Born in the village / hamlet of Fourdan, he arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada on April 13, 1906 with his mother (Marie Mathurine, née Le Bouleh, 1864 - 1907) and five siblings aboard the SS Laurentian. They came to join their father, Joseph Dondo (1862 - 1923), who had preceded them a year earlier.
The family settled initially near Sainte-Rose-du-Lac / Makinak / Ochre River, MB on a homestead at NE-14-23-16-W1 (50.988691, -99.600725).
He lived in the Fisher Branch area for a time after his father's death, then in the area of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, MB. During his time there he did various jobs to earn a living, one of which was as an assistant to Jules Tinguely, the town's saddler and shoemaker. This entry in the NDL Centennial book includes an image of him in that role!
