Because so many immigrants traveled on canals, many genealogists would like to find copies of canal passenger lists. Unfortunately, apart from the years 1827-1829, canal boat operators were not required to record or report passenger names to the New York State government. Those 1827-1829 passenger lists survive today in the New York State Archives.[[Erie|<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Erie Canal" in ''Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia'' at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie_Canal (accessed 24 June 2009).</ref>]]<span class="mw-reflink-text">[3]</span><span class="mw-reflink-text">[3]</span><span class="mw-reflink-text">[3]</span> | Because so many immigrants traveled on canals, many genealogists would like to find copies of canal passenger lists.

Prior to the building of the Champlain and Erie canals the settlers in upstate [[New York Genealogy|New York]] were often from New England, especially [[Vermont Genealogy|Vermont]]. Once the canals were finished, setters could also move farther west into [[Ohio Genealogy|Ohio]]. Most of the men who labored to build the Champlain Canal were from [[Ireland Genealogy|Ireland]] and many of them settled near it. | Prior to the building of the Champlain and Erie canals the settlers in upstate [[New York Genealogy|New York]] were often from New England, especially [[Vermont Genealogy|Vermont]].
