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.


October 1962 - Marcy's Wedding Attire

Here are three receipts from Pearlman's Ladies' Wear Ltd. - "Your Bridal Gown Headquarters" - on South Railway Avenue in Regina, Saskatchewan. Each receipt has the picture of the store on the back, as shown below.

On October 4, 1962, Marcy put a deposit on a gown and bought a negligee, bra, and slip. On October 11, she paid the balance on the gown and alterations. On October 23 she bought a veil, crown, girdle, and another bra. The entire outfit cost less than $150.00.
