Thank you very much, Ted. I see I made a mistake in the subject line, the alleged arrival was in 1920, not 1921. But I gave the correct date in the text. Now comes the problem. According to your description, January 1920 seems to be impossible as date for that arrival. You quote: "in March 1919 she surrendered to Britain and was chartered to the US Shipping Board who used her to repatriate troops from Europe. On 14th Feb.1920 she was chartered to "Cunard who used her on their Liverpool - NY service and on 13th May 1921 she was sold to Canadian Pacific who renamed her EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND." Could she have made a trip to New York in January 1920 under her old name? Did she travel from Liverpool to NY as the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria? Can you tell me the various arrivals in NY in 1920 and 1921? I did not find that arrival on Ellis Island, perhaps I'll have to have another look.
