Manitoba Archives are on-line and offer to search for records and will let you know how many pages there are. They charge $0.50 per copy and offer to copy all or they will sort through them
and copy only those pages they think are family research material.

I live in Manitoba, Canada and have for the past 20 years accumulated data on
Ukrainian speaking peoples immigrating from eastern Galicia and Bukowinia to
western Canada in the first wave (1891 to 1914). I have info on several thousands of
Ukrainian familys, villages of origin, ship lists, ship pictures, cemetary transcripts,
homestead records etc. much of which is stored in data base format for easy search
and retrieval.
However, this is a hobby with me and I can't afford to spend my life doing nothing else
so please only serious inquiries if you are pretty sure you had family around
these parts. Tnx

Russian - LI-RA-MA Collection
The LI-RA-MA Collection (MG 30 E 406) consists of documents created by the Imperial Russian Consular offices in Canada during the period 1898 to 1922. There was no consular activity in the late 1920s. The Passport / Identity Papers series consists of about 11,400 files on Russian and East European immigrants (Jews, Ukrainians, Poles, Finns, etc.) who settled in Canada in the first two decades of the twentieth century.
The files include documents such as passport applications and background questionnaires. Many of the records are written in Russian Cyrillic; the National Archives does not provide a translation service.
Microfilm copies of the LI-RA-MA Collection are available through the inter-institutional loan arrangement. The nominal card index to the Passport / Identity series appears on the following microfilm reels:

The National Archives in Washington, D.C., holds a similar collection of records compiled by the Russian Consular offices in the United States. For further information, consult Sallyann Sack's
publication The Russian Consular Records Index and Catalogue.

Ship lists
There are records on
immigration at it. If you wish to get the records from them, there is a
fee for it. But some of the information they have listed, such as Passenger & Immigration
Index, is a free database, which you can search online. You can then order
records using this site if you locate an ancestor. There are dates into
the early 1800's. There may be later and earlier ones.
Passenger lists are at the Latter Day Saints Family History Centre, some public libraries and
Provincial Archives.

Writing for birth certificates to Germany:
Olga's reply: Go to Aschaffenburg, there is a sample letter at the bottom to Standesamt (city recorder) in German, asking for a birth certificate. Of course, you will change the city name according to your own needs, you don't need the street address. Just city recorder, city, Germany, and they are clever and will direct it to the right place.
Your Canadian immigration archives should give you the name of each camp you were in.
Germans keep careful records, it's their nature. They are a very orderly people. I got the
birth certificates of mine, my sister's, my cousin's and my parent's matrimony.
On this site's Addresses page, under Germany sub-heading, there is a link for vocabulary words that will help you address letters. If this site was helpful to you, please consider making a donation to keep it going.
