Marcella Nettie Korchinski nee Ron (1935 - 2009)

Even though Marcy didn't really have an attic, the posthumous discovery of numerous boxes containing uncatalogued photographs (many of them hidden under beds) suggest that she might have stored these archival treasures in a dusty attic for sorting out "one day." That day has arrived!

Much of the material is mysterious to me, and all of it needs to be organized. Family comments are not only welcome, they are vital to this project. I thank you for your input in advance!

To assist you (and me), I have also started a family tree. It is far from complete, but this link will take you to my page at Family Echo: FAMILY TREE (Just email me if you need the password, I didn't want to publish it here.)

Due to the nature of blogging (and sorting through archives), there is no apparent order to these entries. If you prefer to search through the photos and documents in a logical way, please refer to the search options on the right.


Goodall Photo Co Series - Winnipeg

These all have a stamp on the backs: "Goodall Photo Co Series, Winnipeg."

There are handwritten notes on each, but not hugely helpful - no date, only two names. Three of them were taken in warm weather and two in snow. They are, in order:
  1. "Parents & brothers"
  2. "Sisters"
  3. "Sisters & I
  4. "Harry & John"
  5. "Harry & John"
Can someone elaborate? Where in Winnipeg would this have been?

Uncle Bob said these were Lil's grandparents, Polly and Anton Sliva (Sliwa) and their sons Mike (tall) and Steve . The three women would be Mom Ron with her sisters, so Helen, Mary (Mom Ron), and Caroline.

Auntie Di informs me that the two men, Harry and John, are Marcy's father and one of his brothers. (There is a John Ron's signature as a witness on the marriage certificate for Harry Ron and Mary Sliwa. I presume these are the same John and Harry.)
