Ships sailing to Connecticut, Maine, Massachussets, New Hampshire, Rhode Island & Vermont are listed below. Because the name "Virginia" was a catch-all phrase and could include parts of New England in the early 1600s, I have also included ships to Virginia from 1620-1640.

The National Archives of Canada holds immigration records from 1865 to 1935. The names of immigrants arriving from overseas are recorded in passenger lists. Those arriving from or via the United States are recorded in border entry lists. A series of old nominal indexes exist for the 1925 to 1935 records. In cooperation with the National Archives of Canada, the Pier 21 Society in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has input the information from the passenger list indexes into this database. Use the Search Box below to search the NAC database of immigration records. It is not necessary to fill in all the fields. Results of your search will show in a separate browser window, and clicking on any 'hit' will take you directly to the NAC site for more details.
