Geverstraat 11 - Oegstgeest.
Arrival date:
10-07-1922, at the Formosastraat 22 - Leiden.
(Before 1902, was the name of the street ''Maria Wilhelminastraat.)
My Dad (91 years) remember her as a very kind person.
He was named her aunty Willie.
Later they have lived at The Lombokstraat number 1.

He is not sure were she was going to.
