Talk:Grosse Isle

Famine refugees
I haven't changed this back, but am not in agreement with Damac's alteration of 'famine victims' to 'Irish immigrants'. There can be no doubt whatsoever from a historical perspective that the immigrants of the time were fleeing the famine. Can't we revert this back to 'famine refugees'? 82.28.247.93 21:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

NAME
HI;

I'm looking at the main page of this article, Grosse Isle, Quebec at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grosse_Isle,_Quebec and I am a little confused.

At the beginning of the article, there is a statement "Not to be confused with Grosse-Île, Quebec, a municipality of the Magdalen Islands". However, there is a reference in the Box on the right, to NATIVE NAME Grosse Île. And the Canadian National Historic Sites also lists this as Grosse Île. The location is in the St Lawrence River where the Immigrants to Canada were quarantined between 1837 & 1937.

So why is the island named "Grosse Isle" in this article and explicitly differentiated from "Grosse Île" in the" Îles de la Madeleine"? It appears that according to the Canadian government, the name of both islands is IDENTICAL.

Regards,
