There is a wonderful set of microfilmed records at your local LDS FHC called the St. Albans VT emigration/immigration records. They are something of a misnomer and I believe many researchers don't investigate them. While the records were stored in Vermont they pertain to individuals ("aliens") crossings back and forth across the border at ANY point along the ENTIRE border. (For example, my father crossed at Blaine, WA), his mother at some point in Michigan, his sister, at some point in NY. These unique records are soundexed, so that all travellers with the same surname (or similiar) for the entire time period between 1895 and circa 1924 appear on one, at the most two microfilms. To my amazement, I found that some of my families crossed the border back and forth several times during that time period, and I even found an entry from 1925 although the soundex film states it ends at 1924. The records are particularly valuable in that they include personal descriptions (color of hair, eyes, weight, height, scars), their own address plus names and addresses of family in the "old" country and the same at the intended destination! They name traveling companions. They even give the name of any ship or train, date and port involved in travel. This can lead to a second film with an actual ship's manifest! It did for me! I discovered that two of dad's little brothers crossed the Atlantic to the USA alone at ages 16 & 11 just three months before the "Titanic" sank! Later, some of my relatives who traveled from Liverpool, England took a steamer to Quebec City, got off and took a train immediately across Canada entering at some point along the border. It was a comparatively cheaper "package deal" offered by the Canadian Pacific Railway (who owned both ships and trains) circa 1924. In the case of my relatives, they crossed back and forth across the border several times during that time period - my father, as part of his work, on his honeymoon, and his mother and siblings on their way back to England to visit relatives. Each border-crossing by an "alien" generated a new card of information which was subsequently microfilmed, front and back. These films are also found in branches of the National Archives (USA), likely also in Canada. The film set is M1461. The LDS have their own film numbers but you can call it up on their FHC Catalogue CD by inserting this number, jot it down and take it in with you as some of the volunteers aren't even aware of this wonderful resource - (1472801), that will bring up all the information you need, and it is best to know the Soundex Code for your surname you are interested in, as that is what the films are arranged by; Soundex codes can be found in a Soundex book in your genealogy library, on the Internet, and there is a book at your local LDS FHC where you can compute your surname code. Soundex codes contain the beginning letter of the name and three digits. Anyway, I took a chance and checked out the microfilms even though I did not suspect that my family had any connection to Canada. I discovered from one record that my paternal aunt who I knew all my life as "Pat" wasn't Patricia at all, her name was Winifred Rosina FORD, and her nickname was evidently for her Irish grandfather, Patrick. She was travelling with my father, who I was able to confirm this was the correct person. Imagine my delight and the goosebumps I got when I found my own father's record. He had always told me that he had sustained an injury during his Atlantic crossing from Liverpool, that was why he had an old scar in his eyebrow. When I found his record on the St. Albans film it stated that he had a "fresh cut under his left eyebrow." I encourage you to check out these records. My ordering two FORD microfims cost me a "rental fee" at the LDS (Mormon) FHC of less than eight dollars. What a small investment to discover new information! The family history centers are open to the public and staffed by helpful volunteers. They will help you determine which microfilm you need, order it for you to view (takes only 7-10 days and you get to view it at your local FHC for about six weeks), help you get the film in and out of the microfilm viewer and will make inexpensive copies of the material right from the film so that you don't have to jot everything down!
