In 1878 he married Domka Danyluk from the neighbouring village of Borewstze {Boroutz}. . Here were born five children, Nastasia, Maria, Nick, Vaselena and George. Having only eight hectares of his own land he crop shared from the wealthy land owner, who always seemed to manage to get the lions share of the crops he worked for so hard. Hearing about the free land in Canada, he decided to sell his land and belongings and move to Canada where his growing family would have a chance to prosper. In 1898 he and his family of five children sailed for Canada on the steam ship Bulgaria along with his brother Nicholas, brothers-in-law Metro Danyluk and Toder Bilar and their respective families. His brother Georgi Melnyk had left for Canada in 1897 and had already settled in what was later to be known as the Andrew district. On their arrival in Canada, they also settled near Georgi. Michael filed on the SE 6-57-16-W4. Here John and Wasyl Melnyk were born. The years 1898-1900 were very wet and so in 1901 Michailo, Georgi and Toder Bilar decided to give up their homesteads and move north across the river to what was later known as the Edwand district. Here the land was hilly and sandy and had more drainage so the wet years did not bother them. Here Michael filed on SW 24-59-16-W4 which he farmed until 1927 when he turned the farm over to his son Wasyl. Michailo and Domka had two more children, Helen and Katie. Of the nine children that were born to Michael and Domka, Nastasia married Sando Skoreyko, Maria to Demetro Werenka, Nick to Mary Dugger, George to Nancy Watamanuk, John to Mary Skoreyko, Wasyl to Katherine Repka, Helen to John L. Zelenko, Katie to William Penchuk.
