Jim, The Canadian crossings are indexed by soundex. They were very easy to search. I would imagine they would be at the NYC National Archives site on Varick Street. I haven't been to that site in a few years so I don't know if it has been renovated like the DC site. There were drawers that contained the microfilms and easily identified. In DC, they were located with the passenger ship lists. My great uncle came through the Niagara Falls crossing in 1910. I believe it was the St. Albans grouping. It is indexed (soundex) from 1895-1952 Sorry I can't do better than that. I didn't copy down the title since I was focused on the time frame. I just checked my copy and there is a man listed below my uncle who crossed by Halifax, NS in 1919. Hope I haven't confused anyone.

They settled in the Carmel - Brewster area of Putnam County, New York. Where did you start at the National Archives? Regards, Jim B. (James Dineen Burden)
