Ships List Indexing Project

From the Nanaimo Family History Society. This project's aim is to index arrivals at Halifax and Quebec (Montreal is included in the Port of Quebec) from 1900 to about 1921 when the passenger lists were discontinued. Currently the project is indexing Quebec arrivals from 1908 onwards.
