Hi Rob, I googled for Lithuanian Immigrants and came up with this website. It is more about the history of immigrants in Lanarkshire. May give some clues as to where to look. www(.)bbc(.)co(.)uk/legacies/immig_emig/scotland/strathclyde/article_4(.)shtml. Replace (.) with . . Hope this will help. Anne

No luck there, but did find an article about an adoption which I never knew about

Most of the online websites dealing with passenger lists I have looked at so far mostly deal with passengers to the states. What I'm looking for is either passengers disembarking at Leith or any Uk port. I'm mostly searching for Lithuanian passengers. Thanks
