[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Re: Emigration to or through Canada ? for Ger-Poland-Volhynia Digest, Vol 20, Issue 16

Tricia,

Have you exhausted all USA sources before you try to make the jump to 
Europe.  For instance, there is an Ernst Barz of the correct age living in 
Illinois in 1900 with wife Bertha, and children Allma, Haddy and 
Floreda.  Are those yours?  If they are there are lots of clues on that 
census to help you figure out more.

Also in Illinois is an August Barz of the correct age with wife Bertha, and 
children Ernst, Otto, Emma and William.  Are those yours.  Same clues on 
that census if you look at them.

If the above families are yours, I can send you the very clear census images.
