Mamornitz : A History Of A Ukrainian Pioneer Community In Saskatchewan, 1900 - 1995

Born and raised in Mamornitz, a predominantly Ukrainian-speaking pioneer community northwest of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Jennie Zayachkowski draws on archival material, school and parish records, and interviews with surviving early residents to document the settlement's history. The account examines the settlement of each quarter section in Township 30, Ranges 6 and 7, west of the Second Meridian, recording the first homesteaders and subsequent improvements where information survives. Also covered are the development of School District No. 2266, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Assumption of the Holy Mother of God, and the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Parish of the Virgin of Sorrow, together with local customs and traditions.
