Emigration records to USA/Canada 1928-1940?
« on: Monday 26 December 05 22:26 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find records or any information on an emigration programme for young people in 1920s-40s.  my mother remembers 2 of her aunties  leaving Belfast for Canada or USA (not sure exactly where)  when she was a child, apparently they were girl guides? Any light on this one?

A Happy and Peaceful New Year to You Wendl,

Did anyone else have a problem with the address here?
I did so I hope no one minds the fact that I made alterations. It looks OK now.
