Documents: Declaration of Passenger to Canada
Filed in 1924, the above is a copy of Nikolaus Lakatos's
Declaration of Passenger to Canada
Written in on the side margin appears to be a date in reference to Naturalization.
Below is a form completed in 1936 by his son, George (a citizen of Canada), to allow for a 2 week stay in the United States to visit his Uncle, Wendel Lakatos, who resided in Cleveland, OH.

Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada
Gare, Hôtel Grand Union, bureau de poste et Edifice Tourigny en 1892
Today I thought I'd try Randy Seaver's Easter Egg Hunt idea ... http://www.geneamusings.com/2009/04/my-genealogy-easter-egg-hunt.html
The town I chose was Victoriaville, Canada; the birthplace of Marie Anne Turgeon shown in http://tangledtrees.blogspot.com/2009/04/nearly-wordless-wednesday-lovely-couple.html
I have not looked into this place at all so this would be new...
Okay - what I quickly learned is that Victoriaville is located in Quebec & I had better brush up on my French because the local genealogy society website for that area is in French: Société d'histoire et de généalogiede Victoriaville. It will take a little slow & persistant work to eke out some family information from there but for now I am enjoying the 'album photos' on their website. Here are just a few:
Les débuts de l'éducation à Ste-Victoire.
Moulin à scie et usine électrique d’Achille Gagnon 1897.
L’Union des Cantons de l’Est au début du siècledernier.
Procession de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste de 1897. Au piedde l’hôtel Prince of Wales.

Occupation: Wheelwright
(image source: History of Work)One of our French-Canadian Ancestors:
1900 census: Peter (Pierre) Robillard of Norwich, New London, Connecticut; Age: 63; b. Aug 1831 Canada; wife: Philomene Ducharme b. Nov. 1836 Canada; Occupation: wheelwright
A wheelwright is a tradesman who builds or repairs wheels for carts or wagons. The wheels were traditionally made from wood and were banded by iron tires. Sometimes bone or horn were used for decorative purposes. The iron hoop or 'tire' was supplied b
y the blacksmith. Wheelwrights were sometimes also referred to as a wainwright. The word, wainwright, is the combination of the root words 'wain' (a large wagon for farm use) and 'wright' (a worker or maker). In modern times, wheelwrights continue to make and repair a wide variety of wheels for horse-drawn vehicles used in farming, equine competitions, and historical events. One such wheelwright shop is located in Colonial Williamsburg creating the wheels for the carriages used in the historic district.~ ~ ~
