You might want to check with the National Archives to see if they have any information on the payments. They might have a list of individuals that came off these ships since they had to record any expenditure of funds. An e-mail to Mary Munk at the National Archives might help. [email protected] However, they are about 2 months behind in replying so don't be surprised if you don't get an immediate e-mail. They do reply though and they are quite thorough. I have had some good success. See what is at their site as well: http://www.archives.ca For a newspaper, try to find microfilms of the Pilot as it was around at the time. The Gazette was also around but I don't know whether it would have anything. It would be the easiest paper to find microfilms of as it is still operational and remains as the only Montreal English language daily newspaper. Where are you located relative to large Canadian libraries? I hope that is of some help.
