Canadian Immigrant Records, Part One
Free Until 3/9/00
Description: Historically, Canada has been the destination for
millions of immigrants from around the world seeking a better life in
North America. Compiled from a variety of sources, this database is a
collection of over 146,800 records between 1780 and 1906 relating to
immigrants to Canada. This update adds the names of over 26,800
persons. Researchers will find the name of the immigrant and year and
source of the original record. The entries in this database are not
complete transcriptions of the original records; an e-mail link is
provided at the bottom of each results page for those who would like
to purchase a more detailed electronic transcript for a particular
entry. This database can be immensely helpful for researchers with
Canadian ancestors. We will periodically be adding more Canadian
immigration data to our online library, so return to
Ancestry.com
often.
Extended Description: Researchers throughout North America will
appreciate the value of this database that has been compiled from a
variety of sources to represent the movement of immigrants to Canada.
Historically, there have been frequent periods of migration between
the United States and Canada, creating an interesting research problem
for the genealogist. Neither Canadian nor American researchers can
afford to be ignorant of records in the other nation. Passage to
Canada was often less expensive than travelling to ports in the United
States, so immigrants might travel to Canada and then complete their
journey to the United States on land. Economic and social pressures
have also played important roles in migration patterns.
The entries in this database are extracted from original records. They
have been compiled to represent only those individuals for whom
immigration information was available in the original records. The
entries in this database are not complete transcriptions of the
original records; an email link is provided at the bottom of each
results page for those who would like to purchase a more detailed
electronic transcript for a particular entry.
The information in this database comes from a variety of original
documents. A large majority of the entries have been extracted from
the 1901 census records for parts of Ontario and Quebec and represent
those individuals who indicated a year of immigration and a place of
birth outside of Canada. Other records represented include: historical
atlases of Ontario, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island; biographical
extracts from Quebec's Eastern Townships; War Office records listing
Loyalist regiments in Lower Canada (Quebec); the 1851 census of Quebec
City (for those who indicated a place of birth outside of Canada);
early Irish immigrants in Eastern Ontario; groups of Scottish
immigrants to Upper Canada (Ontario); and, Crown land grants in Kent
County, Ontario.
The original records from which this database has been prepared are
housed in a number of archives and libraries across Canada. The source
information for each record will guide you to the relevant collection.
