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.


1981 - Christmas Letter

Thanks to a hand-written note, I know this was the letter that went out at Christmastime in 1981. Because of this, I was able to solve the mystery of the date for the portrait itself, a variation on which was featured in another post before I moved it here. Sometimes little mysteries get solved when you dig a little deeper in the box(es)!
Here is the Korchinski family posing in the Haddington Crescent family room for the above Christmas letter portrait. On the back is stamped "Quik-Foto Elmvale S/C 526-0777" and someone has hand-written, "1 - 5x5 - B&W." The pen-marked line on the photo is to indicate cropping. Obviously, they didn't end up using this pose, so I may come across more in the series. Can anyone guess who took it?
