I know this is a very old post but I am doing my family tree and am looking for any information I can get. Frank and Mag Crowther were my grandmothers sister and brother in law. My grandma is Edvena Stock (née Chapman) and her son is my dad, William (bill, billy) Stock.

I am looking for any information that can be given to me about my family!

Hello Shelia

We a law office working on a file concerning a Mary (Proceshyn ) Polanik. I think she is the granddaughter of Wasyl Procyshyn and possibly the daughter of Peter Procyshyn. What I am trying to do is to confirm if this is her father and if she had any siblings?

Does anyone know of this person. She was born near Stene, Saskatchewan in 1914. She married a Metro Polanik from Hyas, Saskatchewan. I am looking for any relations who can help or know of any family members.

Coleman Crooked Creek

JimChurch81 — 2013-04-30 20:17:19Z

Anyone in the Crooked Creek area that can do a lookup somewhere? I am looking for a Gregory Coleman and Julia Roth who had a son Joihn Coleman born abt 1900. John married Marjorie Winnifred Ryder in Oct 1925 and had two children Florence and Harold born at Crooked Creek between 1928 and 1931 and then walked away from the family never to be seen again. Looking for information on John, did he marry again, die or what exactly happened to him. I think Crooked Creek is in the Whitewood area. Are there any History Books of the aea that might mention the family?

I found a Michael Klein, born 1870,in the 1911 census for Battleford. It shows him married to Elizabeth and original documents say he came to Canada in 1907 from Germany. http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html Butch

Re: Grayson Sask. Families

geo_klein — 2013-04-28 17:00:13Z

Hello all,

my name is Georg Klein, i live in Germany. Maybe there a relatives of mine in Grayson/Yorkton/Regina?
I have a few uncertain details about my grandfather Michael Klein born in Molodia/Bukowina. My grandfather emigrated to Canada sometime after 1900 and has his whole family left behind in the Bukovina. My grandmother's first name was Appolonia. They had three sons, Georg, Josef and Anton. After immigrating to Canada, he married again and died around 1950. His third son Anton, born in Bukovina / Molodia? remaining after the WW II in Bukowina.
My father Georg and my uncle Josef were expelled in 1940 by the Russians from their homeland. They moved with their families and my grandmother Appolonia to Germany. Is there possibly a connection to the Klein's in your country?
I would be happy to hear from somebody.

Greetings from Germany send Georg

Hi,

I am also looking for information on Kormos family who immigrated from Csorna, Sopron, Hungary to Otthon.
My husband's mother is Barbara Kormos, daughter of Frank Kormos and Juliana Plosz. Both are deceased in Yorkton.

From my research I found the information that Frank (Ferenc) Kormos is son of Istvan Kormos and Barbara Boda and they arrived in Canada in 1900.

Please contact me if you have more information.

Re: frederick george preston 1888

Re: frederick george preston 1888

sandragrinham — 2013-04-22 14:59:46Z

Unfortunately I do not know, as I lost track of F.G.Preston when he emigrated in 1908 from UK. I think I can only find out if it is the same person if I could trace his marriage which we think was 1912 and hopefully his fathers name would be shown. Thanks for quick response.

Re: frederick george preston 1888

japeterson158 — 2013-04-20 23:53:07Z

Re: frederick george preston 1888

A quick question- is Frederick George Preston the father of Fred Preston, who was a pharmacist in Yorkton for many years?

frederick george preston 1888

sandragrinham — 2013-04-19 16:26:43Z

Emigrated to Canada 1908 born Hampshire England was a journeyman butcher in England and also registered as one on immigration documents. Apparently went to work on Farm.

Would appreciate any help tracing him.

rwf_TO — 2013-04-11 23:58:01Z

Hi Sheila and Jason,

I think that the names from the Gorlitz cemetery are consistent with the information that Jason is researching. If they are the same family, that was a great find, Sheila!

I recall the surname "Chornomud" from the research I have been doing on my Ukrainian Bukovynian families. Out of curiosity, I just searched the church records from my own ancestral village of Doroshivtsi, and found the following:

1) birth record from 1851 for Nikolai (Sr.)
2) birth record from 1852 for Anna
3) marriage record from 1874 for Nikolai and Anna
4) birth record from 1889 for Nikolai (Jr.)

I suspect that the church record information I found probably is that of the Chornomud family in the Gorlitz cemetery. Also bear in mind that many families who settled in the Gorlitz area are from Doroshivtsi.

The challenges are twofold: 1) find evidence (passenger list, naturalization record, etc.) that Nikolai Chornomud and family were from Doroshivtsi; and 2) link that family to the Chornomud's of Jason research.

I'm confident you'll be able to locate that evidence!

Regards,

Richard

sstanger1 — 2013-04-11 19:28:35Z

Hi Jason

Cpmtact the Provincial Archive: -they may have some Citizenship/Naturalization info available. perhaps they will search:

The following may at least have an index card - with some info. re date of arrival -passenger ship.
Naturalization/Citizenship info at the following;

See
Research in Other Institutions
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-908.011-e.h...

Citizenship and Immigration Canada holds records of naturalization and citizenship from 1854 to the present. The originals of records dated between 1854 and 1917 have been destroyed.

However, a card index by name has survived, which provides information compiled at the time of naturalization, such as:
•present and former place of residence;
•former nationality;
•occupation;
•date of certification; and
•name and location of the responsible court.

Re: Petro Procyshyn , Axcana Gabora

SheilaBunka — 2013-04-11 14:55:38Z

Jason,
I have a feeling that we may be looking for the same group of people. Having said that I looked at the 1906 census and it said a 1902 arrival. I stuck Nick Chornomud on the search thing on ancestry and it said for immigration that he arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Still haven't found the ships name was looking at the Armenia as a possible ship but came up empty on that front. I also found a Nick Chornomud Regiment
# 19385, 2542328 Ref RG 150 Accession 1992-93/166, Box 1692-51 on the collectioncanada.gc.ca website. Hope this helps will continue looking some more.

Re: Petro Procyshyn , Axcana Gabora

SheilaBunka — 2013-04-10 13:15:37Z

Jason,
No problem I came across a website www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cansacem/gorlitz2.html in which there are these names listed

Chornomud, Anna
Chornomud, Nickolay 1851-1924
Chornomud, Nicholi 1890- 28 Oct 1957
Chornomud, Wasilka D 1 Dec 1909 Age 20
Chornomud, Unkn

I will see what I can find with wht you have given to me

Re: Petro Procyshyn , Axcana Gabora CHORNOMUD

sstanger1 — 2013-04-10 00:06:47Z

Hi, You know that the family arrived aprox 1902/1903

NATURALIZATION:. May show - Name of applicant.
Address - age /date of birth. Names of parents including maiden name of the mother
Port and Date of Departure - Port and Date of Arrival.
Name of Passenger Ship.

Note that names on Census records - are often misspelled by enumerator. They wrote what they thought they heard.
no cross checking with the individuals.
Chornomud
spelled Charnimood in 1911 and Corsymud in 1906.
Sometimes one needs to be very creative

Have you found the family in the 1916 Census?.

In the early 1940's we had the National Registration of All Canadians over the age of 16 years.
This information is available

Re: Petro Procyshyn , Axcana Gabora

chort69 — 2013-04-09 22:33:45Z

Hello. Andd thank you. I have found information on the census, but have not been able to find anything on the port, ship name, or month. Only a year of arrival. I also have found info on the homesteads, so hopefully when I get those copies, it will give me more information. I thought I would see if anyone had any other information while I waited for the copies to arrive. The names on the census are Nicolay, Anitza, Wasilina and the last name is spelled Charnimood in 1911 and Corsymud in 1906.

Thank you for any and all help.

Jason

Re: Petro Procyshyn , Axcana Gabora

chort69 — 2013-04-09 22:27:43Z

Hello, and thank you for the reply. I have found some information on the 1906 and 1911 census. What I am trying to find is info on their arrival. The year I do have is 1902, but that is all. unfortunately, there are no name searches you can do on that year of arrival. I do not have the month, ship name or port, so I'm not sure how to proceed. The names I have are, Nicolay Charnimood, Anitza, Nicolay, Wasilina, and Anitza again. Those are two families. From the Mackenzie district in Saskatchewan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jason

Re: Petro Procyshyn , Axcana Gabora

I don't have too much information on the Chornomud, other than Lena's family. I will look into it if you would like. Do you have any names that would help in starting the research?
Sheila

Re: Petro Procyshyn , Axcana Gabora

sstanger1 — 2013-04-07 23:06:48Z

Hi Jason, Is CHORNOMUD the family surname?

Posting GIVEN NAMES for family - can be very helpful.
What are the names of the family members that came to Canada in 1903.

Have you searched 1906,1911, 1916 Census for the family.

Family may have made application for

NATURALIZATION /Citizenship - have you searched ?
May show : Name Place of Birth - age or birthdate
Names of parents including maiden name of the mother - place of birth of parents Occupation
Date and Port of Departure - Date and Port of Arrival
Name of Passenger ship.

Did the Family farm? - Have you searched for Land Records.
Family may have submitted family history/stories to a Local History Book Project - Book/s may have been digitalized - to be read online - see Our Roots/Nos Racines.

Is your quest connected to the Original posting re Petro PROCYSHYN and Axana GABORA?

Hello. My name is Jason and I am working on my wife's family tree right now. Her mothers side of the family is from the Gorlitz area as well. I was searching for "Chornomud" and found your post. I was wondering if I could look at some of the copies of your documents. I have very little information on that side of the family. All I know is that they came to Canada in 1903, and settled in Gorlitz. Month of arrival, port, and that type of information I do not have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Will show the names of Bride and Groom - also names of both sets of Parents - including maiden name of the Mothers - Place of birth of the parents etc.

You know that Nicholas HEWITT ? was born in 1920, In Sask?
Did the entire family move to Ontario - of only Nicholas?

Hi Sheila,

Sent you email at the address you provided, but it was rejected - "mailbox unavailable".

I'm out of town for the Easter break, so I'll start getting all of the information ready for you next week. Will be in touch again when completed.

At this point, it appears that you and I have at least two ancestors in common: Petro's mother (Maria Butuk, daughter of Ivan Butuk) and Axcana's father (Nikifor Gabora, son of Vasyl Gabora). It's likely that you and I are distant 4th/5th cousins.

In the meantime, if you have any specific questions about these families or Doroshivtsi, feel free to post them and I'll do my best to answer.

Cheers!
