BORDER CROSSINGS - CANADA TO THE USA
MARCH 1915 --- GER-RUS
LDS microfilm # 1561366 St. Albans Records
.
Latest update: 9-14-99.
The surnames and place names are the closest I could make out from the handwriting. I am aware that many are wrong. If readers can make corrections I will be glad
to post them. Please note that while all these people crossed the border in the same month they were not necessarily traveling together. There were several crossing points. This is one of the better quality microfilms - the page numbers are legible in the lower left corner of the 'names' page.
If I couldn't read some of the data then those interested may want to order the film at their FHC and give it another try. Corrections and additions will be added to this page, if sent to me.
Can any reader tell us what the references to Debarred, appended, dismissed and file # 110044/1454 are all about?
