Emigration records list the names of people leaving and immigration records list those coming into [[Canada Genealogy|Canada]]. There are passenger lists for ships coming into Canada and border-crossing records of people leaving for the United States or coming from the United States into Canada. These records may include an emigrant’s name, age, occupation, destination, and sometimes the place of origin or birth.
Most of these sources begin in the late 19th century. They can be very valuable for determining where your ancestor came from. They can also help you construct family groups.
If you don’t find your ancestor’s name, you may find emigration information on neighbors of your ancestor. Neighbors from the British Isles or Europe often settled together in Canada. Canadians who went to the United States sometimes settled in groups.
=== Finding the Emigrant’s Town of Origin  ===
When you have traced your family back to your immigrant ancestor, you need to determine the city or town your ancestor was from. You may be able to learn about the town by talking to older family members or by searching family or library documents, such as:
*Birth, marriage, and death certificates.
*Obituaries.
*Journals.
*Photographs.
*Letters.
*Family Bibles.
*Church certificates or records.
*Naturalization applications and petitions.
*Family heirlooms.
Sometimes it is possible to guess where an immigrant originated through [[Surname Distribution Maps|surname distribution maps]].
To learn more about your immigrant ancestors, see [[Tracing Immigrant Origins]].
