When Did You Get Here?

I do my research from a number of different computers and workstations, so I decided to write down some notes for myself to have on hand at all times. The first list I wanted to come up with was an Ancestor's Arrival list. I'm not sure how this note will help me going forward, but I feel like I'm always looking for these dates as I try and make connections and solidify facts. Here is what the list looks like:

Nicholas Joseph Deschamps, arrived in Nova Scotia before 1730
Paul Desmarais, arrived in Quebec before 1681

Ellen Moynihan, arrived 1881
