His family name would be written as "РЧСИН" in the Cyrillic alphabet. This is seen on at least one of his children's grave markers.
He is understood to have been born in the town of Mielnica in the province of Galicia in the then Austrian Empire. Most probable modern reference: Mel'nytsya-Podil's'ka, Chortkiv Raion, Ternopilska, Ukraine (48.6062012, 26.1649167). This town is also named as his last place of residence prior to leaving for Canada.
His family name is recorded with many variations in the records. Examples include but are not limited to Russin, Russyn, Rusyn, Russian, and Rossian.
He is understood to have married in the town of Krowinka in that same province of Galicia. Most probable modern reference: Krovynka, Ternopil, Ukraine (49.3351308, 25.6753491)
At the age of 43, he migrated to Canada (through Hamburg, Germany via Boulogne, France and New York, New York, USA) with his young family aboard the ship "Palatia" in about July 1899. The ship's manifest lists his occupation as: "Farmer, owner".
Upon arrival in Canada, he took advantage of the homesteading program offered by the Government of Canada at the time, obtaining entry to Homestead #96407 at NE-02-17-03-E1 (50.43294, -97.07054) on November 20, 1901 (Library and Archives Canada Entry #9019). Title was granted on February 3, 1904. (Note: In late 2023, his descendants continue to own and live on this land.)
During his lifetime, his family lived part-time on the homestead and at other times were counted in the census of the town of nearby Winnipeg Beach. His family developed close ties to that town and his sons were merchants, local leaders, and postmasters there over the years.
His life included many notable events including, but not limited to the entry of Canada into World War 1. Also, the "Spanish Flu" epidemic was active at the time of his death, though family oral history indicates his cause of death to have been Typhoid Fever.
