Hello again Dawna, I'm not an expert on the Irish immigration, but I thought that these immigrants to St. Lawrence County had landed in Montreal (or Grosse Ile, where there is now an Irish memorial, down river from Waddington between Montreal and Quebec City) and then moved up river to St. Lawrence County. There should be a group in Canton that specialises in the Irish Immigration. Mary

Grosse Ile is located down river or east from Quebec City and all ships inbound to ports on the St Lawrence had to call here first for health clearance from early 1800's to 1937. Those ships with ill passengers had to disembark and stay here until quarantine period was over before moving on. For reference look on south shore of St Lawrence river between Quebec City and Rimouski and look for Montmagny to the east and Berthier Sur Mer across from Isle D'Orlean in the west. Grose Isle is the second island to the east of Isle D'Orlean on north side of river on the main shipping channel. Lat and Long 47 degrees 01 minutes and 42 seconds N and 70 degrees 40 minutes and 15 seconds W. One of the ferry services to the island in the summer is located in Berthier Sur Mer. Maybe more than you needed to know but for those interested here is where to find it. regards Garth At 10:47 AM 9/9/2008, you wrote: >Hello again Dawna, > >I'm not an expert on the Irish immigration, but I thought that these >immigrants to St. Lawrence County had landed in Montreal (or Grosse Ile, >where there is now an Irish memorial, down river from Waddington between >Montreal and Quebec City) and then moved up river to St. Lawrence County. > >There should be a group in Canton that specialises in the Irish Immigration. > >Mary > > When you want to respond to a query or comment posted on this > List, I find it MUCH easier to post a new message -- remembering > to include the SUBJECT from the post you are responding to > !!
