Hello May, The Donaldson Line ship LETITIA had 8 trips from Glasgow to Canada in 1912 ;-} If you don't have an arrival date in mind, it might require reading a bit of microfilm, as those records aren't indexed yet. T-4784 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-05-04 Quebec, Que. 1912-05-13 T-4785 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-05-04 Quebec, Que. 1912-05-13 [could be a duplicate . . . or maybe a continuaton of the list] T-4787 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-06-01 Quebec, Que. 1912-06-09 T-4788 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-06-29 Quebec, Que. 1912-07-07 T-4789 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-07-27 Quebec, Que. 1912-08-04 T-4790 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-08-24 Quebec, Que. 1912-08-31 T-4792 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-09-21 Quebec, Que. 1912-09-29 T-4793 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-10-19 Quebec, Que. 1912-10-29 T-4827 LETITIA Glasgow, Scotland 1912-12-21 St. John, N.B. 1912-12-31 Captain William McNeill The passenger manifest is on Microfilm at the Library & Archives of Canada [LAC], in Ottawa. The Ships are placed on the reel, in order of arrival. You can borrow this reel on an Inter Library Loan [ILL]. You can find the details for this procedure at this LAC Genealogy Research URL http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/index-e.html You are also able to ILL free of charge, from Ottawa, to libraries in the US, and outside North America. These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are not indexed. The LAC will allow your Library to borrow up to six microfilms on your behalf, per request. The LDS now have copies of the post-1900 Canadian arrivals, so check here for links and details http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#lds I see you have a Canadian email address. Here find a list of institutions in Canada who also have copies of this microfilm. You may have one close by. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-903-e.html Good Luck, Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

Hi Sue - You've given me all the information I'll need to start ordering microfilm from ILL. I was surprised to see the ship sailed so many times in one year. This looks more like a winter project as I'm sure I wouldn't be lucky enough to find what I'm looking for on the first film as all I have to go on was 'they arrived in Canada around 1912' - not verified. Thank you for giving me the lead to get started, it's very much appreciated. May
