Hello, There is what is known as the St. Albains list. This is a card system that contains all of the information of border crossings from all the points of entry from Canada. It generally contains the name of the individual, where they were born, when they arrived in Canada, the name of the ship and the port, who if anyone they were traveling with, their destination in the U.S. One thing to keep in mind with list as with all documents is there are numerous spelling errors. Microfilms of the list are available at your nearest Family History Center.

Does anyone have information on the procedure of immigration for our German/Volga ancestors who came to the United States by way of Ports in Canada? I understand the " Manifest of Passengers for the US Immigration Officer at Port of Arrival" was prepared by the Shipping Line...Was that at the time of departure or at the point of arrival? Were the border crossing manifests then issued at the time of arrival in the Canadian Ports, to allow the immigrants into the U.S.? Is there a book or any printed material available on this subject to help us understand how this all worked? I would appreciate any help or insight on this subject. Thank you, braines@comcast.net

I will tell you what I have found and there are other members with different experiences so you should get some good answers. 1. The Canadian Government was kind enough to send the microfilms of all the passenger lists for landings of the ships in Quebec. They sent them at the request of my local library. There was a small fee like $7 for the postage. There was no time limit on how long I could keep them. They had fascinating information on them. There is a web page that helps you find the microfilm numbers. (So many years ago... maybe I can find it again.) 2. I learned that if a passenger was ill on the ship then that passenger and usually other family members were put off the ship at an island with medical facilities. At the same stop to disembark sick passengers they would take on the passengers left there by other ships who were now able to enter Canada. These passengers are sometimes clearly marked with explanations - sometimes not. Therefore - an ancestor who oral history says arrived on 'such and such' a ship - well maybe that was the ship he left Europe on - or maybe the ship he finally reached Quebec on. Enlarges the possibilities for searchers. 3. Some passengers where booked right through from Europe to the US by way of Quebec then onto a train. There are sometimes comments on the Ship's Passenger list about these persons and the time the ship docked, the time the train left, what train. There was a Canadian doctor on hand to check on the health of all the passengers who were staying in Canada AND a US Doctor to check those going right on through. The doctor's names and how many passengers they examined are included. Also included is the time the doctor started his exams on a ship-load and what time he finished. The average exam was 15-20 seconds sometimes! 4. If a passenger was booked right on through Quebec to the train the border crossing manifest seemed to have been made out right them. I could be mistaken. It could have been made out while they were on the train or when the train first stopped in the US. 5. Many passengers stayed in Canada for months or even years. My family arrived in Quebec in 1913 and left Canada by train in 1915. The Border Crossing Card is excellent for finding the address at which they last resided in Canada before embarking for the US. Look, I'll send this now and then if I find more in my notes or on the Web I'll send it to you and the list also. Jayne W.
