    message = Hi, My father was born in Hirsch in 1914 to Joseph and Mary Tustanowski. 
 His family left around 1917. 
I am presently writing a small book on his life
 and therefore doing some research which is what led me to your site. 
 Couldn't find the name on the 1911 Census.   
   There is still an annoying 'Capital One' pop-up on your site. 
   Thanks for your efforts to preserve some history.     Ron

as you can now see Ron, no more annoying ads!!!

This was listed as the corner stone on the synagogue in Hirsch. 
 I really loved your site thanks!  I am learning so much!

glad you learned something.

Tue 16/08/2005 6:45 AM-  Hello. My name is Arthur Muscovitch.
I'm the son of Alec Muscovitch,
 to whom you referred in your historical sketch of Hirsch.
Your article was referred to me by my son, Zak Muscovitch,
who was a very young boy and was present and gave a speech,
on behalf of my father Alec, who was ill at the time,
at the dedication of the Hirsch Jewish cemetery.
I am happy to give you permission, on behalf of my family,
to include and make reference to my father's book.
 Best regards, Arthur Muscovitch
Thanks Arthur

In 2003 I had an inquiry from Dawn Aisenstat re her Uncles the  Kleiman brothers
It was to do with what she thought was a link I had on the site, but it was just the little note
about them in my personal stuff.  sorry for the confusion Dawn

Even had an inquiry from Israel on Oct 8, 2003
My name is Jeremy and I am writing to you from Jerusalem, Israel.   I am currently involved in writing an educators guide to Jewish sites in Western Canada and plan to include a chapter on the farming colony in Hirsch.    Having seen your website, I was wondering if you have any contacts with people near there (do you live near there)?  I shall be visiting on October 17th arriving in Regina in the morning and hiring a taxi to take me there. lternatively, do you have any pointers as to where I should go specifically.  Do you know if there is open access to the cemetery?   with many thanks,    Jeremy Leigh
Wonder how his book made out?

Comments: My grandfather and father were farmers in the Lipton Colony and I was born in Regina. While working on an article describing the history of the Lipton Colony I learned a great deal about Hirsch, and about the other Jewish farm colonies in Saskatchewan. It's a pleasure to drop in. Hope your book on Hirsch sees the light of day. Ted F.

Comments: My cousin Donna tells me there was 2 stores in Hirsch, the Campbell store, and the Backman store, which was west of Campbells store on the same road, the old Highway. I was under the impression Campbells store was Backman's prior, now with Ilana's note below and Donna's info we know different. Thanks to both.
If anyone knows where the first Jewish school was located, and a picture of it maybe, please contact me.
Thanks for signing here, and adding these pieces of History. Eventually we will have a comple historical package of the Village.
