Data available at Your local Library or Society of Genealogists (SOG) Canada’s leading family history website has completed the online launch of the Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935  with records documenting the arrival into Canada of more than 750,000 individuals between 1919 and 1924. The only online source for these records, Ancestry.ca now provides access to the largest collection of immigration records to Canada – more than eight million records in total – from the key growth period of 1865 to 1935.
“The amount of information about the passengers in these records is almost unseen in any other immigration record worldwide,” said Karen Peterson, Marketing Director, Ancestry.ca. “You can truly travel back in time and know exactly what your ancestors looked like when they arrived to start a new life in Canada, and know the reasons, from their own testament, as to why they came.
“By making this important collection of Canadian immigration records available online, everyone can now discover their personal family story, and also understand where and why it sits within the bigger story about our country’s history and growth, when so many came from around the world to start a new life in Canada.” Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 database is available free in the SoG library, local public library(where available) and can subscribed to at home through Ancestry.ca.
