Tip of the Week

Canadian Immigration
Between 1600 and 1920, more than 36 million immigrants from all over Europe and
Russia immigrated to the United States. A February Tip of the Week listed some of the
different ports of arrival in North America. Some of your ancestors may have arrived in
North America via a port in Canada. To help in your detective work as you research
your family, you may find the website “Library and Archives Canada” helpful. To view
the site, click the following link:
