Daly House Museum is pleased to announce the opening of their latest exhibit Who’s in that Photo? Discovering Brandon’s Polish Roots in Photographs. The exhibit, on loan from Ottawa genealogist Frank Cedar, features 58 reproduced photos that shed an interesting light on immigration to Canada and the Prairies in the late 1800s. It focuses on Polish families with surnames such as Broda, Konieczny, Bojarski, Sowa, Dolny, Walchuk, Wielgosz, Lorenowics, and Koldziejczyk that came from a small village in south east Poland called Kazcyce to settle in Brandon, Manitoba and Melville, Saskatchewan. Unfortunately, the knowledge of some of the people in the images has been lost to time. Therefore, exhibit creator Frank Cedar is calling on the public to help him identify those individuals before he takes the exhibit to the Canadian Embassy in Poland. The exhibit on display now runs until April 30th, 2025. Daly House Museum located at 122-18th Street is open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
