[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] RE: Immigrants to Manitoba

[Dmarkaz at aol.com]

I noticed that many of the people from the list have ancestors who came to 
Manitoba.  Does anyone know if their was a specific reason?  Did Manitoba 
advertize in some manner in this region?  If so, what areas were targeted?   
I had heard that some Canadian Provinces had advertized land  in order to get 
people to populate Western Canada.  The greatest amount of immigrants seemed 
to come between 1908-1914.  Thanks in advance.
