Here are some marriages in Ontario, 1800-1924 (although most of mine aren't on there, yet): http://homepages.rootsweb*com/~maryc/ontmarr.htm (replace * with .) Census for 1901 and about 75% transcription for 1911 census: http://automatedgenealogy*com/index.html (replace * with .) Note: you can view the actual document, as well Also: http://www*collectionscanada.ca/index-e.html (Choose Archives on upper right of page) Canadian Genealogy and History Links: http://www.islandnet*com/~jveinot/cghl/alberta.html One of the best sites for Canada: http://www*cyndislist*com/canada.htm Pay per view site (I use this to see if I can find a record, then look elsewhere on free sites. However, I have ordered records in the past and it is an excellent site.) : http://www*ingeneas*com/ingeneas/index.html Would you like to post any information about the people. Perhaps we can help as well?

For passenger lists, have a look at the Passenger Lists thread on the Records Office board.

Hi, I believe one or several of my ancestors emigrated to Canada, possibly around 1900 and wondered if any of you bright sparks could enlighten me as to where I start my search on ships passenger logs, and marriages in Canada? I've no idea how and where to start, so ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Lou
