Thanks for all the help....for anyone looking for this book (I've noticed it before on Ancestry boards)....the correct title of the book is : Memoirs: Sketches on early Polish settlements and the Polish Roman Catholic church in Western Canada by Anthony Sylla. There are several copies in libraries in Canada and the U.S. I'm going to try my luck with an inter-library loan. Also saw the book for sale on a Canadian bookseller's website. Hooray!
Hope to get a clue about my relative and his time in Canada.
