For the sake of brief entries, I am not footnoting the facts in this ongoing memorial. Sources have been noted either in other blog posts or in my family history books.

January 1962: Marija Jurikas Freiberg died in Port Arthur, Ontario.
She was two months short of her 90th
birthday when she died, and had suffered from a form of dementia in
her last years. Marija had lived at Krumini farm, Limbazi parish,
Latvia; St. Petersburg, Russia; New York City; and finally settled to
domestic life in Canada. She was my maternal grandmother; more
information was written about her here.

January [Julian calendar]1843: Ansis Freibergs of Koneni farm,
Kastrane, Latvia, married Trute Grunfeld at Malpils Lutheran Church.
They were my great-great-grandparents.
11
January [Julian calendar] 1798: Jurri Jurikas of Allika farm, Tori
parish, Estonia, died. He had married Marri, daughter of Peet,
probably of a farm known as Tohivere nor Tohera or Tehver. Research
in this family grouping is incomplete (and difficult without surnames
in usage---to be another story) but for the one firm date. Jurri and
Marri were my 4th great-grandparents.

Neat idea! I recently blogged about my grandmother, on the anniversary of her death and I might try to do a similar post on my great grandmother's birthday later this month. Might get me posting more regularly in my genealogy blog!
My face is red. You will see I just "discovered" your village blog. I look forward to reading your ancestral tales. And training myself to be more observant :-)
