Papers and Correspondence : Index and Transcripts.

            The National Archives of Canada has prepared a nominal index to the four volumes of Haldimand transcripts which contain a wealth of information on Loyalist regiments and the settlement of Loyalist refugees. Both the index and the transcript volumes have been microfilmed on one reel. Included are a great many personal names contained in regimental muster rolls; subsistence lists; lists of prisoners;  lists of women and children belonging to various provincial corps; pay rolls;  returns of refugee Loyalists; lists of settlers who applied to go to a particular area, or who have been assigned a settlement location; returns of officers and men who served in a particular campaign; lists of casualties; lists of pensioners; returns of refugees and disbanded troops lodged and victualed in various locations and townships; lists of artificers; and many other petitions, lists, states and returns.            

Volumes with the same content can be found in the microfilm reels of the original Haldimand manuscripts, which are shelved in the Loyalist Collection at MIC-Loyalist FC LMR .H3F7P3. Researchers should consult Additional Manuscripts: 21,765 on Reel 46; 21,826 and 21,827 on Reel 84; and 21,828 on Reel 85.
