This week's presentation was titled "Immigration Research." Annie included ways to find clues for arrival dates, immigration regulations, port descriptions, and websites for locating both Canadian and U. S. passenger lists. We also had a look at the research process including checking the passenger list index, using film of ship arrivals and manifests and browsing lists online.
We had a good crowd again this week; it's great to see so many with an interest in researching their families.
Jim Shanahan reported on a successful Robert Burns celebration last month and suggested that everyone with Scots heritage plan for next year's gathering, which will be held around January 25, the poet's birthday.
