The Missing Friends Project at
http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/MissingFriends/ has added
another set of extracts from Newspapers.

The recent set is from the Boston Pilot, published in
Boston Massachusetts.

>From October 1831 to October 1921, the Boston Pilot
newspaper printed a Missing Friends (Information Wanted)
column with advertisements from people looking for lost
friends and relatives who had emigrated from Ireland to the
United States & Canada.

Many travelling to Canadian ports went on to USA, but
others remained in Canada. This project is extracting the
names and other details of those who sailed into Quebec and
other Canadian Ports of Arrival. Many of those who settled
in America sailed to Canadian ports as the cost was much
less.

This new dataset of Missing Friends from the Boston Pilot
is for those who were known to have arrived or settled in
Quebec. Since ships passenger lists to Canada did not have
to be archvived before 1865, these extractions will form an
important piece in the gap in surviving ships passenger
lists.

on to others - enjoy!
