I was in the same boat. And Google wasn't getting me anywhere. It was that wonderful librarian -- Donna Doucette, Library Assistant VIII, Centre for Newfoundland Studies, QEII Library, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador -- who pointed me to info available in digital archives.
"Because they weren’t migrants in the sense of willing emigrants or immigrants, seeking fortune, escape, or adventure.
