    ”Mrs. Fogelmanis, now In charge of the music department at the Tressler Orphan’s Home, is a native of Latvia. She Is the daughter of a Lutheran minister and was graduated from the University of Riga Conservatory of Music, the music center of Eastern Europe.”

    Daina’s maiden name was Maldonis.

    Not sure if you got everything correct. John Gleeson, my grandfather, was almost certainly born in the US (circa 1867) His father, Patrick, was likely born in Ireland. He appears in the Census of 1835 as over 30, unable to read or write.


    Oddly enough I don’t know what my grandmothers maiden name was. I can say with some certainty that it was not Jones. That was the last name of her second husband.

    As an aside, my father “Joseph Wilson Gleeson” always denied that Joseph was part of his name. He , I think, chose to redefine who he was. I don’t know what naming scheme his father used, but the man I knew as Uncle Jimmy was in fact Martin James Gleeson. Go figure.
