Моя бабушка (девичья фамилия Самодурова) рассказывала, что часть ее родственников - молокан уехала в южную америку из Грузии Тбилиси (Тифлис) вроде в начале 20века

Electronic Translation: "My grandmother (maidenly surname Of [samodurova]) said, what part of her relatives - the Molokans left to South America from Georgia of Tbilisi (Tiflis) like at the beginning of 20[veka" (century)

Спасибa для вашего комментария Katia. Спроситa вашей бабушке почему она не соединила их. (Гришка)

Many Molokans went to South America before coming to the USA. Some stayed. Also many came through Ancon, Panama Canal Zone and then on to San Francisco as they earned enough money to do so. I suppose some would consider Panama as 'South America'. (Ghrishka)

Thank you.. The man on the top right is my Great-Grand father, Thomas Litivnov. My father is fairly certain that the lady next to him is my Great-Grandmother, Zena

You have done a great job on this project. So I have a few things to ask you and Nancy.
My mother had a son who died during the polio epidemic in la. His Name was Billy and was 8yrs old. I was sure that somehow I can find the date and burial grounds. Two molokan cemeteries. Which one would he be at? The last name is Fillipoff or Filipoff. Father John, Mother Mary. I am guessing in the late 40's. I thought about calling Alex on Tuesday to check with him. There are no other relatives to ask. Great to see your voice! Jackie

Hi Jackie.. Thank you for the pat on the back.. "William-Jonathan FILIPOFF" was born 09/29/1942 and died 06/07/1942 in los Angeles. I would presume he is buried in The "New Molokan Cemetery" on Slauson Ave., but I only have photos of a fraction of the Markers there. Sorry. Also, Alex J. M. Filipoff died 07/08/1989 in Montebello.

They are my great Deda and Baboonya Valov. I met her when I was younger. My Baboonya's parents.

And Wonderful Christian folks they were. My Family belonged to the Shafter Church for a few years (1948-1955) or so. Thank You Sarah, for your comment. (Ghrishka)

This is my Great Totsya Jeannette...sister to my Deda Slivkoff.

I know who John Fred Aghap Fred K. Valov is...he's my Baboonya's brother. So my great uncle. never got to meet Totsya Manya.

1st person on the left (young male w/letterman's sweater "K" ---from Kerman High School) is James Mose Pivovaroff, son of Mose A. and Masha (Mary) M. (Bolderoff) Pivovaroff. He died a few years ago in Australia (Aug. 24, 2005)

Hi: im Jack Klistoffs grandson does anyone know the name of the man all the way to the top right because that is my great grandfather??

Sorry.. If John. N. Kotkoff doesn't know, I don't think there is anybody left that would. After all, he is the son of the bride & groom in this photo.
What more can you tell us about "Jack".., or your parents..? I'm into genealogy, and can't find any "Jack" born or died in California, or in the SSDI. Perhaps a little more info would help. (Ghrishka@Hotmail.com)

I had this photo with the wrong names.. until Yyon corrected me with;
"Guest Yyon wrote: Friday, July 31, 2009 - 5:10 PM
" The names in this picture is not correct.
The correct names are Yyon Y Buckroff and wife
Suzanne D Shubin Buckroff "

I'm SO sorry for the Error Yyon.., I don't know where I got that info.. Perhaps it was just another 'senior moment'. (GB)

What a treat to see my maternal Grandmother here, she was Jennie Shubin, here with sister Hazel, as small girls just before leaving Russia. My Grandmother Jennie Shubin married William Shubin, and had five childern: from oldest to youngest: Esther Ann, then Ann, then John who served in the Navy, then my mother Frances Jean Shubin, then the youngest, James or "Jimmy" Shubin. My mother Frances and uncle "Jimmy" both had red hair, as I do, and my brother, John William Greenwell.

My gg grandfather is Taras Tolmsasoff. I have a family tree on geni.com, would love to have any/all Russian relatives join! Maybe together we can fill in some blanks :)
