[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] TOM from Lublin Poland coming from Canada

[Jack Milner]

The link can be viewed and shows an image of a Tourist Card for a 30 day 
visit to Brazil, issued by Ottawa, to Adolf Tom.  Curiousity made me 
check various Canadian immigration sources.  One of interest:  
Ancestry.ca has an Adolf Tomm arriving in Canada in 1923.  His passage 
wass paid for by his father and  his closest relative in Poland was his 
grandfather. An Adolf Tom is buried in Edmonton (death1972).  That is an 
interesting find.  If this is the person of interest, he was a tourist 
to Brazil and returned to Canada.  To make sense, St. Edmonton should 
read as the full address of his residence: 9858 - 87 Street, Edmonton, 
Alberta, Canada.
