Destitute Immigrants per steamer Juno September 5th 1844
This is a list of head-of-household of immigrant families assisted to proceed to
Bytown (Ottawa), by the Government Emigration Officer. The numbers of, and
age-range of accompanying family members is noted beside each name, with the
intended final destination. They may have received additional assistance, after
arrival at Ottawa.
The Juno was not the sailing vessel on which they had arrived,
but one of the river steamers which carried the immigrants inwards from the
arrival port. . (Note: "- do -" is used for ditto and appears that way in
the original.)
