Many Ukrainians decided to immigrate to Canada because of severe social and economic pressures in their native Ukraine.
Among those eager to immigrate was Kost and Anastasia Achtemichuk and family. Kost took out a passport for the family on May 27,1899 (this passport was valid for six months)and for reasons unknown to us they postphoned their journey until 1900. Maybe because his wife was expecting their seventh child. Baby Paraska was born on Aug 2,1899. They immigrated to Canada in 1900, and settled on the farm of a relative, Sam Gnyp about twenty miles North East of Yorkton. They lived here for three years and worked out to make some money. In 1903 they filed for a homestead six miles east of Rhein. Here they built a dugout 12 by 30 feet and covered it with brush and dirt . They had two rooms in it, they lived and slept in one and the other one for a cow and steer and chickens. They lived here for two years,
Then they built a three room house. One was a kitchen and a bed and the next one was for storing flour, clothes and foodstuff, and the third was a dinning table and two beds. Breaking land was difficult as there were many sloughs and brush. However there was peace.
It was peace that he wanted for his family and children.
Kost died in 1922 and Paraska lived longer and enjoyed her children and grandchildren.
