Bercov, Malkin and Joffe Family Members in Surazh, Russia - c. 1910
The surnames of all three of these related families are part of pioneer Jewish history in Southern Alberta. Some were already here some years before this c. 1910 photo was taken. Others, seen in this picture, would follow. Asterisks are placed after their names.
In the centre of the middle-row is Grandmother Bercov.
At her left are Chaya Dvora (Bercov) Joffe and Maryasha Fradkin.
Back row (left to right): Shloma Joffe, Ara* and Rachel* Bercov, Meyer* and Malcah* (Bercov) Malkin, Chaya's sister.
Front row includes Genesha Shanov* (second from left) and, far right, Hilia Bercov.
