Hi there, Would anyone know if there were customs reports taken of immigrants travelling via train from the US and entering Ontario back in 1907? I'm just wondering if there's a document somewhere that might show details of my Great Grandparents arrival in Ontario. They came from England through Ellis Island in NYC then travelled on up to Ontario, specifically Barrie. Any ideas? Thanks! Jackie Middleton Toronto

Passengers arriving in Canada who intended to go on to United States were inspected by US Officials at the Canadian Port of Arrival, then enumerated on US immigration lists. Immigrants were also given inspection cards which they turned in to US Officials once they were on board trains going to United States. Two sets of records were created - passenger lists and compiled inspection cards. These CANADIAN BORDER CROSSING records were microfilmed by INS. They cover 1895-1954 and are indexed. They do NOT include Canadians before 1906. After September 30, 1906 both Canadians and non-Canadians are included on these lists. For more information on the St Albans (Canadian Border Crossing) Lists (including film numbers), see http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/stalbanslist.shtml These lists are now online at Ancestry. Steve Morse has added a one Step Search engine for Ancestry's Canada - US Border Crossing Records 1895- 1956.
