Arthur Domes wrote: "Ferdinand Greger and his younger brother Lew 
(Ludwig) came to work on my Dad's farm at Verwood.    Ferdinand had been 
shot through the throat in the war and as a result he could only talk in 
a loud whisper. It wasn't long that he acquired the nick name in the 
district as "Whispering Ferdie."  After leaving my dad's farm he 
acquired a wife and some land north of Assiniboia, Sk. and became a 
fairly successful farmer. I know he had children. Lew Greger left the 
community not to be heard of again."

 From the 1925 passenger list Ferdinand's nearest relative in Poland was:
*Brother:* *    Ludwik Greger,     Kol Tuczyn,     District Rovne,     
Wolhyn,     Poland.*

The images for the 1926 passenger list are too faint to be legible .

Does anybody out there know where they may have lived in Canada.  All 
clues Welcome.

Yours truly,

Jack Milner
