How to find family on passenger lists?

[jorose]

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/passenger/001045-100.01-e.php
 - search the lists here - I usually just put in the ship name and year.

The two women you mention - looks like mother and child - are towards the end of the list (page 33 on LAC), under "Supplementary" with some others (might just mean they were accidentally left off when the list was originally being compiled and added on the end). They were heading to Winnipeg.

It's possible the mother/sisters followed on a later ship. Have you been able to track this family on the 1911/1916 censuses?

ETA: is the Valclav Salaba who died in 1914 a relative? His estate record is on familysearch and it says he was from "Punnichi". His wife was Anna.

[S1233]

There was a "V Salaba" on the 1911 census who lived on the same piece of land that James lived on, so it must be him. He was on the last line of the page and it listed him as married (though his wife and children are not listed), born in 1884 and came to Canada in 1904. I also have them and their family on the 1916 census, which didn't provide any information about their parents, siblings, etc.

Vaclav and James's homesteads were six kilometres apart. In the information I have about Vaclav, his name varies: James Salaba Snr. (which means that he had a son named James), Vachia, Vaclav, Vaslen, and Vaslev. I have not found Vaclav or his family on a census.

As for the link on the family search site, thank you so much! I actually do have a bit of information on his homestead and what happened to it after he passed away, but this names his family members. It looks like the James I was seeking information about wasn't his son...

On pages 10 and 16, it lists his wife as Anna Salaba (she remarried shortly after), a 48-year-old son named Jim, and six daughters whose ages range from 45 to what looks like 19. James was only about 33 in 1914.

The confusing thing about Vaclav and James is that they lived so close together and both knew the same neighbour, who lived north of James and southeast of Vaclav. I know that Vaclav was born in Russia, year unknown, and in 1911, listed five members in his family: a 55 year old man, a 49 year old woman, and three girls, aged 20, 18, and 16.

I don't know what to think anymore.

Interesting! Thank you. Those names aren't familiar to me, but I wonder if Johene is the same person in the "Treasury of Memories" local history book from the Kolin, Saskatchewan area. Kolin was formed when Bohemians settled in the area.

I found a "Joh. Salaba," along with a Sophia Yecny, from the SaskGenealogy Saskatchewan Resident Index search. "Joh." is the only Salaba on the list who I don't know about.

I have also tried searching for Mary Anne's family. Her maiden name was Slawik. The spelling varies depending on source. She was born in or around 1882 possibly in Poland.

[S1233]

Pages 20 and 24 of that file on Vaclav mentions a "proposed sureity," Stanley Yecny of Esterhazy, which is near Kolin, where a Joh. Salaba and Sophia Yecny lived. 

edit: Just searched the OurRoots.ca website...

page 169 of "The History of Atwater, Saskatchewan" says that a Joe Knezacek married Sophia Yecny. She passed away in 1912 or 1913. He then married a Johanna Salaba and they farmed in the Atwater, Saskatchewan district. When he passed away in 1937, Johanna remarried and passed away in Stocholm, Saskatchewan in 1949.

Interestingly, Vaclav's youngest daughter was named Jennie Knezacek. Not sure how she got her last name. Joseph Knezacek of Atwater is mentioned on page 20 of Vaclav's file and on 23 as a "proposed sureity."

Hello S1233,
I would be very interested in what you have found here. I believe that Johanna(Johene) is my mother in laws grand mother. I am very interested in where she is from and the relationship to Anna and Stasyja. I found in the national archives from the uk the original document that had her Anna and Stasyje boarding the Albania.

Hi Jim, my old account was S1233 but I forgot the password... I am still trying to learn more about Johanna, Anna, and their family. Please let me know how I can get in contact with you so we can trade what information we have about the family. Thanks.
