Jim, Thank you very much, I will look into the mailing lists.

There were many Canada Land Agents in Ireland, handing out multiple page instructions, on how to apply for a land grand in Ontario.  I am not aware of any that could be made while in Ireland.  Many/most of these can be obtained on the internet.  Many can also be obtained on the "The Ships List" Web Site. You may also want to subscribe to the Can/Ont/York , or Can/Ont/Upper Canada Rootsweb Mailing Lists, which would be able to supply most of this info.
