Baruch Karsh Family


Baruch Karsh came to Calgary from Russia in 1911. He and his family were comfortable there, but he wanted a better way of life for them.

After he got a job at Riverside Lumber in Calgary, Baruch sent for his wife Ida and their seven children. One of the children died on the ship coming over.

The surviving children were: Fanny Katchen, Harry Karsh, Rose Chetner, Ann Hapton, Mary Cohen and Ruth Libin.
