_____ From: Jan Griffiths [mailto:jan@snowonder.ca] Sent: May 31, 2006 2:40 PM To: 'TheShipsList-L@rootsweb.com' Subject: Griffiths Family - England - 1912 Hi. I'm looking for information about my paternal grandparents' arrival in Montreal Canada, approx. 1912 to 1915. John Arthur Griffiths was born on January 7, 1887 in London, England. Janet Rebeca Dott was born on May 21, 1884 in London, England. They married on September 27, 1912 and came to Canada sometime after that. I'd like to find out the name of the ship, date of sail, and date and port of arrival. Any clues?

Unfortunately the records before 1925 are not indexed. To find a passenger you will need to know an exact date of arrival. There is no easy way to search Canadian arrival records for the unindexed period other than reading microfilm. Ships are on the reel, in order of arrival. You can find the details at this URL http://www.archives.ca/02/020202_e.html If you want to order filmed passenger lists (remember they aren't indexed!), a list of NAC microfilm numbers for passenger lists to Canada 1865-1922 can be found at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_can1865.shtml If you are patient, you will soon (?) be able to search these unindexed years! Library and Archives Canada plans to digitize passenger lists for 1865 to 1935 as part of their new Moving Here, Staying Here online exhibition at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/immigrants/index-e.html ********************** What's Available Online in Passenger Lists If you want to try your luck searching transcribed ships passenger lists online, passenger lists for Ships to Canada after 1865 are freely available at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tocan1865-now.shtml Home Children (1869-1930) database indexes from ships passenger lists is available at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/02/020110_e.html Nanaimo Family History Society has a Passenger List Indexing Project for 1900-1921 online at http://members.shaw.ca/nanaimo.fhs/ ********************** There are search engines to search online free databases on multiple websites for ships to Canada at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_shipscanada.shtml ********************** Miscellaneous Websites with Immigration Information on Ships to Canada after 1865 The Ships List http://www.theshipslist.com/ Ships Passenger Lists Online http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ Finding Ships Passenger Lists to Canada http://shipslists-online.rootschat.net/canada/ Ships Passenger Lists to Canada 1865-1930 http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tocan1865-now.shtml -- Lorine McGinnis Schulze * Olive Tree Genealogy (Ships Passenger Lists) http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ * Naturalization Records http://naturalizationrecords.com/ * Images of Ships Lists http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ otg@csolve.net or olivetreegenealogy@gmail.com
