Hi there

These people have started to transcribe those ships that left Britain for Canada around 1910.

The ultimate plan is to list all those from 1900-1921,but it's being done by volunteers so may take some time.

Hope this helps

hi carol
            thanks for reply and link, but the problem i have, is i do not know the name of the boat my ancester was on or year,
i need to find all boat names for that period, and check out each passenger list, daunting task but the only way i think

                        thanks again

It would be worth looking on the Ellis Island website Jake, if your family are listed, it could well show the name of the ship they sailed on, It did mine.

Hi Jake,

What was his name?  Was he here for the 1911 census, it may list his immigration year.
