Grigorie Buliga (Gregory or Gregor), son of Gheorg Buliga and Ecaterina Rusnaciuc, was an ethnic Romanian, born in the village of Tereblecea, in the Duchy of Bukovina, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (today in Ukraine, in the Chernivetska Oblast, near the city of Chernivtsi or Czernowitz/Cernauti). Various records give conflicting dates of birth. His World War I draft card says he was born in March 1883, and his World War II draft card says he was born 15 March 1883, but the Michigan Death Index says he was born 30 Jan. 1882, and the Social Security Death Index says he was born 15 Jan. 1883. His gravestone says he was born in 1883. In March 1908, he emigrated to Canada on the S.S. Grampian, landing at Halifax, Nova Scotia. In May 1910, he moved to Baudette, Minnesota, on the Canadian border near Rainy River, Ontario. On 21 Nov. 1910 in Rainy River, he married fellow Romanian immigrant Anna Pascar, daughter of Ioan Pascar and Iulita Dubau. Their first three children, Catherine L., John George, and Mary Mena, were born in Baudette. While in Baudette, Gregor became a naturalised U.S. citizen. Afterwards they moved to Pontiac, Michigan, where their fourth child, Lena Carolina, was born. The 1940 U.S. Census also lists a son named Robert and a daughter named Esther -- but that they have non-Romanian names and were not listed among Gregor and Annie's children in the 1920 and 1930 census indicates that Robert and Esther were probably adopted during the 1930s. Gregor and Anna lived in Pontiac for the rest of their lives.
