ANNA SALEN - 31 December 1950 Disebarkation in Fremantle
Hello:
I am Wolodymir Katolik, age 21 months - now 75 USA, am the lone surviving member of a family of 4 who arived in Western Australia on this voyage. My father Iwan, age 27 (+2003 in USA); my mother Lida, age 24 (+2020 USA); my sister Ella, age 6 (+2023 USA).
We lived in WA in Tambellup, Stockton/Collie, Kendenup, and Yellowdine (Southern Cross) until June 1962 when the family emigrated to the United States of America to join my aunt Valya nee Lechner in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I am most interested in obtaining a copy of the film which Gusztav made of the voyage.
Please advise.
Thanky you
