I'm risking boring many of you but I am posting family again.
Primary family:
August Schuman b. 17 Jan 1858 supposedly in Deutsche Krone West Prussia
Auguste Freiman b. 16 Sept 1864 supposedly in East Prussia
The three verified records that I have are:
Auguste Pauline Schumann: (not in family memory) b. 13
Dec 1882 in Boguslowka to August Schumann, mother Auguste Freimann(film
1895614/3 547 109) godparents Wilhelm Drager and Bertha (Schumann)
Freymann... baptised in Boguslawka prayer house.
Fredrich Wilhelm Schumann born: 18 Dec 1885, Boguslawka
(1897692/1 376 1594 ) a younger sister remembered him dying of "black
diphtheria as well as three other children.
Schuhmann, Mathilde 15 Sep 1881 August
Auguste 1897594/1 384 1370 Rogoslawka ( think this was meant to be
Boguslawka also)
supposedly there was also a Karl and a Bertha A. as children
Emma Wilhelmina Schumann b 9 Mar 1888 Canadian records
list birth as Wolhynia, Shittomir
Ida Schumann b. 12 Dec 1889
Gustav Schumann b. 14 May 1889
Minna Helena Schumann b 30 Oct 1893 (family lore says
she was born in Eichfier, West Prussia.) Minnie tested positive for TB
and had one missing lung.
The four youngest children were brought to Canada by grandmother,
Caroline (Weinert) Freimann after the last parent, mother, died in 1902.
Caroline brought them to Westaskiwin, Alberta where two of her sons,
Friedrich Freimann and Karl Freimann were already living. Emma married
Gottlieb Jobs in Canada (I believe he is Jabs on the Volhynian records),
Ida married Blake Johnston, Gustave died in Mar 1909, Emmaus Lutheran
Church, Brightview Cemetery, Wetaskiwin. Other families associated by
marriage with this family are Woitt, Warnke, Draeger, Grahn, Graeffen,
Grabowsky, Haas, Fee, Westendorf
I'd appreciate any further information that anyone has on this
family. Beond the 3 birth records, I have no concrete information on the
family before they came to Canada on the steamship S.S. Lake Champlain
which sailed from Liverpool 28 October and arrived 7 November 1902. The
ship was only 1/2 full and they were the only German passengers.
