I have additional information on this couple. Karl died 9 Sep 1935 at Swift Current, Saskatchewan and is buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery (also Swift Current, I believe). Adeline d. 9 Oct. 1972, Rutland, British Columbia. They had at least 7 children. I have an obit for him, but not for her.

Re: Toews family research

Well, well, well, hello Nephew! This is your uncle Dick. We've been doing some research too! We spent some time in Winnipeg and Steinback this past summer. We had decided to go back into the Chinese field but then, unexpectedly, I discovered more details about our family history then I had known. Now we're are planning to move to Steinback when we sell our home. We met a number of relatives while there. Mari's father, brother and sister live in Sprague where Dad had a bakery. My earliest memories of the smell of fresh bread baking are from there. One sister lives in Winnipeg, they work with the Chinese there and another sister and family are pioneering in Sturgeon Falls ON and they all have to pass through Steinback to visit each other. Incidentally when you visit Steinback be sure to visit the Mennonite Heritage Museum - it is fascinating! Besides, there is a large portrait of g/grandfather Cornelius P. hanging there in recognition of his contribution to the events of history. If I can get your emial I can try and send some pictures I took while there. I see another relative, Dianne, contacted you as well, if she wishes I can send the pictures to her too. On the way back we stopped at Virden and I showed Mari your old house, newly painted, and visited your Mom and Dad's grave site. The town has grown from what I remember. Hope this gets to you safely. Write if and when you can.

Our love to you and the family,

Dick and Mari

Karl Metke married Adeline Toews, 21/02/1903, WPG, Manitoba -- this from the Manitoba Vital Stats page. I believe they are the Karl Metka and Lena on the 1906 census. Can anyone help me find more information on this couple and their children?

Thanks.

Dave,
I have the GRANDMA database on my computer. I can send you all the information I have if you like. Would you like my email address so we can correspond off list?

One thing to keep in mind is there are errors in the GRANDMA database and sometimes the sources are not listed.

GRANDMA says that Leonhard Suderman immigrated or arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Strassburg July 2 1878.

Source: Lists of Passengers Arriving at the Port of New York, Volume 1 (January 1875-September 1882). From the Migration From the Russian Empire, Vol 1 Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1995. Glazier, Ira A., editor

This is the address of the GRANDMA site.

Thank you for the information and for the source. I am not familiar with "GRANDMA" so that may be of some real use.

What I know of Anna Toews is some of her decendents, of whom my wife is one.

I believe that she may have been born in Alexanderkrone, Halbstadt, in the Ukraine and she may have married Leonhard Suderman in Samara, Russia. And of course the dates I wrote in my original message. That is my knowledge of her. If you have additional information about her, that would be good to see.

I looked on the LDS database for a Gerhard as a father to Anna and found one. She was listed as born in 1854, so it is close on the date, but not the location. So... we'll see if I can find a resource to track down the mother in this family.

It would be interesting to know the immigration date to connect that with Gerhard's death date to confirm what you wrote about Anna and mother coming over together.

Anyhow, thank you for checking the GRANDMA database. I appreciate it.
Dave

The latest version of the Mennonite Genealogy Database (GRANDMA) states

"She was the daughter of Gerhard Toews. According to her grand-daughter, Hilda (Thiesen) Funk, she came to this county with her widowed mother. One record says she died Aug 1933."

This country probably means the U.S. I checked on Gerhard Toews but there is little information on him and no spouse is listed. Did you want more info on Anna Toews?
