Researchers who find the lack of passenger lists to Canada before 1865 annoying may be amused by this snippet which refers to immigrants to Upper Canada arriving on Lake Erie steamers. Montreal Gazette, July 15, 1834 The steamer Adelaide was in on Monday and left a few passengers and pursued her course to Sandwich [Windsor]. The Thames also came in on Monday night with a number of passengers. We regret that we are not furnished with lists of the passengers arriving by the steamers - for as many of the passengers arriving have come from New York via Buffalo, they are not enumerated with others in coming to the Province. >From St. Thomas Journal. Because passenger lists at Quebec, the primary port of entry to Canada have not been preserved before 1865, it is now actually easier to find early immigrants to Canada if they travelled through the United States as they may be recorded on New York passenger lists. -- Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------
