Hello, re #2 below, if an immigrant was planning to come to Canada, landing in Quebec, not the US would they normally have gone to England first, then on to Canada on an English ship, or were there direct voyages from Bremen to Canada also. Most of what I have seen is passenger lists, ending in US ports. I know this is a long shot, I am trying to find passenger lists which would have indicated Quebec as a landing point, I understand a lot of lists did not survive, prior to 1850 or havent been documented as yet. thank you for any help on this puzzle.
