Norquay Nostalgia 1912-1982 Page 109
George Martynuik was born in the Ukraine in the village of Babynci, Lviv. His mother passed away when he was young, so his sister (Mrs Roman Huska) brought him up with the help of his two older brothers, John and Michael, and a sister Annie, who all remained in Ukraine.
Just before WWI broke out, George decided to try his luck and fortune in this wonderful place called â€œCanadaâ€, from which numerous stories stories had spread that it was the land of milk and honey - a haven for European people, where a homestead cost only $10.00.
So about 1902 he left his â€œmorgâ€™sâ€ of land, his home, his orchards, some stock, and set sail, which took three to four weeks to come here. That was a real challenge and an experience (he related to us many times to us) for a young man about 17 years of age.
It was with very mixed feelings he left - perhaps never to see his family again, and yet that was the opportunity that may knock but once.
Pious and religious as he was, he trusted that God would look after him in this big new land.
A view years later a quiet and sensitive widow, Mrs Solomeya Romeshenko, with three teenagers foresaw that it would be wiser to leave their better than average living in the Ukraine and make the move to Canada. So after much much thought , consideration, and fear, they ventured into the land of opportunity. With eager enthusiasm John Romeshenko, Martha (Yachyshyn) and Lena (Martynuik) encouraged their mother to set sail.
