I'm risking boring many of you but I am posting family again.
Primary family:
    August Schuman b. 17 Jan 1858 supposedly in Deutsche Krone West Prussia
    Auguste Freiman b. 16 Sept 1864 supposedly in East Prussia
 The three verified records that I have are:
                 Auguste Pauline Schumann: (not in family memory) b. 13 
Dec 1882 in Boguslowka to August Schumann, mother Auguste Freimann(film 
1895614/3 547 109) godparents Wilhelm Drager and Bertha (Schumann) 
Freymann... baptised in Boguslawka prayer house.
                Fredrich Wilhelm Schumann  born: 18 Dec 1885, Boguslawka 
(1897692/1 376  1594 ) a younger sister remembered him dying of "black 
diphtheria as well as three other children.
                Schuhmann, Mathilde       15 Sep   1881 August    
Auguste     1897594/1 384  1370 Rogoslawka ( think this was meant to be 
Boguslawka also)
                supposedly there was also a Karl and a Bertha A. as children
                Emma Wilhelmina Schumann b 9 Mar 1888 Canadian records 
list birth as Wolhynia, Shittomir
                Ida Schumann b. 12 Dec 1889
                Gustav Schumann b. 14 May 1889
                Minna Helena Schumann b 30 Oct 1893 (family lore says 
she was born in Eichfier, West Prussia.) Minnie tested positive for TB 
and had one missing lung.
The four youngest children were brought to Canada by grandmother, 
Caroline (Weinert) Freimann after the last parent, mother, died in 1902.
    Caroline brought them to Westaskiwin, Alberta where two of her sons, 
Friedrich Freimann and Karl Freimann were already living. Emma married 
Gottlieb Jobs in Canada (I believe he is Jabs on the Volhynian records), 
Ida married Blake Johnston, Gustave died in Mar 1909, Emmaus Lutheran 
Church, Brightview Cemetery, Wetaskiwin.  Other families associated by 
marriage with this family are Woitt, Warnke,  Draeger, Grahn, Graeffen, 
Grabowsky, Haas, Fee, Westendorf
    I'd appreciate any further information that anyone has on this 
family. Beond the 3 birth records, I have no concrete information on the 
family before they came to Canada on the steamship S.S. Lake Champlain 
which sailed from Liverpool 28 October and arrived 7 November 1902. The 
ship was only 1/2 full and they were the only German passengers.
