Pauline was born in Kars, Russia to Nicholas Daniel Seminoff (Nikolai Danilovich Seminishev) 1860-after 1914 and Doonya Vasilivna Pahomova (abt 1857-1922). She is one of nine known children: John, Hazel, Pauline, James, Jack, Alex, Anastasia, Michael, and Alice.

She married William Joseph Asayvich Shubin before 1908 in Russia. Her family immigrated in 1913 from Russia. They have nine children: John, Lenore, Nicholas, Mary, William, Pearl, Stephen, Dorothy, and James.

The 1920 U.S. federal census shows the family living in Maricopa County, Arizona. They were farmers. By 1930, the family lived on Potrero Hill in San Francisco, CA at 892 Missouri Street. William worked in a junk shop.

Lived in the pink house off the freeway in Petaluma, CA. She would make wonderful Russian Blintzes that my mother loved.
Also, my first remembered smell of "country" which I love was from that house.
