Immigrants at Grosse-Ile

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) website has a lot of genealogical information to offer, problem is, it's not that user-friendly. Can't pinpoint the exact problem, pages too crowded, not enough white space, search terms to general?? but I receive lots of requests from people saying they can't find what they are looking for there. Use the link below. It should bring you to LAC's page on Immigrants at Grosse-Ile. During the 1800's a lot of people fled Europe for Canada, reasons were many. Some were orphans sent over here to help families work the land, and eventually get jobs.
Some were just children whose parents sent them over hear hoping they would have a fine family that would give them a good life. Others were fleeing greedy landlords, many were fleeing disease, starvation and or poverty. Many people who boarded the ships were already infected with contagious disease. Quebec City was the main port into Canada. A quarantine station was set up in 1832 on an island in the St. Lawrence River, at Gross-Ile, to receive these people, and this is where they stayed until they were processed. The station closed in 1937 and is now a historic site.
