Notes

  1. The dates on the card have been altered at some time, but on the back of the card is a medical certificate which is clearly dated 12-9-23.

  2. The back of the card indicates that he was rejected on quota.

  3. Oak Point, Man. is probably a small town on Lake Winnipeg. See Google Map

  4. SS Regina is probably the Dominion Line ship of that name.

    She sailed from Liverpool 17 February 1923 and arrived in New York on 1 March 1923, after having visited Queenstown (18/21923) and Bermuda (27/2/1923). Joseph Bye is not on the New York passenger list. It is not clear whether she then went to Quebec.
