This is a sort of sideways query ... but relevant !

I just noticed your query when I was trying to find where I had found passenger lists before.  I FORGOT TO BOOKMARK IT !   

I can find the pay to view sites, but I'm not paying for masses of units when I know I found a free one previously !   Any ideas where I must have looked ??

First you look at the pay-per-view site to get the year and dest. port, then you go to Archives Canada to troll thru the pages.

If this is what you mean, here's the sites:-

Thanks for that Genie ... my goodness, what a mess some of the records are in !

I'll have to give more time to this than I can so late in the evening ! 

But at least I know where they are now !

Trolling through those ships manifest sheets will make you eyes stick out on stalks 

See if you can't get some kind soul to look them up for you.

Unfortunately, the archives only go up to a certain year (early 20's I think).
