| Anna Vidunas 1940 census Manhattan Borough, NYC |
Here we find her in Manhattan working Private Duty as a Registered Nurse. She's living with her roommate, Lillian Miller, who is also a Private Duty Nurse. They are both 23 years old, renting what might be an apartment. Neither one of them attend school anymore, but we see they had four years of college. Anna is from Pennsylvania, and Lillian is from Connecticut. Anna was living in Kingston in 1935.

1946
Anne Mary Vidunas and George Beretsky II marry
Ok. So I know, somehow, that they married about this time. But I cannot for the life of me tell you how I KNOW they married. I don't have proof of any kind. If you know where I can find that proof, let me know by using the contact form on the right.
So, apparently I do have a tertiary form of proof that she was married before 11 June 1946 because of this little article. She is listed as living on Nesbitt street in Larksville. We will take a look at that address in the next post.
