Lists

This page helps to source out passenger lists, and methods of immigration. For more about the ethnic place of origin, and citizenhip see history and the Saskatchewan Ethnic Origins project

Many of the immigrants to Canada during the early 1900's came via the port of Halifax or New York. The various passenger lists help to trace your ancestors journey from their homeland to various parts of North America. It is sometimes best to do other research first before starting here, to narrow down the search range of dates and reels to search through. The various mailing lists have very knowledgable people familiar with immigration patterns of various cultures and times of departure of various ships which coincide with emigration patterns.

Before this time, if they were of English extraction they came via the Hudson Bay trade routes through Hudson Bay and traveled through to Northern Saskatchewan. If the they were of French descent they came through the St. Lawrence waterway, via Winnipeg and through to Saskatchewan via inland routes.

Card Manifests: St. Albans Passenger Arrival Records

In 1894, immigrants destined for the US leaving Canada were inspected and had information recorded on cards about folk who crossed the Canada-US border between 1895-1952. About 3 million cards were issued to passengers who traveled by train through ports along the borders from Washington to Maine. On the card is recorded the passengers name, age, birth, physical description, last residence, job, next of kin in country of departure, family in city of arrival, seaport vessel date of arrival, date and location of border crossing.
