65 prepaids
Families and relatives of citizens and
111 cash customers residents of the United States.
The BOHEMIA sailed from Cuxhaven for New York on the 25th ulto. with 114
passengers in steerage, all of whom to the best of our knowledge and belief
come within the rules and regulations hitherto in force in relation to the
admission of the passengers. They are composed as follows:
4 residents of the United States
11 aliens not intending to settle in the United States,

Correspondence 12/08/2003 passenger #74 Tommila
Passenger #74: Eric Tommila
He worked his way across Canada and by 1901 (according to Canadian
Census records) had finally settled in Brandon, Manitoba. He sent
for his fiancée, who arrived in North America in 1903. They got
married in Brandon Manitoba, February 11, 1904. They had four sons,
one of whom was my grandfather - the father to my mother.
I would be greatly interested in the people he travelled to Canada
with - particularly if they have any information that goes back
into life they may have shared together while in Finland.
