Help[Opinions] Re: Frida?
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
It's too bad that she didn't quite make it to 100 although it sounds like she was quite ready.
My great grandmother Ella Frieda was first generation American born. Her parents were from the Holstein area of Germany which is near the border with Denmark. Her mother was Maria Dorothea but when she moved to America she started going by Mary and then later Marie. I wonder how common Frieda/ Frida was in Germany around that time. I definitely think that Maria was probably very popular.
I found Maria Dorothea's gravesite online. I think that I should try to go there some day. I'd also love to go to Germany some day.
