| In a passenger list transcription, the source is noted as "NAC C-4521 list." What is the meaning of this? I assume the list has come from somewhere, but I need more details to properly record the source. |

NAC is the National Archives of Canada
So the source should be a passenger list from those records, probably entering America at Quebec.

The correct record of the source should be the site where you found the transcription: www.norwayheritage.com. The transcribed list is your source, as long as you have not used the original source. You can never know 100% if a transcription is whit out errors. The source of the transcription is noted as "NAC C-4521, which is:
National Archives of Canada (NAC)
Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 (RG 76): PASSENGER LISTS: QUEBEC 1865 - 1921 (includes Montreal)
Microfilm Reel Number C-4521

Borge,
It is interesting that you replied as you were the one that transcribed the list in 2002! Are these passengerlist list microfilms available via inter-library loan sent to the United States? |

| Enthralled! I had't met anyone else that is as dedicated to source citation formats as I am. So glad to know that my obsession isn't unique. Borge, I'm still applauding!! |

Good point! I have always thought that 10 people could transcribe the same list and it would come out differently, most of them are hard to read, written in old 19th century script with many different styles of handwriting.
