Chris,
 
Do you have approximate birth dates for these people.  When did they arrive in Canada?

Hello All!

I have not posted here in a long time. Greetings to all! I have not forgotten you or the mission....just so busy!

If anyone has any information on the family of Gustav Menke, Christoph Menke (married to Emilie Brandt) or Johann Manke (same family, spelled both ways), from the Alexandria / Tutschin / Rowno area of Volhynia - I would appreciate it. 

I have a lot of information from the time they arrived in Winnipeg, and then Neche, North Dakota, but looking for more from when they were in Russia (Ukraine). 

Chris Menke
