[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Hennig / Karras from Volhynia to Canada

[Rose Ingram]

Kristen,

I and a few others on this list have been corresponding with a fellow in Brazil, who I believe is a descendant of Julius Hening, brother to Rudolf.

Could you please give some birth dates and places for the people you mention?

  Greetings.

  I am searching for information on the predecessors (ancestry) and 
  relatives of Henry (Heinrich) Hennig and Emilie (Karras) Hennig, who
  emigrated from Volhynia, Poland, Heinrich in 1893 and his wife in 
  1895, to Quebec via Liverpool and then to Winnipeg, Gretna and 
  Emerson,(Ridgeville) Manitoba, Canada.  We assume Heinrich was born 
  about 1855 somewhere in Brandenburg/Prussia. He and Emilie were 
  married in 1880.  Emilie (Karras) Hennig was born in Magdeburg, 
  Germany.  Heinrich (Henry) became a professional soldier, serving as 
  a canonnoneer in the Prussian army and settling in Volhynia, Poland. 
  Possible ancestor of Henry (Heinrich) was Carl
  Hennig, possibly a German nobleman. Wife of German nobleman, Carl, 
  was a Dabbert (spelled?).  Heinrich Hennig had two brothers, Carl 
  Ferdinand, whose sons emigrated to Brazil,and Leopold Hennig.  Carl 
  Ferdinand died about 1908 in Germany.  Carl Ferdinand used many 
  different name spellings, including "Carl", "Karl" and "Carlos."

  Heinrich left Poland in 1893 with his oldest son, Rudolph.  His wife 
  Emilie followed a few years later with the other six children.  The 
  Hennigs settled in Canada.  Their children were:

  Rudolph Hennig, b.1883.
  Julianna Hennig Keil (KYLE), b. 1885
  William Hennig, b.1888
  Emily Hennig Walter b.?
  Mathilde Woite, married to Edward Woite of Mossbank, Sask, Canada
  Hulda Hennig Neuman, b.?
  Gustave Hennig, b.1895
  Julius Hennig, b. ?
  Helena Hennig Kreitz, b.?  lived near Emerson, Manitoba, Canada
  Emma Hennig Singbeil (Albert), Mossbank, Sask. Canada
  Anna Hennig
  3 children died in Poland--Augusta Mary,Helen and Bertha

  Any information you or anyone else might have on the earlier 
  ancestors of the above mentioned persons would be treasured by my 
  family, as my mother is now in her nineties and there are many 
  unanswered questions about the family
  history.

  P.S.  My grandfather, William Hennig, had a first cousin by the name 
  of Karras who wrote a book about hunting and trapping in Canada in 
  the 1930s. It was called North to Cree Lake.

  Sincerely,

  Kristen Bode Brantley
