Good morning.. would you be so kind as to enlighten me on the following. If the Miller family came to Canada in 1849, or 1848, from Ireland.. what route would they have taken to get to Ont? are there records that I should be looking for. I have searched the ship sites,but am dumber than when I started.. am most confused as to were I should be looking. Would there be something on a microfilm..Without sounding long winded, just HELP. Thank you one and all. Have a great day Mary

Dear Mary They could have entered up the St. Lawrence from a port such as Halifax or Quebec City or they could have come north from the USA. I am told that the only practical source for finding out such things in Canada are newspaper reports of passengers arriving at Halifax, St. Johns or Quebec City. I have never thought it worth the effort to find this out for my ancestors. There is also the ingeneas site with the NAC database and all those volumes of Filby's which include published passenger lists for Canada as well as the US.
