the crewmembers grade whilst serving on the Chasseurs.
Some ships appear to have larger compliments, this is due to more lists being discovered for some vessels e.g. Chasseur 41 which lists 42 FNFL and 4 R.N crew members, this number is spread throughout the war. Hopefully more lists will be discovered as time goes on.
