КАНАДА

I am Canadian, but looking for someone I believe to be my grandmother's father. I got some information from some older people about 11 years ago, who lived in the area and shared memories of this person. They said he was Russian, had dark hair and was quite tanned, a "well-built man" (guessing he was tall and/or strong), but became crippled from drink and pulled himself around in a cart by his hands. His anglicized name was "Andrew Zaets", but I have seen variations in spelling. On one land title, his name was spelled "Andryj Zayancz", on another title he went by the name "Andrew Babichuk" (same land within the same year - so he must have chosen to use a different name?) and he is described as "Butcher". I do not know his date of birth or death date, but my grandmother was born in December 1929 and her mother in 1903.

I am hoping that somehow there is family from Russia also looking for him in Canada. He lived between Biggar and Perdue, Saskatchewan, Canada, on the NE quarter of Section 21-37-12 West of the 3rd Meridian (or NE 21-37-12 W3) - that is how land in some of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta is described on Land Titles. I have searched land titles for him and his name was on this land title in 1928; in 1937, an "Administrator of Estates of the Mentally Incompetent, for the said Province" is on title, and after that the land belonged to a series of different people. I have very little information to work with unfortunately!

It is tricky trying to do research when I don't know Russian or Ukrainian! I would imagine most names became anglicized on documents - there is probably no clear spelling conversion to the English alphabet from Cyrillic, or at least many people recording their names would have been probably English and recorded the spellings incorrectly. That said, if you do have a land location for a relative you're looking for in Saskatchewan, looking up historic land titles is fairly easy. If anyone needs help with that, I can do what I can (between family tree research). Also, land grants can be found by name. Again, spelling can be a problem.

If anyone knows where else I can post this information, that it might be picked up by someone who knows where to look for someone Russian with a name only and approximate period of birth, please let me know or feel free to pass the info along. If you think you can help but need some more information about my family, please let me know what you need and hopefully I might have something to help.

Здравствуйте. Всякое бывает. Вам бы открыть отдельную тему по пропавшему без вести в разделе о ВОВ и подробности описать. Ссылки на базы данных указать. Что касается телефона, то позвоните в Канаду, хуже не будет.
