    3. Hello all Could someone help me out with some information regarding the Canadian Pacific Railroad. My grandfather William Gallacher worked on the railroad. I don't have a clue when either before WW1 or after, he is on the 1891 census as a 16 year old, and I know that he did serve in WW1, he was from Alexandria/Bonhill, I am wondering if perhaps a few or large number of men from the area would have gone to work in Canada also. Would they not have needed the equivalent of a passport of letter of identification to gain entry into the country? Would anyone have a suggestion as to where to try and find the information I am looking for. Any assistance would be really appreciated. Regards Nancy
