Like the United
States, Canada has a number of excellent sites, including Immigration Records;
Land Grants; Port of Entry Lists; Passenger Ship
Arrivals and more. Emigration information
of the nineteenth century and the ships
they came on - are a great starting point for solid
research information The immigrant
records of those entering Canada are in the Canadian Archives in Ottawa
and the US records of those who crossed from Canada are in the
National Archives in Washington with copies at various
branches around the United States. Immigration records
for the years 1924-1935 are available at the Canadian
Archives website
St. Albans Canadian border
crossing Incentives were offered by the Canadian Government, the Railways and some of the shipping companies to bring immigrants to Canada. The traditional migration route, once the Canadian Pacific Railroad was completed, was either by ship to Halifax, St. John, Quebec, or Montreal and then by train to various towns in Canada. Other possibilities for those emigrating to Canada could have been New York to Chicago or Duluth, Minnesota, etc. They came directly from Europe to western Canada. Many went to agricultural colonies scattered across the prairies. The main incentive was the availability of land. Some had help from the JCA (Jewish Colonization Association, founded by Baron Hirsch) or other similar organizations. "The only online
immigrations records for Canada are for arrivals after
1935, and that's just an index. But all is not lost. First,
you should determine - or guess - at which US border city he came
into America. Records for those crossings do exist, are
microfilmed, and available from the Mormon Library, nearby US
National Archives, etc. There are the St. Albans Lists, the
most well known of the records. These encompass the many
small border towns in New England. There are also two or three
sets for New York State border crossings, and records for
those who entered via Detroit. These records may indicate when
your grandfather actually arrived in Canada - or they may not.
The more you can narrow down the date he arrived, the easier the
next step will be." For more information on interlibrary loan: Canadian Addresses ... there are some very valuable sites, believe me. I have used these sites in my continuous researching of my wife's family --- SMOLKIN --- from Ossipovich, Belarus who emigrated to Montreal in the late 1800s. Should you, in your research come across this surname, I would appreciate, as a favor to my wife, if you would let me know if you find any information about the Smolkin name. It will be most appreciated. Jwebindex@gmail.com I sincerely hope you too will find a great amount of interesting information from this site. About 25% of Canadians have at least one family tie to the U.S., if you go back 2 to 3 generations. So, if you are in need of Canadian documents, Eve Greenfield suggests the following: "I got the info from the State Department's Foreign Affairs Manual, which lists addresses to write for biographic docs all over the world. For Manitoba, the appropriate agency is: Vital Statistics Agency, 254-258 Portage Ave., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3C OB6 Ask them to send you a request form for the genealogical birth certificate; Canada issues three types of birth certificates, but the genealogical one is actual microfilm copy of the form that was filled out when the birth was recorded. The fee is $25 Canadian (US $18), which you will need to send them probably in the form of a postal money order. One catch: you will need the written permission of the individuals in question to have documents released to you, if they are living, or permission of their next of kin, if they are deceased.

1901 Census
for Canada - has much valuable genealogical information, such
as names and birth dates for all family members, birthplaces
and sometimes a year of immigration and occupation. The
National Archives is located in Ottawa. Canadian census of 1901.
The entries given are in easily readable form, and there is a
place for one to enter corrections. The original
census records are also visible. Allen
County Public Library, Fort Wayne, Indiana - an excellent
source for Canadian and Ellis Island Passenger lists as well as other material. Arrival in Canadian Ports - circa 1912 - country of birth and race entries - ship manifests information. The Pursers were instructed to fill in the information required in columns 17 (Country of Birth) and 19 (Race of People). Immigration officials were responsible for columns 3 (Amount of Cash $) and 20 (Destination Post Office) Different color forms were to be used for each of three classes: steerage - white, interims - yellow and saloon - blue. The countries were mostly European and reflected the great fragmentation of the Balkan States at the time (Serbia, Croatia and Dalmatia) There were some anomalies in that names were listed for some geographical entities that were not a state e.g. Galicia. There were five categories of the Hebrew race: Hebrew NES (Not Otherwise Specified), Hebrew Austrian, Hebrew German, Hebrew Polis and Hebrew Russian. In the column under religious Denomination, Hebrew would be shown for persons of the Hebrew race. Some Pursers preferred to us the term Jew instead of Hebrew in spite of the fact that the term Jew was not included in the listing of races. Ukrainian is not listed, the official term listed is "Ruthenian" (Russniak). The immigrants were required to have at least $25 in cash when they landed. That would equate to two or three hundred of today's dollars. Many
Canadians and some U.S. citizens arrived in the 'new country' at Pier
21 on the Halifax waterfront. Actually 1.5
million immigrants first set foot on Canadian soil at this pier.
During WW II, 3,000 British evacuee children, 50,000 war
brides and their 22,000 children, over 100,000 refugees and
368,000 Canadian troops bound for Europe passed through Pier 21.

Albans List - St. Alban's is a town in Vermont, but
this list nonetheless includes all entries into the US
from Canada via Atlantic and Pacific ports and everything
in between. A large number of immigrants came to the
United States via Canada during the mid- and late nineteenth
century, and for them there is no U.S. immigration record. They
landed in Canada where no U.S. officer met them or recorded
information about their arrival in the United States. The
always-growing number of immigrants who chose this route in the late
1800s finally convinced the United States, in 1894, to build and
operate the bureaucratic machinery necessary to document the
many thousands who each year entered at points along its
northern border. For

The first Jewish settler was "Leaping" Louis Gold, arriving from Poland in 1872. He ran a general store in Gastown, and received his leaping name because he was a small man who could leap high when the situation required it. At the end of the 19th century, Jewish immigrants arrived from England, the U.S. and Central Europe. In 1916, the first synagogue was built and called the Orthodox Sons of Israel. David Oppenheimer, a wealthy Jew, established Stanley Park. One of the most popular Jewish personality stories is the one about David Marks, a Vancouver tailor and synagogue president, who invited a visiting performer playing the local vaudeville theater to a family Passover Seder. Marks' daughter Sadie fell in love and married the performer, Benjamin Kubelsky of Chicago. The couple is better known by their stage names: Jack Benny and Mary Livingston. There are two Conservative synagogues (Beth Israel and Har El) one Reform (Temple Sholom) two Orthodox (Schara Tzedeck and Louis Brier) one Sephardic Orthodox (Beth Ha'Midrash) one Hasidic (Chabad-Lubavitch) two Traditional (Shaarey Tefilah and Burquest) and one Renewal (Or Shalom). The city also boasts a Jewish School and an excellent Jewish community center with a huge library, a fine art collection, a pool, gym and a kosher snack bar. The center holds an annual Jewish Film Festival. The Cloverdale Library, Genealogy Dept., has, on microfilm, passenger lists of ships arriving in Canadian ports from late 1890s into the 1920s. You need to know the approximate year of arrival, then you can search the film ship by ship and name by name until you find the required information. If you live outside the Cloverdale area, the charge is $2.00 for use of the viewing equipment. Photocopies directly from the microfilm is 10 cents a copy.
