Hello,

It seems that many emigrants took the route via Liepaya (which in those
days was called Libava in Russian and Libau in German).  My
great-grandmother travelled that way with her four children in 1904, and
many others did the same. There was even a special train station in
Liepaya for the emigrants.

The specific journey from there to the destination in Canada could be
paid for as a package, as you can see from the following site:
