T-4823 LAKE MICHIGAN Antwerp, Belgium 1911-02-22 St. John, N.B. 1911-03-11 (CPR) Canadian Pacific Railway Co., Montreal / Victoria, Canada (not C.P.O.S.) (O): Austrians; Roumanians; Bukovinians; Hungarians; Russians; Bulgarians; Poles; Germans; Ruthenian Captain Henry Parry; quarantine: some passengers to hospital It has been a while since I viewed that manifest. It may be on a separate page, but regardless, it is filmed with the passenger list. >2. Any way of finding any information about which hospital and what the reason >was for the hospitalization? For Quebec arrivals, individuals might be found here http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-504-e.html . . but there is no such database for St. John or Halifax The quarantine list could very well provide details of the reason for the persons being quarantined. Sometimes it was as simple as one or two children of a family with measles, so the whole family would be held together whether they were sick or not. I'm sure that was more comforting for the children being quarantined. By 1911, especially if the "extra" list was filmed (rather than just margin notes) the discharge date should be noted beside their name(s). I'm not 100% positive whether the St. John quarantine station was still on Partridge Island in 1911 or whether they would have been at a down-town hospital. You will know better after you view the passenger list. The passenger manifest is on Microfilm at the Library & Archives of Canada [LAC], in Ottawa. The Ships are placed on the reel, in order of arrival. You can borrow this reel on an Inter Library Loan [ILL]. You can find the details for this procedure at this LAC Genealogy Research URL http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/index-e.html You are also able to ILL free of charge, from Ottawa, to libraries in the US, and outside North America. These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are not indexed. The LAC will allow your Library to borrow up to six microfilms on your behalf, per request. The LDS now have copies of the post-1900 Canadian arrivals, so check here for links and details http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#lds Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
