Here is a link to a new site about Grosse Ile in Quebec - the quarantine
station for many Irish immigrants. Jack McEneny mentioned this briefly
during his talk.
There is a database that you can search, though it's doesn't have a great
search engine, no advanced search options etc. But it's interesting.
