Research notes

  • Confidence: High: baptism and marriage found.
  • Earlier notes called 22 Jul her baptism date; it is her birth date. She was baptised on 5 Aug.
  • Living on 22 Dec 1929 (daughter Ida's marriage); later life not in Saaga (see K-008).
  • At her marriage (1907): a maid of Neu-Bornhusen (Uue-Pornuse), aged 23, parents Peter and Anu both living. Purtsak godparents at her children's baptisms (Ann 1908, Martin 1910) are probably her siblings (U-013).
  • Death not found: no death note in the Karksi household book to 1932; no grave on kalmistud.ee.
