Abbreviations on Passenger Lists

[Gollach]

Hi everyone, does anyone know what "Bha" is on a passenger list under the column heading "Country of intended future permanent residence"     Ship was arriving in Liverpool from St John's Brunswick.  There were 3 of my relations marked on it in the column for "Scotland" then bracketed together was "Bha".  Hope I've explained this properly!
Many thanks in advance

It would be a good idea to take a little snip of the items you are interested in and attach it to a post here on Rootschat,  so others can see what what is happening.

You could add it to a reply on this post, or on a new post on this board

Include a few lines before and after your entries for handwriting comparison.

Hi,

Could it be B.N.A.?

B.N.A. was an abbreviation for British North America, which was another name for Canada. Maybe this was just a note that they had arrived from Canada.
