In my family tree I have a John Avram who was born near or in Rouleau, Saskatchewan to "Mary Purcil" and "Nicholi Avram" and registered with the Saskatchewan government on November 3, 1905. I found this interesting because his birth registration number is only "24". He was the twenty-fourth baby registered since Saskatchewan became a province and began tracking such things.
