[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 627543, member: 3903"] We went on a boat cruise and tour of Grosse-Île on the St-Lawrence river yesterday. This is the island where all the Irish and Foreigners were quanrantined around 1840-1860 until they cleared with clean health. Interesting tour where maybe some of my ancestors passed through and some didn't make it through. Memorial for doctors who died in service on the island. [ATTACH type="full"]259869._xfImport[/ATTACH] Nurses that explained us how the "refugees" were first checked-up. [ATTACH type="full"]259870._xfImport[/ATTACH] Large "auto-claves" were used to sterilize the newcomers' belongings. [ATTACH type="full"]259871._xfImport[/ATTACH] Decal of a ship that used to be in service in those days was glued to a window. [ATTACH type="full"]259872._xfImport[/ATTACH] Utilities were not as modern as today, but they did have running water.
