For Your Information --- I just received the following from the Canadian Genealogy Centre and believe many of you may be interested. If not, hit "delete" and carry on. Have a nice day! Clark in Japan ----- Our file number Q1-55148 Dear Mr. Pederson : In reply to your e-mail inquiry of 12 October concerning passenger lists, I wish to advise you that information about our passenger lists and how to access them can be found on our Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy <http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy> under Sources by Topic: Immigration. Lists of microfilm reel numbers are provided. Unfortunately, as the records for the period of interest to you are not indexed by name, we cannot search them for you. Our main Immigration page includes suggestions for other types of records that might assist you in determining the year of arrival. Microfilm reels may be borrowed for your use by any library or institution, within and outside Canada, equipped with a microfilm reader. Requests for loan must be submitted by the borrowing institution and must include the Library and Archives Canada microfilm reel number(s). Borrowing institutions equipped with a reader-printer are authorized to make copies of pages from our microfilm on behalf of their patrons. For your information and your library's convenience, details about our Interlibrary Loan service can be found on the following page on our Web site: http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/index-e.html A database will be available on our Web Site in the next few weeks to search our Passenger lists 1865-1922. Digitized images of the actual records will be available for consultation from your own computer. We encourage you to visit our Web Site regularly for those upgrades. I trust you will find this information helpful. Sincerely, Olivier Karwanyi Canadian Genealogy Centre _Clients Services Division Library and Archives Canada *Please note:* * * For the purpose of improving its services, in February 2006, Library and Archives Canada began major renovations to the second and third floors of the building at 395 Wellington Street in Ottawa.
