Interesting Facts

1914 June, Ship "La Savoire", Giovanna Bozzer, going to her husband in Hillcrest along with her 1 year old son, Antonio. That we know of there was only Pietro Bozzer living in Hillcrest at that time - was this his wife? There were other Bozzer's in the Crowsnest Pass at that time so not definite.
