- Finding Passenger Lists & Immigration Records - North America. By Rick Roberts. Tens of thousands of Canadian immigrants arrived at American ports and then continued on to Canada by road, railway or inland waterways. The same is true of those who arrived in Canadian ports, then made a hard-left-turn into the USA. This article is designed to help you locate the arrival records of those who immigrated to North America, regardless of where they finally settled.
- New York Inbound Passenger Lists 1820-1846. By Rick Roberts. Millions of Canadians and Americans are descended from immigrants who arrived at the port of New York. Most of the early records survive and have been microfilmed. Included here, are National Archives microfilm numbers and LDS Family History Library microfilm numbers, They are sorted alphabetically by immigrant surname. Includes information on how to access films.
- Flag Etiquette - Official U.S. Flag Code. By Rick Roberts. American flag flying etiquette and practise is highly regulated. Ever wonder what days you should fly your national flag? Or where to place state and municipal flags when grouped with the U.S. Flag? Curious about how to properly fold a flag? Then read on.
- About Colorado's Historic Newspaper Collection (CHNC). By Rick Roberts. CHNC contains over 291,000 digitized pages that are searchable online. The relevance for Canadians is quite staggering... thousands of Canadians settled in Colorado. Still others ventured through Colorado on their way to settle in other points west.
- US Military records opened By Gordon Watts. The US National Archives (NARA) and the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis made available to public access the personnel files for nearly 1.2 million former US Navy and Marine Corp enlisted personnel. Files released so far are for those who served between 1885 and 1939.
- Did you know that Florida was once part of Canada? By Xenia Stanford. I like to shock people with this revelation. Perhaps I have said it too many times for it to be still a surprise. However, the misunderstanding of the old boundaries has caused much puzzlement to genealogists looking for their ancestors in North America.
Are Acadian graves in Louisiana at risk? Sandra Devlin.
According to some, the bones of Acadian exiles interred in Louisiana are being desecrated to save a few dollars. According to at least one anonymous source, the controversy brewing in Saint Martinville, Louisiana, of Longfellow-Evangeline fame, is just so much hogwash. You be the judge.
Canadian Lumbermen Ancestors in USA By Ryan Taylor. Throughout the nineteenth century there was always a need for lumbermen, first to help the settlers chop and then in larger scale lumbering operations.
Extant Acadian (Louisiana) Church Records By Tim Hebert. There are hundreds of thousands of Acadian descendants in Canada and the United States. If your family tree has one or more branches in Acadia, a key source of information will be the church records.
From The Outer Hebrides to The Carolinas By Bill Lawson. The earliest major emigration from the Western Isles of Scotland was to Virginia and the Carolinas, but this was not, as it is often pictured, the flight of impoverished and demoralised peasantry, forced to leave their land. On the contrary, it was a well-prepared move by some of the wealthier classes in the Highlands and Islands to set up a New Highlands in a New World.
"Boston-States" Lured Maritimers Part I By Sandra Devlin. Maybe the next two columns will provide a tip-of-the-iceberg insight to the many and varied New England-Maritime connections sufficient to help family researchers be aware of and trace their own New England connections. For if you are searching in the Maritimes, you are probably also searching in New England.
