Group of Six People

DP006F

This photo features a group of six people, whose names are identified on the back of the picture. However, the names aren’t familiar to my husband, and he doesn’t believe any of them are related to him. It was probably taken in the 1930s in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada.

The description reads as follows:

Standing L-r. Molly Kazakoff

Wesley Pangracs, Mary [surname illegible]

Alex Remezoff kneeling [first name illegible]

Was[e]lenkoff Alex Chernen[koff]

Mrs. Mike Terichow

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

Someone wrote on the front of the picture: Do[u]k Spinning Wheel.

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).

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.
