Could be either through Canada or a US port. If they came in for the mining most came through a US Port but not all. From what I have seen more came through US ports from Cornwall. My Cornish families (Auger & Amy) came through Canada, but settled in Ontario first and parts of the family came to Michigan later but mainly to areas downstate as they farmed etc. We have not found passenger lists as of yet for the families coming in about 1850. The records for people coming through Canada to the US don't start until the 1895 on period. The government didn't think it important before then to keep track of comings and goings between the countries. After those dates the records are in the St. Albans Border Crossings group of films put out by the NARA. Before that you will probably only find a passenger lists to Canada from the archives there if coming via Canada. I have a site that I have been putting the St. Albans manifests as I get them done at: http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/glpassengers/trans.asp What I am seeing so far in the records is that many of the Finnish, Poles, Russians and Germans, etc. came through Canadian ports and not too many from England. There are some listings of people who's destination was the UP of Michigan BTW. There is a page of links to get you started at some of the sites that offer passenger lists online and also some informational links to border crossings. http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/glpassengers/links.asp Pat Hamp ----- Original Message ----- From: <Picky01@aol.com> To: <MIHOUGHT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 9:10 AM Subject: [MIHOUGHT] re: Passenger Lists > Does anyone know where the Cornish embarked?
