Name listed as nearest living relative in "Olkenik, Wilna" was G. Urbasewski. Could this be the original and correct surname?? It does not specify the relation. Final destination is listed as Boston, Mass. She had only $5. and was going to a cousin, H. Nosal, at 16 Grover Street, Boston, Mass. She is listed as 4' 11 1/2" with fair complexion, brown hair and eyes. She was 18 years old.

      According to her Passport, which was issued 4/29/1933, Sarah was in Germany on May 6, 1933. She had a visa to visit Poland from June 7 to June 26. She was in Rotterdam on June 25. She reentered the United States on December 17, 1933. Her passport was amended in the US Consulate in Warsaw, Poland and indicated her name was now Sarah D. Bashkowitz Radunski, as of December 6, 1933. Another document found says that she was married in December 1933 and that her husband died Sept. 26, 1941. According to Uncle Herb and Grandpa Irving, they do not remember ever seeing or hearing of a husband of their Aunt Sarah. Grandma Adeline does remember asking Lillian about this and was told that she had been married for a short time.
