Hi, My name is Yvonne Langlois. My Great Grandparentson my Moms side were also Aron Theisen born Feb27,1846 and Sarah Sawatsky born July 17,1848 in Herrboden S.Russia. I have a beautiful portrait of them in a large oval frame that used to hang above their mantle in their home in Herbert, Saskatchewan. My Mom Anna was their granddaughter. Her parents were Bernhard Henry and Anna Theisen Klassen. My Sister and I have been trying to sort all of this out for some time now. Perhaps you will be able to help us.What I have been told they left Friedrichsthal, Russia on the Steamer Ship "Sardinia"and arrived to Halifax (July 31,1876.Russia date) and August 12, 1876-Canada date. I am guessing they were quarrantined for days before getting onto canadian soil. They were married on June 28,1879 in Schaenee,Manitoba.
