Hi Doris,

Thanks! :-} but I'm afraid that is "all she wrote."

<<....A new Customs Building was built in the same location, and the lists
below were discovered in an old vault in that building. These lists appear
to be the only surviving passenger records for the port of Saint John for
this period,....>>

Marj and I are always on the hunt though, and you can be sure that when we
find something new, we'll get it on the webpage as soon as possible. I do
have another St. John list for 1856, found at the Halifax archives, so will
be trying to decipher that in the near future. It is a different type of
list (from Londonderry), which seems to indicate who sponsored the
passengers, indicating fare, and "Earnest" money paid. I've never seen
that before, but it will be a challange, as the writing is very scrawled.

Sue
