he 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. For more information about the genealogy resources at the National Archives of Canada, click here: http://www.archives.ca/www/Genealogy.html.

Simply use the search form below. If you have any trouble, refer to How to use the inGeneas  Search Engine.

From the list of matching records your search generates, if you find a record of interest, click on this name and the complete contents of that record will display as well as all source information (including the related National Archives of Canada reference numbers).

If your initial search is not successful, consider using an alternate surname spelling. In this case, the inGeneas  Alternate Surnames list may be of help.
