Europe / Ukraine: SAM (SEMKO) BORSK
« on: Saturday 15 January 11 04:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi , I`m currently working on tracing the Borsk family. I`ve managed to get some info on Sam`s wife Franciska and his kids who were born in Lembley (Lemberg), Galicia from approx 1897. They all emigrated to Rainy River, Ontario, Canada in 1907. I`m struggling to find any details on Sam. I`m assuming he was from the Galician area too (possibly the part which is now western Ukraine). Any ideas how I can find dates of birth and details on his parents?
Thanks,
Craig

Europe / PETER BORSK
« on: Saturday 08 January 11 05:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there, Trying to trace my great grandfather at the moment and just found out he was born in Austria around 1898. His name is PETER BORSK. He emigrated to Canada via England briefly and was married in Ontario in 1920. He married Dorothy Smithers but the surname was changed to BORSCH around this time also. Don`t know exactly when and why name was changed.
Is there any way of finding out details such as place of birth and date of birth and also his parents from the limited info I have at the moment?

Thanks,
Craig

Surrey / DOROTHY OR CHARLOTTE SMITHERS
« on: Saturday 08 January 11 05:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,
Trying to find any details on my great grandmother CHARLOTTE DOROTHY SMITHERS born around 1900 in Surrey. She may have used her middle name DOROTHY as her mum was also Charlotte.
Her father was called Ernest and there was ten or eleven children in all in the family. Story goes she emigrated to Canada but dont know when and why.(*)

Any info would be great, thanks,
Craig

Canada / PETER BORSK

Hi there, looking for any info really on my great grandparents PETER BORSK and DOROTHY SMITHERS.  I know they married in RAINY RIVER,ONT in 1920. He was born in Austria and she was English but their surname was changed to BORSCH for some reason. Not sure when and why this happened! I think they both died in Toronto area but not sure when.
Think he worked with Canadian Railways.
I would be grateful if anybody can shed light on any details, especially dates of death.
Thanks,
Craig
