Note-
Answers to a couple questions I was asked
1) Were these children sent to Quebec from
Ireland as orphans? Or were they
orphaned on the way to Quebec?
These children became orphans as a result of their parents dieing
either while crossing the Atlantic or while in hospital at Grosse Ile.
2) Do you know if people from Co. Tyrone entered thru Quebec to the USA or what
port those
from
Co. Tyrone would have departed from Ireland?
Many, many emigrants entered through Grosse Ile, and continued their
journeys beyond- including to the USA. From the late 1700's- 1850 or so- it was
cheaper for people to come to Canada- then after that,it became cheaper to
go to the United States. I think the port of departure depended on where in Co. Tyrone the person lived.
