1908 immigration document

On this document it gives the address of 518 Burrows Avenue, Winnipeg in column 11 as the address of closest relative (Jennie Goodman). There are records in Winnipeg that a J Goodman, cabinet maker with the GW Murray Company, resided at that address. The owner of the house was an E. Meyers.

In column 18 it states that Joe is going to a cousin named C. Meyers at 1807 Carr (possibly Cora) in St Louis. Odd coincidence of the name Meyers.

Columns 30,31,32 state that Joe arrived in Montreal on the SS Victorian in May, '05. 1906 seems more likely to me. Passenger List For SS Victorian (just enter Victorian for 'Name Of Ship')

Joe told me that they tried farming in Quebec but gave up after one winter. I conjecture that they moved on to Winnipeg, where cousin E. Meyers offered shelter. Perhaps E. Meyers also worked for GW Murray.
