Dear Norma,

You should try which is, I believe, a good
site for immigrants. You might also try Google with Immigrant Lists -
Canada.

also: although this is really for seaman
research but someimtes they can help.

You can view a list of all passenger ships (steamships not sailing ships)
that sailed to North America, South Africa and Australasia on this site
http://freespace.virgin.net/donald.hazeldine/Passenger.htm

Online passenger lists for Ships to Canada after 1865 can
be viewed at

http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tocanp05.shtml

There are also search engines to search various databases
of ships to Canada at

http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_shipscanada.shtml

A list of NAC microfilm numbers for passenger lists to
Canada 1865-1922 can be found at
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_can1865.shtml



and I think Cathy Day's site also covers Immigration

Hope some of this is of use,

good hunting,

Chris
