Travelling Cabin class

Aha!
The address on the naturalisation record is 566 Orange Avenue, Yuma - that's the address Elsa visited in 1952-3.

So Anna was definitely Elsa Licis / Zatler / Hartshorn's sister, and their parents were Jules and Anna..

Lisa - if you know anyone in the US, get them to find Anna Vitolins' address from whitepages (assuming she's still alive - now 104-5) if you think she might be a sister of Elsa.

There's also a younger Anna Vitolins living in Yuma - maybe a grand-daughter ??


EDIT:
No - Anna 1911 died last year:

The findagrave link says she arrived in Yuma in 1950 - that would fit with Elsa going to visit her in 1952.

Life story of Anna Vitolins (nee Licis) of Yuma, born 1911, in Valmera, Latvia, same place as Elsa.

http://tinyurl.com/gol6t6t

Interesting life-story - with parents' names - and she had sisters.

This isn't the same Anna as died in 1971, and is nearer Elza in age than the other one, so they might be sisters. Possibly the one who died in 1971 could be their mother ??


EDIT:

Whitepages.com still lists the Anna born 1880 and died 1971 - says she's 136!

As Elsa / Elza had been visiting Yuma, Arizona in 1952-3, I wonder if this is some relation ??

She's buried in the same cemetery as Elza. (EDIT: Actually, I think it's a crematorium garden of remembrance.)
