Mrs. Lysuna Kazakoff

DP001F

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.

    Yvonne, best wishes to you in your work with these orphan photos! Here's hoping people will find their way here and help identify some of these mystery photos.

    I found your blog today through a mention at GeneaBloggers. Welcome!

      Thanks for dropping by, Jacqi! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some of the people in the photos will be identified.
