I am not sure who this is. I will ask my dad to see if he remembers this person. My email address is skcrandall@cox.net. If you would don't mind sharing your hard work than I would love to see the Seminoff/Kanihan family tree. My uncle had hired a geneaologist and has found some information as well. I will see if I can get a hold of that as well and we can combine our information. This is so great! thanks so much.

Kelly, I believe I found another son for Dimentee Kanihan.

William D. Kanihan
born 1884
died 1928

I found his headstone at Olivet Memorial Park. I can't find a death record. Do you know of him?

Pictures attached of headstone.

Kelly.......Hi........A BIG yes! We are 3rd cousins (1 removed). Your GG Grandmother is Proskovya Danilovna Seminishev. Her brother (my Great Grandfather) is Nicholas Danilovich Seminishev. Notice that the Americanized surname is Seminoff or Semenoff. Nicholas and Proskovya had another brother, Peter Daniel Seminoff. He stayed in Russia, but two of his sons came to America (Alex and William). One trait that is very evident is the height of the Seminoff's. GGrandfather Nicholas was about 6'5". My son is 6'5". My grandmother was a Nicholas' daughter and all of her siblings are tall.

Send me your email address and I will send you a GEDCOM for Seminoff and Canihan. I can also mail you a CD with my father's Poppin/Seminoff book. It's about 350 pages long and tells all about the Seminoff family. After we connect, you can send me your snail mail address.

I use Family Tree Maker.

skcrandall — 2008-07-26 06:15:45Z

Hi Nancy,
Wow! I have read all of your posts and you must be related to me. I believe one of the Seminoff's is my great grandfather's mom. My great grandfather's name is Alex Dimitri Kanihan. Do you have any more information about him and when they came from Russia? Have you been able to get any russian records? My dad grew up on Potrero hill too (Bob Canihan). Maybe you knew him? Anyway, You have done so much work. This is great information. I really appreciate that you have posted it all. I just started doing geneaology and didn't think I would find anything for the Kanihans. I am so excited!!
Thanks!

Suzette, I'm responding to a 2002 post............

After reading Megan's post, I did more searching.

I found:
1930 U.S. Federal Census - California
Los Angeles County, Calabassas Township
ED 862, sheet 2A, page 186
April 24, 1930
Old Topango Road

Applegate, Lewis, lodger, age 30, divorced, born in Kansas, father born in Kansas, mother born in Missouri, occupation: laborer: odd jobs

Intent to Marry:
Applegate, Lewis, age 32, and Holopoff, Mary, age 21; Intent to Marry, LA Times, 12/21/1932, page 14

Also information about Lewis' brother: Fred Lewis Applegate

CADI: APPLEGATE FRED L 1903 07 29 CASEY MALE KA SAN DIEGO 1961 08 23 560147228 58

Intent to Marry: Applegate, Fred L., age 27 and Federoff, Mary, age 18; Intent to Marry, LA Times, 11/14/1930, page 18

Interesting they both married Russian girls.

I show that Lewis and Mary had Mary Ann and Peter.

Possible info:
Mary Ann md. John V. Judge = Gregory
Peter md. Phullis June Brown in Nevada

thebonedigger — 2006-08-27 19:20:50Z

Thank you Nancy. I hope this is not a duplicate message. I have a lot of information on my Mom's parents Peter and Sarah Bogdanoff that goes back to 1800 but my Dad's side is very sketchy. With about 10 different spellings of Mackshanoff I don't know if I am related to any of them or not. I was born and raised on Potrero Hill and graduated from Mission High in 1966 so we are the same age. Are you related to the Poppin's that owned the grocery store at the top of the hill? I think all the Russians on the hill are related to eachother in some way, either by blood or marriage. My family names are Rudometkin, Loscutoff, Soriakoff, Shubin, Susoeff and a lot more. Thanks again Nancy.

There was a Canihan family that lived at the top of Carolina Street on Potrero Hill, SF. Karen was the youngest daughter of Bill & Edith; her older brothers are William and Robert (I'm pretty sure). Her grandmother Canihan lived on the Hill until she died, I think in the 60's.

Hi Paula...just saw your post on the Seminoff board. I have the same family names as you do. We'll have to share more information about our families.

Re: SEMINOFF Message Board

2003-12-13 02:58:15Z

The best I can tell, there are some Kanihan's who are related to my aunt and uncle (Alex Nicholas Seminoff and Anna John Poppin). Alex and Anna lived in Santa Rosa. There are also some Kanihans related to my Papin side.

My family is from Potrero Hill in San Francisco. I do have a tree for your family. Would you like to share information. There may be a possibility that we can connect the two Kanihan families. Some of them also spelled it as Canihan.

Sincerely,
Nancy Poppin Posey

Nancy, when I saw your Poppin and Seminoff message boards my heart gave a leap. After the many, many hours I have been searching for information, hopefully you can help me. I have been search for Mary Halopoff, born August l, 1911 on the high seas coming from Russia. Her birthplace is stated to be Los Angeles and her roots are in the east valley, the locations of which were stated on your board. Mary married Lewis Applegate and continued to live in and around the L.A. area for a while. For instance, they lived in Glendora. Her year of marriage could be about 1930 to 1933. I vaguely remember going to a funeral in the east valley for a woman I thought was her mother. It was the summer of 1961. Her husband passed in 1981 in Santa Rosa, but I don't believe Mary has passed yet because I can find no information on her at all and she had a social security number.

I've given you the information I have, Nancy. I was up against a stone wall yesterday, but maybe you'll be able to pass some information on to me. And, of course, if it all fits, I'll pass on her children's information on to you, if you want.

Thanks so much,
Suzette

I have 14 Makshanoff files, but no Mackshanoff's. I have access to the 1980, 1988, 1996 and 2000 Molokan directories. There are Mackshanoff families in them.

I'm from San Francisco. My grandparents went to the Molokan church on Potrero Hill. (Poppin & Seminoff families)

Perhaps there are other names that I can help you with. I do have a Peter and Sarah (Rudometkin) Bogdanoff. Are those your grandparents? I can send you the information if you need it.

From the CABI, I can tell you and I are about the same age. I graduated from Mercy High in 1964.

Sincerely,

My father was Paul Mackshanoff and my mother Nadia Bogdanoff. I was born and raised in San Francisco. My grandparents Peter and Sarah Bogdanoff were very active in the Molokan church. I have been trying to research the Mackshanoff side of my family for several years. I did find a Mary Semikoff that died in June 1995, her father was Mackshanoff and mother Kobzeff but I don't know either of their first names. I just started ancestry.com and feel a bit lost.

Hey, I found this message on accident. My pop's family is from Potrero Hill, my grandmother still lives there. Far as I know they are Bakholdins, the Susoev was my grandfather. We have relatives in Kermin, Fresno, LA, and Washington...but the majority of my family is from San Francisco-Potrero Hill. I dunno if this is relevant to your search...if you have specific questions I can refer you to my aunt, she's really into the family history.

My godfather is also from The Hill, he's a Bogdanoff/Poppin. His mom still lives there, but I'm not too sure about the rest.

I surfed onto this site - was surprised to find my husband's family tree listed! Was surprised to find me and our daughters not listed! I am married to John Jay Eropkin (1949). My name is Linda Elaine Valoff Eropkin (1950). We have 2 daughters - Anastasia Heather Eropkin (1982), and Elisabeth Lynn Eropkin (1985). Don't know that this would matter to anyone, but I thought I'd add this info.

Hi Nancy.
I may be the contact that Suzzette spoke of, I think.
If Suzette has your e-mail address, she can send my address to you. We can comunicate that way for the time being.
Let me know if this is ok with you.

Hello,
You have placed about all the Russian Molokan last names I know on your list, lol. My grandmother was a Baholdin and her sister married and is still living in San Francisco, if that is any help. My last name is Kostrikin, but I didn't think that I was related to Seminoff's, where did you get all the information on your board? I knew that all Molokans were related, but that is alot of names for one family, you may want to narrow it down a bit. Are you part of the Molokan Church, or did you marry-out? Hope you could find more information on your family.
