Please anyone who has knowlege about this area I found ancestry for :Anna Wroebel Biggrun, Feb 1901;death citing Rat Portage,as residence// and Rainy River, Ontario, death yr 1901/Biggum or Bigrun, anna Wroebel, Female, Feb 1901, Female, Residence - Rat Portage, Occupation - wife, Married, Born - Gallicia, Cause of Death - La Grippe (?) Dr. Laidlaw, Religion - RC, name of person making return - A H Hoon or Horn, Date of registration - February 25, 1901 -
No idea where the Bigrun or Biggum comes from.
Anna went to Canada with her children and in 1901 census her husband John is already a widower with children.Surname spelled Vorobets but origin was Worobec and spelled Worobei and Worobeck etc many different mistakes in spelling early years of immigration.
The 1901 Canada Census shows John Vrobil, Widower, Birth 1858 - Austria, immigration 1897, to Rat Portage, ON (now known as Kenora) . After that the name changes from Rubye to Rubble to Ruble to Krobil, to Rubel to Wrubel. the immigration year for John (IWAN)ranges from 1897 to 1899.
So Anna was with her children going to meet her husband in Rats Portage and she died shortly after. The village of origin is not correct and can not find the name.
They are going to husband Jan (this is polish for John. In Ukrainian Ivan.)Worobeck
Rat Portage Ontario
(This surname original language was probably pronounced “Vorobets”but a document
from the original village of birth is needed to confirm. Will find this later.)Also on document in the USA and Canada the dates and names are usually distorted. Only in village of origin can you find the correct date of birth. Also arrival dates are sometimes incorrect on documents in the USA. And Canada
