He married Maria Oleksiuk, p.Dmytro and Iryna Byrka (Maria Oleksiuk, p.Demetrius et Irena Byrka). She was from the building No 58. They lived in the building No 58, later in the building No 295, and had at least - 9 children: Lukiy Petro (Lukij Petrus) 26.08.1876 DOB. Lukiy Ivan (Lukij Joannes) 13.01.1879 – 22.01.1879 Lukiy Theodor (Lukij Theodorus) 7.03.1880 – 18.02.1881 Lukiy Vasylyna (Lukij Basilina) 25.01.1882 DOB. Lukiy Mykhaylo (Lukij Michael) 20.11.1883 – 26.11.1883 Lukiy Semen (Lukij Simeon) 3.10.1885 DOB. Lukiy Roman (Lukij Romanus) 9.10.1888 – 22.07.1890 Lukiy Vasyl (Lukij Basilius) 9.10.1888 – 24.12.1892 (twins with Roman) Lukiy Andriy (Lukij Andreas) 22.09.1892 DOB. From Lawrence Huska page 6 - 7 After a short run from Winnipeg to Portage La Prairie, the family transferred to a different railway carrier, the CNR (Canadian Northern Railway), and covered the final distance to Grandview, Manitoba. There to the great joy of all, Paraska’s uncle, Kyrylo (Karl) Lukey (Кирило Лукій), and family welcomed them. It was now early June, about a week since their arrival in Halifax. The First Homestead Kyrylo, b. 1849, and his wife Maria (Марія) came to Canada from Babyntsi, Galicia, in 1900 where he had been the village reeve or mayor (війтом), together with three of their children, Wasylyna (Васйлйна) (b.1884), Simon (Семен) (b.1885), and Andrew (Андрай) (b.1892). Their oldest child, Peter (Петро) (b. 1876), had immigrated to Canada earlier, in 1898. It was Peter’s letters to his parents back in Babyntsi extolling the virtues of Canada that convinced them to seek a better life in Canada. They settled on SE22-27-23-W1, near Venlaw, north of Gilbert Plains, Manitoba. And like most other immigrants, who had arrived in Canada, they had maintained contact with their relatives back in Babyntsi, which included Paraska and Roman. Although there were other Huskas settled in the Dauphin region, who were also from Babyntsi, it was Kyrylo and Maria who sponsored Roman, Paraska, George, and John. Because of the untenable conditions of their lives in Babyntsi and the favorable reports they had received by letter from the Lukeys in Venlaw, Roman and Paraska decided to join the flood of emigrants leaving Galicia in search of greener pastures in western Canada. The plan was that all would stay with the Lukeys until such time that the newcomers could establish themselves sufficiently to go it on their own. The 18 feet by 26 feet Lukey log house, typical of homesteaders’ residences, must have been extremely crowded with the addition of four adults and two small children to its confines. Although a few settlers had taken out homesteads earlier, the great immigration swell did not arrive until after the completion of the Canadian Northern rail line to Grandview in December 1896. The Lukeys were part of that swell. The settlers continued to arrive in great numbers, occupying almost all the available land by the time that Roman and Paraska and the two young men arrived. The homesteads near the Lukeys were all taken. In fact, when the Lukeys arrived in 1900, the best land had already been taken. No doubt, this lead to hesitation on Kyrylo’s part to take out a homestead entry immediately. Instead the Lukey family squatted on what was the best quarter of a bad lot. However, under pressure from the local land office, Kyrylo filed his Entry for Homestead on June 21, 1901.
