Hi Angie,

There are none on-line for that year.  Here's a link where they are starting to transcribe the passenger lists but they only have 1908-1910.

You could also check www.ellisisland.org  Even though they may have come to Canada, alot of them went there.  It was very difficult coming down the St. Lawrence River through Canada, but a little easier (not much) coming up the Erie Canal.  For an example, Halifax, Nova Scotia to Toronto, Ontario is approximatly 19 hours away.  New York, New York to Toronto is only 9 hours.  So alot less travelling.

Do you know where the Booth family or your Step Aunt went to in Canada?

Karen
Gandley (but known as Stanley in Canada)- Ireland to Birmingham<br />Ball, Kempson & Franklin - Birmingham<br />Shorter - Surrey<br />Dyer - Devon<br />Dawkins - Co. Cork, Ireland<br />Heffernan - Ireland
Huck - Alsace, France
Reinhart - Baden, Germany
Bowman & Ellis - England
Etheridge - Gloucestershire

Who all came to Canada in a little row boat, clap clap, clap your hands!!

The National Archives of Canada (NAC) holds immigration
records from 1865 to 1935. 

Unfortunately the records before 1925 are not indexed. To
find a passenger you will need to know an exact date of
arrival.

There is no easy way to search Canadian arrival records for
this unindexed period other than reading microfilm


Ships are on the reel, in order of arrival. You can find the
details at this URL

           http://www.archives.ca/02/020202_e.html


If you want to order filmed passenger lists (remember they
aren't indexed!), a  list of NAC microfilm numbers for
passenger lists to Canada 1865-1922 can be found at

http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_can1865.shtml

If you want to try your luck searching transcribed ships
passenger lists online,  passenger lists for Ships to Canada
after 1865 are freely available at
