Filling in the Gaps in Ships Passenger Lists to Canada
Before 1865 Ships Passenger lists on Ships Sailing to Ports in Canada did not have to be archived. It is a challenging time period to find passenger lists in!
Olive Tree Genealogy has several ongoing Immigration Projects to find or reconstruct Canadian Ships Passenger Lists before 1865. They are the J J Cooke Shipping Records 1847 to 1871 with its lists of Irish passengers and New York Almshouse Records 1818-1855 with its lists of ships and passengers arriving in Canadian ports. 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.
Completed projects include Names of Emigrants from the 1845-1847 (Records of James Allison, Emigrant Agent at Montreal Quebec Canada) Return of Emigrants Landed at the Port of Kingston Ontario, Canada (1861-1882) and Peter Robinson Irish Immigration to Peterborough (1823 and 1825)
These projects provide genealogists with names of ships and either full or partial passenger lists of those sailing to Canada. Some individuals were bound for USA, others settled in Canada
