Which of the Two Petro Kravets: Tracing an Ancestor in Canadian Archives
A C1 Ukrainian reading about a fictional family comparing two entries in the 'Ukrainian immigrants, 1891 to 1930' database with the 1901 and 1911 censuses and the Kaye fonds.
Ukrainian pronouns that sort out several possible referents: «Обидва записи», «жоден не давав прямої відповіді», «один із них», «ні той, ні інший ярлик», «те саме ім'я», «Той, хто прибув через Портленд», «від іншого».
The fictional Kravets family weighs two namesake entries from the Library and Archives Canada database against the archive's notes on labels and spelling and the census data, and reaches a careful rather than final conclusion.
