[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Rattai Family

[Carol M]

I am trying to trace my mother's side of the family to Poland. The
information I have is that my  Great, Great Grandparents were Gottlieb
Rattai 1836-1922 and his wife Louise Bohlman. 
 Their son Peter Rattai and wife Rosalie Borau came to Canada some time in
the late 1800s or very early 1900s. They had 7 children. Emilie, Gottlieb,
Gustave, Phillip, Natalie and Adolph.

My Grandmother was Emilie who married Fred Kriese. 

 I am interested in finding out where in Poland the family originated.  What
year they came to Canada, on what ship and what port they landed at?.  Are
they of Jewish heritage?  Are there any cousins or offspring of any of the
mentioned children living in Canada who might be interested in communicating
with me.?
