Karin Wally Soellner Barth

The ship was S.S. Groote Beer.

I was 18 years old, no English and on my own when I passed through Pier 21 on October 30 1956. I was channeled directly in to C. N. Railway car to go all the way to Calgary, Alberta, with no connection in Calgary. Now on my 60th Anniversary as a Canadian citizen, a mother of four great daughters and eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren I am a very happy person and very proud to be a Canadian.

I am a Canadian Citizen as of January 26, 1962.
