    1. [CAN-ONT-CARLETON] emigration

    3. There are no formal records of emigration from Canada to the United States in the 1800s - but... To start with, there was no formal immigration requirements between the two countries until 1904. So, if you were looking for someone who emigrated from one of the countries to the other, the only record would be their naturalization if they became a citizen. There is one other source - local newspapers. They sometimes kept columns on the comings and goings of people in the community, and sometimes small town newspapers have been indexed by someone in a way that includes these articles and not just vitals. If you can get to them, they are an interesting read anyway to see life in the time period of you ancestors, and are often small papers and not too much to read. I've seen some of these in the Kemptvill Advance and another old Kemptville paper, covering some of rural Carelton County.
