Hi Hayley,
I am interested to know if you've learned any more about your Canadian Szwec family. I, too, have a Szwec line - the American branch later changed their name to Schwartz. They originated in Pinsk, and I know that my great grandfather, Julius (Jojne) Szwec/Schwartz immigrated through Canada and may have lived with a sister, Rose Szwec, in Toronto in 1922-1924.
My family's details below - let me know if any of these names are familiar:
Samuel (Shmul) SCHWARTZ (abt. 1860 – abt. 1920) m. Esther SCHWARTZ (abt. 1860 – abt. 1940)
