The Doukhobor woman in this photo is identified, but I don’t know if she is related to my husband’s family.

The handwriting on the back of the picture might be that of my father-in-law William (Bill) Demoskoff. On the left-hand side is: M Demoskoff / Kamsack, while on the right-hand side is: Mr[s] Mike Tericho[w] / (Annie Relbin Rebalkin).

Three unidentified men pose for this postcard photo. It looks like something is written in Russian script on the back, but it doesn’t appear to be their names. Since the photo was in my father-in-law's collection, the men are presumably Doukhobors, photographed in Canada in or after 1899.

This traditionally-dressed Doukhobor woman is identified as "Mrs Lysuna Kazakoff" on the back of the photo.
Lysuna is a diminutive for Elizaveta (Elizabeth, in English). The picture was taken presumably in Saskatchewan or British Columbia, in or after 1899, when the first Doukhobor immigrants settled in Canada. The photo postcard is unused, with "Made in Canada" printed on the back; a small rectangular AZO stamp box is in the right hand corner.
