From infomation I have my grandfather John Basaraba arrived at the age of 14 from Chortovets ( also possibly spelt Czovtowce) Galicia Ukraine. He arrived with his parents in 1897. The father`s name was Stefan but I am not sure of his mother`s name and would also want to know if there were any other siblings. After arriving to Canada the family settled near Gimli Manitoba ( possibly Komarno Manitoba).

I am not positive, but this Ivan calls himself John later in life...so may have been Jan Ivan? The father is listed as Syman, however...Was he married to Catharina LUPYCHUK?

There was a son Stephan born to Fedora MUSZENZKA in Gimli, 1904! She was two decades or more Syman's junior...

Here they are in 1906 keeping up with the son having more children! My grandparents were having children alongside their parents from Bukowina as well...! Prolific bunch.

Finally found a marriage that may fit... in Feb. 21 1903 Gimli - for Iwan BASSARABA and Katharina LUPYCZUK
a late registration for Anne 1906 has them in the R.M. OF KREUZBURG
Nicola / Nykola Basaraba took over SE 35 township 49 range 23 -W2 after the death of Seman Basaraba
he also owned lands in twnshp 50 & 51 nearby http://www.saskhomesteads.com
They are in Sask. now?

Hey there,
Don't know if this helps but there is a Peter Basaraba deceased in Sept 2011 parents Harry and Petronellia born in Pine River, MB (Not sure where that is :) )
There is a Olenska Basaraba here:
http://www.ourroots.ca/page.aspx?id=545076&qryID=9fff6bdb-5bda-4295-a371-aeb30d64ce41
There are 9 Basaraba obituaries in total listed in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix...oldest one is a Frederick died in 1965...
Makes me wonder...

Yes, I wondered if it was just similar names, and it could well be, I just haven't found the parents or other siblings of his in 1911 yet...Perhaps someone can find them in 1916
There is another marriage in KREUZBURG...Nicholas BASARAB to Anna KUZ Oct 12/1918
One in Mossey River Demitro BASARABA to Maria MOMOTIUK Feb.6/1921
( also a death of a Pariaska BASSARABA Dec. 24 1929 age 47 in Mossey River but doesn't match Symon's daughter)
Semen is also showing on land grant records as NW 2 township 29 range 21 -W1 but that is near Dauphin and there were other Basaraba there, and would Symon have moved North at his age??
Here are Manitoba Western land grants for several with the names of siblings but again, looks to be the Dauphin bunch...all except for your man, John Lloyd Basuraba

There is a death for a Sam ASARABA oct.16 1930 in Ethelbert age 84...so perhaps he did move further North after all as I saw no forenames close to Sam/Symon of his age in the 1901 1906...( one a little younger in Marqette) Perhaps someone will spot the family in 1916 and solve their whereabouts post 1906...His land description numbers match Rural Municipality of Ethelbert!
Township 31 in ranges 18, 19 west of the first meridian and Winnipegosis, Municipality of Massey River
Townships 29, 30 in ranges 19, 20 west of the first meridian and Hamlet Fork River
Townships 29, 30 in ranges 21, 22, 23 west of the first meridian and Ethelbert Village
Township 28 in ranges 21, 22, 23 west of the first meridian, Rural Municipality of Ethelbert

thank you fo the help. I will respond again after I take in the results you found.

Just found out that KREUZBURG is now called Fraserwood, so near Komarno / both near Gimli.
Ethelbert is Northwest of Dauphin...

Besides Annie, it looks like there are late birth registrations with this mother for a Mary, Jessie, and Polly.
You can check for yourself with this index to the Manitoba Vital Statistics. You can also check for marriages and deaths. I just put in the last name .... I didn't look a every birth so there may be others.

BTW, MB is the abbreviation for Manitoba :)

Paroska BASSARAB born 1900 to Fedora MUSINSKI ( In other words, also use the "sounds like" feature on the site) ;D

at the automated genealogy site if you put in the surname and then look at alternate spellings and click on them, then merge, it will bring up several names with similar spelling. There is a Parasko and Paraska, one in Gimli and the other in Gilbert Plains. There are also a Simon, Stefan, Symon. You can also check for names that could be mispelled by clicking on Selkirk and then on the starting letter of the surname and look for all the spellings in that way. It can be time consuming but it is important to realize that the enumerators often spelled names as they sounded as many immigrants didn't speak or write English. I have friends from both Gimli and Gilbert Plains and it was not unusual for younger immigrants to change to more common first names. As far as I know Gimli still celebrates its Ukrainian culture so contacting the local library may be something to consider.
