Index to Doukhobor Ship Passenger Lists

by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff

Ship passenger lists constitute the official record of Doukhobor immigration to Canada. Compiled on board by the ship’s purser and examined by customs and immigration authorities upon arrival, they are an important source of genealogical and historical information. The following is an index of over 101 ship lists containing Doukhobor passengers who arrived in Canada in between 1898-1899, 1902-1906, 1909-1914 and 1925-1932. Search chronologically to find the ship name, port and date of departure, port and date of arrival and number of Doukhobor passengers. Then consult the Library and Archives Canada microfilm copies or online images of the original ship passenger lists.

Arrivals in 1898-1899

The first (and by far the largest) wave of Doukhobor immigration took place in 1898 – 1899 when over 7,500 Doukhobors from the Caucasus sailed from the Black Sea port of Batum to the Canadian ports of Quebec and Halifax. These chartered trans-Atlantic voyages were funded by Russian novelist Count Leo Tolstoy and by the Society of Friends (Quakers) in England and America. It was the largest mass migration in Canadian history.

Arrivals in 1902-1906

A second wave of Doukhobor immigration took place in 1902 – 1906. During this time, over 285 Doukhobors took coastal ships from Russia to Western European ports, where they boarded transatlantic ships bound for Canada. These were Doukhobors detained in Russia until their terms of exile or military service had expired. These voyages were funded by the Doukhobor community in Canada.

Arrivals in 1909-1914 

The third major wave of Doukhobor immigration took place between 1909 and 1914. During this time, over 895 Doukhobors from the Caucasus took coastal ships from mainland Russia to Western European ports. There they boarded trans-Atlantic ships bound for Canada. This wave was prompted by fear of conscription in the impending war between Germany and Russia.

**Note: there is no extant passenger list for this ship. These Doukhobor passengers are listed as “miscellaneous Boston arrivals” and are attributed to this ship based on anecdotal evidence.

Arrivals in 1925-1932

Doukhobor immigration to Canada decreased substantially with the outbreak of the Great War in 1914.  It was halted altogether on June 9, 1919 when the Parliament of Canada passed Order-in-Council P.C. 1204 prohibiting the landing in Canada of any Doukhobor, Hutterite or Mennonite because of their “peculiar habits, modes of life and methods of holding property”. By the time the Order was repealed on March 1, 1925, the Soviet regime had placed rigid restrictions on emigration outside the U.S.S.R. The trickle of immigration which followed was largely limited to Returning Canadians and members of the Verigin family.

Passenger List Information

In 1899, ship passenger lists provided the following information for each passenger: date of embarkation, name, age, gender, whether a head of a household on board, number persons in the family, profession, calling or occupation, nation or country of birth, births at sea, deaths, place of ultimate destination. The amount of information required by the government increased over the years. By 1918, the forms generally included for each passenger: amount of money in hand, name, age, gender, marital status, previous time in Canada and details, intention to settle, ability to read and write, country of birth, race of people, destination (post office and province), occupation in old country, intended occupation in Canada, past work as a farmer or labourer, religious denomination, means to travel inland. Passenger lists may also include various markings markings, codes, and annotations written beside each passenger. For example, such annotations may indicate if the passenger was deported, detailed, quarantined or hospitalized.

Accuracy of Information

Ship passenger lists may contain false and misleading data. For example, patronymics or family nicknames are sometimes recorded instead of official surnames. In some lists, the nationality of Doukhobor passengers is mistakenly recorded as Polish or German. In other lists, the religion of Doukhobor passengers is mistakenly recorded as Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic or Jewish. All passenger list information should be cross-referenced with other material to confirm accuracy.

Completeness of Records

The ship passenger lists for over 3,200 Doukhobor immigrants are missing or incomplete. In particular, the passenger list for the S.S. Lake Huron, which arrived in Halifax on January 10, 1899, was lost in Winnipeg, Manitoba by Immigration Branch officials and is presumed destroyed. Also, the ship’s purser on board the S.S. Lake Superior, which arrived in Halifax on February 17, 1899, recorded only 899 of the 1,997 Doukhobor passengers.

If your Doukhobor family immigrated to Canada in 1899 but does not appear in the ship passenger lists above, then by process of elimination, they probably sailed aboard the first voyage of the SS Lake Huron or the SS Lake Superior. As indicated above, these ship passenger lists are missing or incomplete. If they immigrated from Tiflis province, Russia, they probably sailed aboard the SS Lake Huron. If they immigrated from Elizavetpol or Kars province, Russia, they probably sailed aboard the SS Lake Superior. 

Spelling and Legibility

The names recorded in passenger lists are the original Russian, pre-Canadianized versions of names. Furthermore, they were written down by the ship’s purser phonetically the way that they sounded. Therefore, do not expect to find your Doukhobor ancestor’s name spelled as it is today; realize that your immigrant ancestor was probably illiterate and even if he or she could read Russian, they would not be able to recognize the written name since it was written in English. Researchers must be able to recognize alternate spellings for the surnames they are looking for. 

Worn and torn pages, faded or smudged ink, poor handwriting, and improper focus or exposure for microfilming all affect legibility of ship passenger lists, making them difficult to decipher. Sometimes pages may be microfilmed out of order or missing altogether.

How to Obtain Copies

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) holds copies of the original passenger lists of ships arriving at major Canadian ports for the period 1865-1935. Microfilm copies (see above for microfilm numbers) may be obtained directly or through interlibrary loan from LAC. Many libraries, archives and LDS Family History Centers across Canada also hold microfilm copies of LAC ship passenger lists. As well, electronic copies (see above for links) may be accessed online at the LAC Canadian Genealogy Centre website.

Indexes

The following indices have been prepared for Doukhobor ship passenger lists: 

  • Kalmakoff, Jonathan. Index to Doukhobor Ship Passenger Surnames. This online index contains Doukhobor surnames extracted from ship passenger lists for the period 1898 to 1932. By searching for a surname, you will find the name of the ship(s) on which that surname was listed. Then use the Index to Doukhobor Ship Passenger Lists (this page) to locate the original ship passenger lists.

This 154 page book contains 5,196 names of Doukhobor passengers who sailed to Canada from Russia between 1898 and 1928 aboard 29 different ships. Includes the name, age, sex, ship, date of departure, date of arrival, port of departure, port of arrival and intended destination of each Doukhobor passenger. Full bibliographic references and index. 

Ports of Departure and Arrival

In 1899, Doukhobors in the Caucasus and Cyprus departed from the ports of Batum and Larnaca, respectively. After 1899, Doukhobor immigrants took coastal ships from mainland Russia to Western European ports, where they boarded trans-Atlantic ships bound for Canada. Most departed through the English ports of Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol, Avonmouth, Glasgow and London. Some Doukhobor immigrants departed through the German ports of Hamburg and Bremen. Still others departed through the French ports of Bordeaux and Le Havre, the Dutch port of Rotterdam, the Flemish port of Antwerp or the Italian port of Naples. The number of Doukhobor passengers that departed from each port is as follows: 

Port of Departure Passengers % of Total
Batum 6,423 72.6
Larnaca 1,036 11.7
Liverpool 509 5.6
Hamburg 328 3.7

Glasgow 16 —
Rotterdam 7 .07
Avonmouth 5 .05
Buenos Aires 5 —
London 3 .02
Libau 1 .01

Halifax, open year-round, was the most frequently-used port of entry by Doukhobor immigrants arriving in Canada. The next most-used port was Quebec, which was open from May to November. The port of St. Johns also welcomed Doukhobor immigrants, but at much lower levels. Not all immigrants bound for Canada came through Canadian ports. Some Doukhobor immigrants arrived through the American ports of New York and Boston, spending their first few days in North America travelling through the United States en route to Canada. The number of Doukhobor passengers that arrived at each port of entry is as follows: 

Port of Arrival Passengers % of Total
Halifax 4,469 50.3
Quebec 4,257 48.1
New York 99 .98
St. Johns 43 .48
Boston 6 .06

Kalmakoff. Search this index alphabetically by ship name to learn about the physical dimensions and capacity, builders, launches, shipping lines, shipping routes and schedules, name changes, wreck and salvage data, and other information for over 67 Doukhobor immigrant ships. Also included are ship photos and links to other sites of interest.

Passenger Diaries and Memoirs

First person writings are among our best sources for understanding the immigration experience. The majority of Doukhobor immigrants to Canada, however, were illiterate and did not record their memories of these events. Fortunately, several exceptional narratives of their Atlantic crossing exist, in the form of voyage diaries, travel journals, memoirs and letters written by the Russian sympathizers who accompanied them.

The Tolstoyan educator and director Leopold A. Sulerzhitsky wrote a dramatic and inspiring diary of his voyages with the first (SS Lake Huron) and fourth (SS Lake Superior) parties of Doukhobors to Canada in 1899: see Sulerzhitsky, L.A. To America With the Doukhobors (Regina: University of Regina, 1982). As well, Sergei L. Tolstoy, Lev Tolstoy’s son, set down a detailed memoir of his voyages with the second (SS Lake Superior) and third (SS Lake Huron) parties of Doukhobors to Canada in 1899: see Donskov, Andrew (ed). Sergej Tolstoy and the Doukhobors: A Journey to Canada (Ottawa: University of Ottawa, 1998). Doukhobor sympathizer Dr. Vera M. Velichkina also published her reminisces of her voyage with the third (SS Lake Huron) party of Doukhobors in 1899: see “With the Doukhobors to Canada” in Woodsworth, John (ed). Russian Roots & Canadian Wings (Ottawa: Penumbra Press, 1999). These accounts record, in extraordinary depth, the hardships and endurances of the Doukhobor immigration to Canada, as witnessed and experienced by their authors.

Terminology and Abbreviations

  • Alien. A person who was not a British subject or a Canadian citizen.
  • Deported. See “Rejected”.
  • First Class. The most expensive passenger accommodations on a ship.
  • Landed Immigrant. A person who has been legally admitted to Canada for permanent residence.
  • Purser. Ship’s officer in charge of provisions, dispatches, accounts and compiling passenger lists. The purser compiled the passenger list during the voyage. Passengers were typically listed alphabetically, by ticket number, or in the order in which they boarded the ship. 
  • Quarantine. Originally when a ship arriving in port was suspected of being infected with an infectious disease, its cargo and crew were obliged to forego all contact with the shore for a period of several days to several weeks, depending on the disease. Following a general medical examination, ship, passenger and cargo were fumigated and disinfected. Passengers were also vaccinated. Hundreds of Doukhobor immigrants were quarantined at the Immigration Stations at Grosse Isle, Quebec and Lawlor’s Island, Nova Scotia to isolate and prevent the spread of small pox, measles and diphtheria. Several Doukhobors died in quarantine.

    Note that no general quarantine records exist separate from ship passenger lists. However, some hospitalization records exist for those passengers who were hospitalized while in quarantine. For microfilm copies of Grosse lsle Quarantine Hospital and Quebec Immigration Hospital records, see National Archives of Canada RG 29, Vol. 768, File 412-12-19. See also the Index of Doukhobors in the Grosse Isle Hospital Registers for an online index of Doukhobor passengers hospitalized while in quarantine at the Grosse Isle Quarantine Station. 

  • Rejected. Permission refused by an immigration official for an individual to enter Canada.
  • Released. Person released from quarantine, hospitalization or medical examination and permitted to enter Canada.
  • R.M.S. This abbreviation has various meanings including Royal Mail Ship, Royal Mail Steamer, Royal Merchant Ship.
  • Returning Canadianor Ret’d Canadian. A returning Canadian resident.
  • Second Class. A caliber of accommodations on a passenger ship, less roomy and elaborate than first class. Also referred to as “cabin class”.
  • Steerage. With few exceptions, the Doukhobors sailed to Canada in steerage class. The term “steerage” was synonymous with the hardships of trans-Atlantic emigration as passengers were packed into dangerous quarters and each was allotted a small berth that served as bed and storage place. It was the only class most Doukhobor emigrants could afford and was literally next to the ship’s steering equipment, below the water line.
  • S.S. Abbreviation for Steam Ship.
  • Third Class. See “Steerage”.

Notes

As several of the ships listed above made more than one voyage with Doukhobor passengers, the date of arrival in Canada or the United States (dd/mm/yy) is included above for ease of reference.

This surname index is not all-inclusive, as two ship passenger lists containing over 3,200 Doukhobor immigrants are lost or incomplete. First, the passenger list for the S.S. Lake Huron (23.01.99) was lost in Winnipeg, Manitoba by Immigration Branch officials in the early 20th century and is presumed destroyed. Second, the ship’s purser on board the S.S. Lake Superior (27.01.99) recorded only 899 of the 1,997 Doukhobor passengers.

If your family immigrated to Canada in 1899 but does not appear in the ship passenger index above, then by process of elimination, they probably sailed aboard the SS Lake Huron (23.01.99) or the SS Lake Superior (27.01.99). As indicated above, these ship passenger lists are missing or incomplete. If they immigrated from Tiflis province, Russia, they probably sailed aboard the SS Lake Huron (23.01.99). If they immigrated from Elizavetpol or Kars province, Russia, they probably sailed aboard the SS Lake Superior (27.01.99). 

The names in the ship passenger lists are the original Russian, pre-Canadianized versions of names. Furthermore, they were written down by the ship’s purser phonetically the way that they sounded. Therefore, do not expect to find your Doukhobor ancestor’s name spelled as it is today; realize that your immigrant ancestor was probably illiterate and even if he or she could read Russian, they would not be able to recognize the written name since it was written in English. With this in mind, I have used the standard spelling of each surname in this index, based on the U.S. Library of Congress System.

Guide to Doukhobor Passport & Visa Records

by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff

Passports and visas are among the often overlooked documents that we may have about our Doukhobor ancestors. An official document issued by a country to one of its citizens, the passport allows an individual to leave and return to his or her country of citizenship and facilitates travel from one country to another. A visa, by contrast, is an endorsement by the country to be visited permitting entry into that country.  The following guide describes Russian and Canadian passport and visa records used historically by Doukhobors – their background, content, usefulness and availability.

Passports in Russia

In Russia, the passport system was introduced in 1719 during the reign of Peter the Great.  Whereas in most European countries, the main task of the passport system was to ensure peace and order, in Russia the passport also served as a means to regulate tax payments, military service and other obligations to the state.  Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, both internal passports and foreign passports were issued to Russian citizens.

Internal Passports

Internal passports were issued to Russian citizens who traveled within the Empire outside of their registered place of residence.  These passports were granted for a limited period (depending on social class) and then had to be renewed.  Note that on occasion, for one reason or another, such passports would be denied to Doukhobor applicants.  Citizens were required to present their internal passports on demand to Tsarist officials.  Those found away from their registered place of residence without passports were subject to fines or imprisonment.  Restrictions on passports were eventually lifted in 1903 and the internal passport system was abandoned altogether after the Revolution.

Issued by district police officers, the internal passport included the following data: the name, patronymic and surname, occupation, age, faith, place of residence, social class and facial features of the citizen, as well as date of issue, destination, duration and purpose of travel.  Accompanying family members were listed in the same passport.  It was printed in Russian.

There is no centralized repository of internal passports in Russia.  Many of these records were lost and destroyed by war and revolution.  Those that have survived are housed in various regional and state archives.  Individual copies of internal passports issued to Doukhobors may have also survived among family papers and memorabilia in Canada.  Researchers who come across these rare records should take steps to ensure their preservation.

Foreign Passports

Foreign passports were required by citizens of Imperial Russia in order to travel abroad.  These passports were granted for a limited period of five years.  Arriving at the Russian border station or port of departure, the traveller had to present his or her passport to border officers for inspection.  If approved, the passport was stamped and returned to the traveller.  However, if the passport was not in order, it was not stamped and the traveller had no chance to pass across the frontier.  

Note that the 7,500 Doukhobors who emigrated from Russia in 1899 were issued foreign passports but not permitted to keep them. They were confiscated prior to their departure. This was because the Doukhobors were permitted to leave Russia only on the condition that they never return. However, the 1,160 Doukhobors who emigrated from Russia after 1899 were issued foreign passports and permitted to retain them like other Russian citizens. 

Russian foreign passport No. 5026 issued to Ivan Evseyevich Konkin & family on July 24, 1904.
National Archives of Canada, M-7670.

Issued by local governors, the foreign passport included the following data: the name, patronymic and surname, occupation, age, faith, place of residence, information about the family, facial features and photo (sometimes) of the citizen, as well as date of issue, destination and purpose of travel.  The passport stamp also indicated the date of inspection as well as the border station or port of departure.  Accompanying family members were listed in the same passport.  It was printed in Russian.

There is no centralized repository of foreign passports in Russia.  As with internal passports, many foreign passports were lost and destroyed by wars and revolution.  Those that have survived are housed in various regional and state archives. 

Some foreign passports were collected by Russian consuls in Canada.  The Likacheff-Ragosine-Mathers (LI-RA-MA) Collection at the National Archives of Canada consists of documents created by the Imperial Russian Consular offices in Canada during the period from 1898 to 1922.  The Passport/Identity Papers series consists of 11,400 files on immigrants from the Russian Empire who settled in Canada.  The files include documents such as passport applications and background questionnaires.  However, only ten of these files relate to Doukhobor immigrants.  See the Index of Doukhobors in the LI-RA-MA Collection for a listing of individual files.  

Prior to 1923, it was unnecessary for immigrants to possess a valid passport in order to gain entry into Canada.  Regardless, those immigrants who had passports issued in their homelands kept them; they were not required to surrender them to the Government of Canada.  Consequently, copies of Russian foreign passports issued to Doukhobors (who emigrated after 1899) may have survived among family papers and memorabilia in Canada.  Researchers who come across these rare records should take steps to ensure their preservation.

Passports in Canada

Since 1862, the Government of Canada has issued passports to Canadian citizens for travel to a foreign country.  Early passports were issued as single-sheet certificates with the official seal.  In 1915, Canada switched to the British form of passport, a ten-section single sheet folder printed in English only.  Then, in 1920, Canada adopted a booklet-type passport.  Since 1926, Canadian passports have been printed bilingual.  Until 1947, two kinds of passports were issued in Canada, one for British-born citizens and one for naturalized citizens.  That same year, the Canadian Citizenship Act, which stipulates that only Canadian citizens are eligible for a Canadian passport, came into effect.  Canadian passports are valid for five years.

Issued from 1862 to 1947 by the Governor General, and since 1947 by the Minister of External Affairs, the Canadian passport includes the following data: the name and surname, date of birth, place of birth, place of residence, physical description, photo, occupation (sometimes), nationality, date of naturalization and photo of the citizen, as well as date of issue and expiry. 

There is no centralized repository of Canadian passports.  The Government of Canada did not keep copies of passport applications nor passports issued to its citizens.  Individual copies may be found among family papers and memorabilia.

Note: a special collection of passports for Doukhobor leader Peter “Chistiakov” Verigin from 1934 to 1936 and a delegation of Doukhobors to Russia in 1931 is housed at the National Archives of Canada (RG25, External Affairs, Volume 1580, File 1931-1935).

Visas

Many countries require possession of a valid visa as a condition of entry for foreigners.  A visa is a formal endorsement by the government of a country giving a certain individual permission to enter the country for a given period of time and for certain purposes.  Visas are typically stamped or attached into the recipient’s passport. 

Since 1923, immigrants have had to secure a Canadian visa in order to gain entry into Canada.  Prior to that time, a visa was unnecessary.  It follows that most Doukhobors did not require a visa when they immigrated to Canada, having done so prior to 1923.  However, they may have required a foreign visa if they subsequently travelled abroad from Canada. 

The need or absence of need of a visa generally depends on the citizenship of the applicant, the intended duration of the stay, and the activities that the applicant may wish to undertake in the country he or she visits; these may delineate different formal categories of visas, with different issuance conditions.  Examples of different visas include: transit visas, tourist visas, business visas, student visas, research visas, diplomatic visas, journalist visas and work visas.

Depending on the issuing country, a visa typically includes the following data: the name and surname, date of birth, place of birth, place of residence, occupation, nationality, photo and personal references of the traveller, as well as the date of issue, destination, length and purpose of travel.  Accompanying family members are often listed.  It is printed in the official language of the issuing country.

Notes

Passports and visas are, of course, sources of limited value.  They are of use only if your Doukhobor ancestor travelled abroad and was required to secure them.  Those that still exist may be difficult to locate.  Nevertheless, where they are found among personal records, they can be an excellent source of information for genealogists.  The researcher should never assume that a Doukhobor ancestor did not require these documents.

As a source for anything other than the traveling done on that passport or visa, passports and visas are generally considered a secondary source rather than a primary source of genealogical information.  Nevertheless, this does not negate the information one might find in these documents.  The information contained in these documents should be cross-referenced with other sources to ensure their accuracy.

Doukhobor Documents Discovered in Former Soviet Archives

For Immediate Release – September 27, 2004

A Canadian Doukhobor researcher has discovered a wealth of records in the archives of the former Soviet republics that shed new light on the early history of Doukhobor families. Soon he will be opening them to the wider world.

Over the past three years, nearly 3,000 documents relating to Doukhobors in Russia in the nineteenth century have been discovered at the Russian State Historical Archive, Kherson Region State Archives, Odessa Region State Archives, Central State Historical Archive of Georgia, and the National Archives of Armenia. The records were located in a massive search commissioned by Regina-based researcher and genealogist, Jonathan J. Kalmakoff.

The Tsarist-era documents range from letters and petitions to registers of entire Doukhobor villages and include: lists of Doukhobors living in the Caucasus in the 1850’s, 1870’s and 1880’s; lists of Doukhobors exiled to the Caucasus in the 1830’s and 1840’s; lists of Doukhobors living in the Molochnaya region in the 1840’s and earlier; and much more.

Once the exclusive domain of a handful of Soviet academics, the records had never been systematically examined by Canadian researchers until last year when Kalmakoff began the daunting task of studying and translating every document, which is handwritten in Old Russian script. Taken together, they comprise the most extensive collection of documents concerning Doukhobor family history in the world. Kalmakoff has not yet completed the exhaustive search and believes more records remain to be found.

Kalmakoff says of the discovery, “Canadian Doukhobors, no doubt, will be astonished and fascinated that so many records have come to light about our ancestors, who kept so few written records of their own. These records contribute enormously to our understanding of our past and allow most Doukhobor families to trace their history back to the eighteenth century and beyond. It is possibly the most important development in the field of Doukhobor genealogy of all time.”

In the interests of making these historically important documents accessible to Doukhobors in Canada, Kalmakoff announced today the launch of a series of books featuring English translations of the records. The first title in this series, 1853 Tax List of Doukhobors in the Caucasus, will be released in November 2004. In addition, Kalmakoff is establishing a special collection at the Saskatchewan Archives Board to make the original Russian copies of the records available to the public.
