Looking for info on Cunard Line steamship Usonia. I believe my
grandfather came to U.S. from Wales and landed in Boston 1921 or 1922.
Name was Eli R. Linham.

Steve --

I had the opportunity today to check the microfilm archives for the
portion of Boston at the National Archives:
NARA Facilties
http://www.archives.gov/facilities/index.html

The indices and immigration cards for Boston are available on
microfilm for these dates:
1848-1891
Jan. 1, 1902 -- June 30, 1906

I'm not aware of other immigration lists for Boston that have been
accumulated.

Best regards,

I didn't find anything on your grandfather given the limited
information you provided, but it should be noted that the Ellis Island
database (yes, I know it's not Boston but it was worth a shot)
http://www.ellisisland.org/ lists these arrivals:

1. Cathrine Linham    Treconby, Wales    1923  38     
2. Irene Maude Linham    Treconby, Wales    1923  10     
3. John Linham        1894  36     
4. Lillian Linham        1894  40     
5. Redvers Linham        1920  18     
6. Stanley V. Linham    Treconby, Wales    1923  4

You might focus search on these people and discover much more than you
anticipated.

Thanks for the info on Boston. I'll follow up on that.

With regard to Ellis Island, Catherine was my grandmother, Irene is my
aunt and Stanley was my father. they came over a year after my
grandfather Eli and aunt Edna Mae who came in through Boston together.

My Aunt Irene gave me the Cunard Line and ship name of Usonia. Can't
locate any info on that ship.

Steve

thanks for all your help.

I'll take it from here.

regards,

Steve
