Hi Derrick,

This appears to be the one . . especially if the postcard was sent right
after arrival at Cleveland.

ETRURIA Liverpool, England 1906-12-01 / Queenstown, Ireland 1906-12-02 New
York, NY 1906-12-10 (CUN) Cunard Steam Ship Co. Ltd., Liverpool,
U.K. Captain T. Potter

You can search this list page by page if you need to, by using one of Steve
Morse's search forms. http://www.stevemorse.org/ choose Ellis Island
Ship Lists: Searching for Ships in the Ellis Island Microfilms in One
Step http://www.stevemorse.org/ellis/boat.html

The quickest way is to just type in Etruria (don't forget the first "r")
and select 1906, twice. There are only nine, so then select the December
arrival. That will take you to the Ellis Island database. If you haven't
visited the Ellis Island website before, you will have to register. There
is no cost.

If you want to experiment with the surname first, then use another one of
Steve's search forms for Ellis Island, the Ellis Island White Form: Generic
form for searching for Passengers in the Ellis Island Database in One

Good luck,

Sue
