I've been working on a project called Immigrants proceeding to Upper Canada via New York 1817-1819
I
have
extracted the names and basic information for each of the 199 people who
applied for passes to leave New York and enter Upper Canada (present
day Ontario) The actual passes contain more information including age,
place of origin, occupation, how many in family and sometimes detailed
notes about the immigrant.
The passes begin at Image 33 with number 17228. To find an ancestor pass, just find the name in the list at Immigrants proceeding to Upper Canada via New York 1817-1819 , copy the pass number then go to Canadiana.org and paste the pass number into the search engine that says "Search within this reel"
For example one name on the list is
If this were your ancestor you would use the Canadiana.org link above and enter 17266 into the search engine on that site. You can see his pass above.
