Aron Pervin came to Canada in 1902 - 03 from Berdechev, then the Ukraine part of Russia.  To come to Canada, he walked to somewhere on the western coast of Europe, where he boarded a ship that brought him to Montreal.

　

Aron was somewhere in his mid-twenties when he made the journey.  Prior to that he was in the Russian cavalry, which was part of the Russian army, to which he was conscripted. 

　

He told a tale of being on duty in Siberia during the Passover.  He was billeted with a Jewish family in order to be able to observ Passover.
