Scope and content
Family and friends pose outside in front of a house at Blumenort, Molotschna Colony. To the left of the center are the parents of Elvera, Lydia and Jakob Bergen. Elvera’s oldest sister Hedwig is on her mother’s lap. On the right is the Martin Duerksen family and their 5 children: Martin Duerksen is seated to the right of Jakob Bergen, his son Gerhard stands to his right. (This boy had health problems as a result of the measles and consequently the Canadian government would not let the family come to Canada.) To the right of her son Gerhard is Mathilda Duerksen, sister to Lydia and aunt of Elvera (Bergen) Goerz. To the right of Mathilda is their son Peter and seated in front of him at the small table are their daughters Anna (called Njuta) at the right and Lydia to the left. In the middle is Martha, youngest daughter of the Duerksens (she has a white bow in her hair). David Duerksen, unmarried, stands behind his brother Martin. The family at the left may be another Duerksen family with Lisa, Gerhard? and their child. Standing behind Lydia Bergen is Mariechen Duerksen with her husband.
