    3. Hello again Jean, Just to help your search, the spelling for that ship was LUSITANIA and there was more than one vessel of that name.... http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/descriptions/ShipsL.html ... although the earlier one wrecked in June 1901. Likely you will want the Cunard Line vessel of that name. I checked on "FindMyPast" for that period and ship name, but didn't find him between 1901-1910. He would have left from Londonderry, but might have ferried to Liverpool. (findmypast website has since gone "down") The Cunard Line LUSITANIA was sailing from Liverpool via Queenstown (Cobh) to New York during that period, so you should check Ellis Island website. As I hadn't found him departing from Liverpool 1901-1910 on findmypast, is there a chance that he left earlier, from Londonderry to Quebec, or later, into New York? Have you found him in the 1911 Canada census? That census does indicate the immigration year, although that date is often misremembered, but it would narrow the search to one or two years. Consider too, oral history might have the wrong ship name. For instance, there was Cunard Line LUCANIA sailing from Liverpool to New York until 1909 ;-{ Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/ At 09:01 AM 2008-12-11 -0500, Jean Campbell wrote: >searching for the arrival of Samuel Steele born Ballymena, North Ireland, >Dec 25, 1889, and came to Canada between 1901 and 1910 on the ship the >Lucitania.
