I would appreciate any advice you might have as to how I might begin my search in other areas eg. immigration and deportation. I am requesting access to information for Isaac Johann Braun, born March 21 1886 in Halbstadt Russia. Isaac immigrated to Rosthern Saskatchewan with his family in July 1924 and was party to ten trials with H. P. Friesen pertaining to fraud, perjury, and fabrication of evidence. The trials took place between 1925 and 1928. I am requesting all records regarding CSC interactions with Isaac Braun between 1925 and 1933. This would include correspondance, interview transcripts, visitors, ethnocultural, chaplaincy, and language services, health status, etc. Where possible I prefer e-copies.
