Hello Woody, Have you already explored the St. Albans Lists for immigrants who entered through Canada? They are on film at NARA and can be rented for a small fee. A couple of good sites for learning about this: http://uscis.gov/graphics/aboutus/history/poelist/CAN2.htm and http://www.webbitt.com/volga/border.htm Good Luck Sandy ----- Original Message ----- From: Woody Minar Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 11:18 AM To: CZECH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CZ] Passenger Lists VERY GOOD QUESTION! I was able to find my mother's (Bozena Janacek) venture from Mandrsjad, Czechoslovakia via Bremen and Southhampton to Ellis Island on the SS George Washington in 1913 by going to the Naitonal Archives in D.C. However, my father's parents (Ludwig Mynarz and Anna Dzik) who came from Horni Terlicko, Czechoslovakia are believed to have come via Nova Scotia then on to Phillips, Wisconsin. But we don't know if the ship came to Ellis Island, Philadelphia, or direct to Nova Scotia. Records are nonexistent in my research.
