Hi Debbie!

Thanks for the quick info! :) Since Kathleen said she thought the ship she
was looking for was wrecked 'about 1915' (which is when the Lusitianian went
down) and the Leinster going down in 1918; she will probably have to get
ahold of the passenger lists to determine which is the correct ship, her gr
aunt was on.

Do you have any idea's where she could locate the passenger lists for these
two ships?

Thanks for your help on this.
Sharon
