My natural Mother Biruta Mirta Grantovskis (Grantovska, Grantovskas, Grantoskas) arrived Melbourne aged 22 years, Australia on the 18 June 1949 on the ship General Langfitt which sailed from Naples, Italy. She came with her parents Frieis DOB:13 August 1892 and Lina DOB:19 Jan 1895 under the Displaced Person Program. I was adopted out approx 2 weeks after my birth 30 June 1950 and have only now just discovered this fact…WOW!
Biruta was born 9 September 1926 in Latvia.
In June 1950 Biruta lived in Merricks on the Mornington Peninsula an hours drive from Melbourne, Australia.
Her parents are both buried in the nearby Mornington Cemetery, both living to their early 90’s.
Any assistance in helping me locate Biruta or relatives would be greatly appreciated.
