Norma, There are border crossing records at the Lib of Michigan. The only problem is that I am not sure they cover the dates that you might need. I believe they are a bit later (1930- forward). Not positive on the dates. I've found the ONLY Canadian in my husbands family in those cards, which have been microfilmed. Sorry don't have the exact name or film number on those. Great resource!

He went first to Quebec, Canada then to Detroit, MI finally by train to Beatrice, Nebraska. My question: Is there a place in Detroit that would have any records of such an arrival from Canada? Thanks for any help. Norma Paul in California
