"passengers" gives 89 hits only * Index to Miscellaneous Immigrants to Canada Before 1865 A number of lists have been indexed by name in this database.

The database also includes other types of records such as declarations of aliens and names of some Irish orphans.

A very exciting NEW project as of October 2011 is the Poor Law Union Immigration from England to Canada. These are names of impoverished people whose parishes in England did not wish to support with money. Rather than go to the workhouse they were given the option of emigrating to Canada, New Zealand or Australia. You will find names of passengers for 23 ships sailing between 1836 and 1853 - ships that until this project had no known passenger list surviving! Also included are names of emigrants between 1836 and 1871. Another ongoing project is Emigrants from England in New York City Almshouse 1818-1830 - 254 names of English immigrants to Canada & USA including the name of the ship they sailed on.
