Need some help:
here is what I have on May 30 1911 a Mary Raniak married a John Majchruk. I believe Mary immigrated from Austria in 1900 and was born in 1891. I can not find them in the 1911 census or the 1916 census. I've tried different spelling variations with no luck.
Can any one see them or her after the marriage?
Thanks

Found a John and Maria Mikruk in Manitoba in the 1916... They were born in Galacia (another word for Austria or something similar..She was born in 1893 (which is close) and the immigration date was 1899 ?? Do you know any children's names?

I may have to start over as I was focusing on Mary Raniak. here is why, great grandmother Mary was born in 1891 died in 1958 last name Ronyck. That was not her real maiden name as she changed it around the 30's . We do not know her husbands name or if she even had one but had all these children under her original name and changed some of them to Ronyck and Roberts. Why we do not know and when. it is said that her original name was Remiuk or Romeniuk that's why I was looking at Mary Raniak as her birth year was right and from Austria.
Not sure if this will help or hinder in any way. ??? ???
thanks

Have you found her obituary or death notice in the newspapers, it could give you some clues.
Who reported her death on the death certificate, does it give her parents names?

Just wondering about this family in Dauphin on the 1911:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:27FM-9WL
Transcription differs from A*try. Try looking for Nasta Petrascz on both the 1906 and 1911.
Also a birth:
Michael Ronyck
12 Dec 1909
Birth Place: Sifton, Manitoba, Canada
Mother: Mary Petrash

Also the death of son Stephen who was the informant on Mary's death cert.:

That looks really good Maureen :)
I see an obit in the Winnipeg Free Press for Michael Ronyck. He died June 1, 1988 at the Concordia Hospital. Husband of Mary nee Zuck. Names his daughter, son, grandsons and great granddaughter. Also names sister Minnie and husband Howard of Victoria BC, brother Peter and wife Audrey of Burlington, Ontario, brother Steve of New Westminster BC, and sister in law Doris of Winnipeg. Michael was born in Sifton, Manitoba and later moved to Winnipeg. Interment Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens.
No mention of his parents though... but this sounds like your Michael??

This is our Michael.
thanks again

There will be a connection to this family because Michael's brother William was baptized in Dauphin.

Looked into some of this as I thought might be related to an old friend. They aren't but I'll post what I'd found for others searching.
Family search has:
May 1902 Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada - Immigration on ship Assyria
Wasyl Petrasz age 54 1848 Nastia Petrasz age 30 1872
Hanka Petrasz age 14 1888 Marya Petrasz age 11 1891
all born Galicia (abrev. as "Gal." so amusingly noted as from Khowst, Afghanistan )
Not positive if this is her husband & his brother's entry or came later with Iwan & the parents
Wasyl Riwniak age 23 b.1881 Galicia, Austria Imm. Apr 1904 Halifax, N.S. Ca. - Ship Arcadia
Dmytro Riwniak Age 24 1881 Austria Imm. Jun 1905 Halifax, N.S. Ca. - Ship Armenia
Seems to match what other Rootschatters had found on the censuses.

Thank you JJ for the additional information you posted.
Appreciated!!!

???Might be way off with the immigration for her husband, or maybe just the brother?
-Brother Dmytro's marriage to Anna Basaraba (a.k.a. Hanka) says Nov.22 1903?
Also several birth registrations for 1906? Anastazia Riwniak Birth: April 22 1906
registered 1909 Nasta Riwniak Mar. 5 1906 & Mary Riwniak Nov.15 1906
Farm's locations may have made hard to get in to records office right away
Dmytro's large family & mother Annie in 1926 Dauphin
https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=census1926&op=img&id=e011219767
You might have all this as well...never did find Mary & Wasyl on 1921 & 26 census...
If already in Wpg. for 1921/26 census don't think they were on lot 19 Old Kildonan, yet...
which I think was here: *District 35 - Selkirk Sub-districts 1&2 held lots 10 & 11. see url
https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=census1926&op=img&id=e011226290
Never found the birth circa 1914 or Peter's birth entry.
Apparently both he & Stephen changed last names to Roberts
info noted from previous helpers, with a bit added.
--Michael Ronych Dec.12, 1909 Sifton, Mb. Mother: Mary Petrash
d. 1998 Michael Ronyck & Mary Zuk Marr: Nov. 7 1936 Wpg
--Hanna - 1911 Annie Petrash REWNIAK death: May 18 1925 Wpg
-- Stefan Rewniak March 16, 1913 late reg -1957 Mary Petrosh
Died 1970 B.C. as surname Roberts changed name 1957 Wpg.
-- dau c. 1914? from 1916 census
--Nellie Riwniak Feb. 25 1916 mother: Mary Pitwacz d. 1916 Dauphin
--Maria Riwniak Nov. 28 1917 mother: Mary Petrasz Dauphin
--William Ronyck 06/11/1921 mother: Mary Petrash Winnipeg
Marr: Doris Mary Currie 04/05/1940 ST Boniface Wm. died 1956
Unusual to put Mary by youngest son, not by Wasyl?
The father Wasyl may have later gone by Wm. or Bill
They used Wm. rather than Wasyl for the son born in Wpg.
Just in case will add this:
WILLIAM Riwniak age 57 c.1885 - death Dec. 29 1942
buried Jan. West Saint Paul, "Selkirk Census area"
... this would be All Saints Cemetery (Ukr) / Riverside Cemetery
https://mani.mbgenealogy.com/ Rewniak has 104 results
Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral
is just down Main St. less than half hr. away.
Bit of history...Pioneer Manitoba settlers, Wasyl Standryk & Dmytro Riwniak, sent a petition asking for the CNR stop be called Ukraina once the C.N. Railway reached their area. They say it was named as such in 1898, but the family wasn't there that early!
