Genealogy Page

 Note: this Genealogy Page is divided into the following sub-sections:
  • Miscellaneous Immigration Index The National Archives of Canada (NAC) holds a few lists of immigrant settlers and passenger lists scattered within various collections, mostly relating to immigrants from Great Britain arriving in Canada between 1801 and 1849. Staff of the Genealogy Unit prepared a nominal card index to most of those lists, which is referred to as the Miscellaneous Immigration Index. With the Archives' permission we have input the information from those cards into a database containing approximately 15,000 names. A list of sources is also provided, which gives a brief description of the information that can be found in each record.

  • InGeneas Alternate Surnames List contains more than 10,500 surname variations and misspellings that have been encountered in genealogical research. Surnames were often spelled in many difference ways, and on documents such as ship manifests or census records, spelling often depended upon the recording clerk's interpretation. Along with human error, writers with very poor handwriting and even poorer writing implements (which can transform a Babbitt into a Rabbit), old documents in precarious condition and microfilms of questionable quality, a particular surname can appear in many forms during an ancestor's lifetime. In attempts to make your quest a bit easier, inGeneas offers this list of alternate spellings.
