This is my space to share my quest to collect as many broken branches as I can in my fractured family tree which resembles a bramble bush more then a proper tree. As I go forward in this blogging journey I hope to share how I have searched far & wide for family - with no regard for where they come from or if I should really want them.
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!

Journeyed To Canada ~ Grateful To Be Canadian

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2024: Week 7 (IMMIGRATION)


Still dealing with an elbow injury in recovery typing long posts must wait. 

Today I look back at the life my ancestors gave me. 

I am, by birth, Canadian because my great grandparents left everything they know behind in 1909 when they immigrated to Canada from Ukraine from the Port of Bremen on the ship Willehad to the barren lands of Northern Saskatchewan.

I hope I am all they dreamed their descendants would be!!! 



This is why I search - 


Cause ... 





You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
