Faina Khorunzhenko's grandfather Moisey Zamb

My grandfather Moisey Zamb. The photo was taken in Golta in a private studio by photographer Kunin. It was taken at the beginning of the 20th century. The exact date is unknown. I never knew my grandparents on my mother's side, because they died before I was born. My grandfather died at the beginning of 1916, while grandmother Pesya died back in 1911. They lived in what today is the town of Pervomaisk. It used to be called Golta. This city consists of three parts - Golta, Bogopol, and Olveopol. My mother was born there. My grandfather had his own house. They were quite rich because my grandfather - even though it sounds strange for that time - was a manager for a rich landowner and industrial businessman. They had a large family - seven children.
