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
