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.


Sts Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Rama

This is a post card.

Auntie Di thought this was the Ukrainian Catholic Church in either Rama or Canora with the priest standing out front. She had no idea which priest this might be. 

Uncle Bob thought this was the Greek Catholic Church and priest's house in Rama.

My Google search turned up lots of pictures of churches in both towns but not this one. However, when I select the street view on Google Maps, this appears to be the Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Rama, 124 2 Street North. The official address for the church (for contact purposes) is PO Box 138 with a postal code of S0A 3H0. The house has been altered (sadly) over the years, and the trees have all but overgrown the site. It would be interesting to find out more about this, easily the most impressive structure in the vicinity.
