657 pages, government document report on immigration. What a treasure! Shows date, place of origin (hometown) description of person (such as pensioner from 52 regiment or pauper or royal wagon train, weaver, carpenter etc) Description of family (such as wife, three sons and five daughters) and subject of application (such as Desires free passage to New South Wales or British North America, or Requests free passage and permission to settle where he pleases or else will pay his own way.)
Immigrants are from Scotland, Ireland and England.
This is an amazing set of records for very early Canadian immigration!
