Shchedrin family researcher Marcia Metlin obtained the booklet The History of the Family Golodetz, written by Lazar Golodetz, the grandson of Chaim Golodetz and translated from the German by Dr. Shlomo Noble, Secretary, YIVO Commission on Research.
It was Chaim who purchased the estate that ultimately housed the entire Golodetz family in the compound they called the "court", as well as the township of Shchedrin. The booklet can be read here.
The following photographs were taken at the Shchedein Estate in the village of Shchedrin, Minsk, Belarus in 1890. They appear in History of the Family Golodetz, published at New York in 1954. Yivo supplied Andrew Sverdlove with the following images of the hunting lodge, the main house, and the village band in February 2015.

The above table includes only the second generation. This one had again a large progeny. Raising them was not expensive. There were many servants and maids available. Thus the population of the "court" attained toward the end of the last century some 200 members. Life there was gay and astir.
Photography was taboo to the religious Jews of those days. There were no cameras available. Only grandmother Dvoyra, in her old age, was persuaded to consent to be photographed. Regrettably, I do not have that photograph. Neither do I have a photograph of Shtchedrin or of the "court," Yet the picture of the "court" and of the Township is very vivid before my eyes. I could draw a sketch of the Golodetz settlement, showing the location of the houses and the adjoining grounds.
