• According to the census of 1911, Kati (Katherina) immigrated to Canada at the same year than her husband Kristjan (named as John in the census document) - i.e. 1905. The month and the year of birth is corresponding to the data of Kati and Kristjan. So Kati was the one and only wife of Kristjan and he didn't have a first wife named Emma.

• 1933 surm / death - according to the announcement in the American Estonians' magazine "Meie Tee" in 1934, Kristjan Moro died on 4. august 1933 due to complications after a surgery of his appendix. He wrote a rather critical article / letter about his life in the commune Koit in 1932. In that article he also mentioned, that he finally was given a two moths holiday, what he spent partly in a Finnish commune, close to Leningrad with much cooler climate. He enjoyed the Finnish sauna and cheaper food there. He had to return earlier to Koit, because he was blamed of being staling 30 pigs (what he didn't). At the end of the letter he also wrote, that he has to go to a hospital because of his appendix's problems and that most soviet people die in it. The letter was also published in the magazine, together with his death announcement. The announcement was made by his wife, two brothers and relatives in Eckville and Peace River, Alberta and also in other places in Canada and Estonia.

Matti Muru märkmed (it looks like these notes taken from Gustav Muru, are not very accurate about Kristjan and Henry):

• Jaan ja Hindrek läksid Am 1920-21. (?) / Jaan and Henry emigrated to America 1920-21. (?, actually Kristjan emigrated in 1905 and Henry 1911)
• Jaan läks Ameerikasse, siis tuli tagasi ja viis naise sinna. Naine läks oma teed./ Jaan went to America, Then came back and took his wife there. His wife left him and went her way. (?, actually Kristjan and his wife Kati emigrated in the same year, Kristjan did left his wife Kati to Canada while going himself to build the commune Koit in Russia)
• Jaan suri haiglas Rostovis Doni ääres nälga (tegelikult pimesoole operatsiooni tüsistustesse). Eesti saatkond ei võtnud teda vastu (komm). Tahtis Venemaalt Eestisse elama tulla./ Jaan died at a hospital of Rostov-on-Don in hunger (actually due to the surgery of appendix). Estonian embassy didn't accept him (communist). He wanted to re-emigrate from Russia to Estonia. (? There are no signs of the desire to re-emigrate from Russia to Estonia in his last letter to Canada (it might be also, that it was not possible to write in letter about that desire)).
