The Following from Kathy and Mania:
Albert Podgurski, born Mar.1/1900, Came to Canada in 1912. Albert's mom died when he was 4 or 5 yrs., his father dies near his birth, Daddy told me his father told him his father was killed by lighting when he was going to the barn in a storm. Annie Krolichek born July 15/1905. Came to C anada about 1912 with Aunt Eksal. They seemed to live close to Albert's f amily.
(Note: The reason they lived close was Aunt Eksal was actually Annie Podgurski, Albert's older sister - Kevin)
Albert died Jan. 6/74. Annie dies June 21/81. Annie's mother was called Agnes Elizebeth Bonchuk. She was born 1877, died 1945 at 68 yrs. Annie's father was Joseph Krolichek, born 1872, died 1946 about 73 yrs. Albert's brother John Sr. had 9 children. Teddy, Helen, Sophie, Annie, Mary &
Peter. Peter born 1917 died 1938. Annie's family consisted of Bahr, Bessie, & Emile. Annie & Albert married on July1/21, they had Kay, Dorothy & Albert Jr. Dianne is trying to find more info from Mary MacPhee.

P.S. I'm not sure about Bahr. Mom told me not too long ago that Grampy 's brother Bahr used to take Grampy's work money. So now I'm not sure who's brother Bahr is.

(Note: Bahr is actually Bohumil Krolichek who died 11 Nov 1926 in a mini ng accident by falling rock - Kevin)

John Podgurski, Mary Lesniewski, Albert Podgurski and Stanley Podgurski all left Amsterdam, Holland on the Prince Apollo, arriving in Halifax late
