Earliest instance I have: Joseph ALAKAVISH - b. c. 1862; birthplace reported as "Poland, Asia" on death certificate (reported by daughter); m. Sarah CHARLES c. 1890, Liverpool, UK; traveled to Brazil for work c. 1890-1892; children b. 1891 (Brazil),1893 & 1895 (Liverpool); emigrated to Alberta, Canada c. 1900; d. July 1912, Alberta, Canada. ALAKAVISH is believed to be an anglicized surname. We have numerous guesses as to where "Poland, Asia" refers to, but no real leads. Any assistance gratefully received. Thank you in advance.
