Hi, I too, have stories about my grandfather building the railroad near Winnipeg. My grandmother told about being left alone with 2 children for several months while my grandfather went to work. His name was Joseph Hrudney. Any help with railroad records that could be passed on to me will be appreciated. mikulaca@aol.com Carolyn Researching M.I.K.U.L.A M.I.H.A.L H.R.U.D.N.E.Y R.U.D.Y
