I found the explanation of how to trace a Land Order number, on the website of the QSA..just after I hit the send button....(Thanks Janet..I'll get back to you on another matter shortly...Happy New Year) Since I know the name of the owner of the Land Order, and the number..and .it appears that "in Some cases" the name of the ship and date of arrival may also be included on the record...I may get lucky... I will write to the QSA to see if they can clarify this for me.. Happy New Year..
