Were there a large number of ships traveling in 1868 from Liverpool to Quebec? I'm hoping to find my great grandfather on one of them. Are passenger lists available? He was then known as Hans Olsen, later as Hans Borgen. William Treumann __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

On the 1865 census Hans was listed at 45, which was his age "next birthday," so you would be looking for someone about 47 yrs of age. We also know they were from Enebak, so he would have departed from Christiania. Did his wife Anne Marie Pedersdatter emigrate with him . . any other children? As you know, there are only a handful of emigration records for 1868 on the Digitalarkivet. From the CD-ROM --"TheShipsList Passenger Ship Arrivals Canadian Ports 1865-1899"-- http://theshipslist.com/cdrom/index.htm Looking first at sailing vessels, with a few examples (there were 15 Christiania-Quebec) http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_year.asp?ye=1868 C-4523 BENEDICTE Christiania, Norway 1868-05-01 Quebec, Que. 1868-06-21 -- List Number: 44; ship, Captain Fr.

It won't be too difficult to read that many passenger lists, plus peruse the sailing vessel lists for yourself, just in case he was not a transmigrant. If you are unsuccessful, read the whole film more than once yourself and borrow a pair of eyes to help you. All of the Liverpool-Quebec ships in 1868 are "Montreal Ocean Steamship Company (Allan Line)." 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 from Ottawa, to libraries in the US, and outside North America. These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are not indexed. The LDS do also have copies of this microfilm, their number LDS number 0889443 ~ 1868 ~ port of Quebec Good luck, Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
