These are photos from my trip to southern Manitoba in the summer of 2008. I grew up in Winnipeg and both my parents were from the farming community around Altona and Morden. My mother's family name is Zacharias. She and two of her sisters married Friesens. The pictures from the top are:top - Marie Friesen (my mother), Katherine Headrick (my wife) and Helen Friesen (my aunt) in the overgrown yard of the Zacharias home.
second - what remains of the Zacharias farmhouse
third - the road leading to the farm
bottom - Helen and Marie Friesen in Helen's basement
