The Julius Schwandt family, 8 persons including mother Auguste, 4 children and an infant, emigrated to Canada in the spring of 1893. Their immigrant ship was the Mongolian, out of Liverpool April 13 1893 and into Halifax 10 days later. Their debarkation onto the soil of the New World was the morning of April 24 1893, and they were destined to Winnipeg by the CPR. Their travel from West Prussia remains unknown.
