"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. Many of the records relate to immigrants from the British Isles to Quebec and Ontario, but there are also references to settlers in other provinces. The database also includes other types of records such as declarations of aliens and names of some Irish orphans. 		The National Archives of Canada (NAC) holds unindexed immigration records from 1865 to 1935. To find a passenger you will need to know an exact date of arrival OR use the Ancestry.com searchable index for Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935

SEARCH FOR ANCESTORS IN SHIPS PASSENGER LISTS TO CANADA
You can start your search using the links below for passengers and surnames of interest, but I also suggest using my custom-built Search Engine! This Search Engine will search ALL off-site Internet pages and Olive Tree Genealogy pages for ships passenger lists to Canada.

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SEARCHING:

  1. Be creative with spelling - remember that spelling wasn't exact in the early years
  2. Remember that transcribers can make errors so if you don't find your ancestor, do a manual search on each list (use my links).
  3. Search Engines are indexed once a week, so new lists put online may not be in the Search Engine for 7 days. Thus you may miss an ancestor unless you also search using the links below
