Hi Len, This might be of interest to you: The National Archives of Canada holds immigration records from 1865 to 1935. The names of immigrants arriving from overseas are recorded in passenger lists. Those arriving from or via the United States are recorded in border entry lists. A series of old nominal indexes exist for the 1925 to 1935 records. In cooperation with the National Archives of Canada, the Pier 21 Society in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has input the information from the passenger list indexes into this database. Also included are border entries for individuals whose surname starts with the letter C.

It is known that he married there and had a family, however their whereabouts is not known either. He was the son of Thomas McGarva and Mary Jane McDowall married at Glenluce 1897. He was only 16 years of age when he left Scotland, so it is likely that he lied about his age and may also given a false christian name as well, is there someone out there who may be able to track him down. > Len. > > > ==== SCOTS-IN-CANADA Mailing List ==== > Great, great, grandpa, Where are you? > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
