Some Sprogis in Sac

While attending a May funeral at the East Lawn Memorial Park off Folsom Blvd. in Sacramento, my sisters happened upon some known and unknown Sprogis ancestors upstairs.

Look to the pictures in the Cemetery reference above. Note the - over the "a" in Janis, which is also said to be the Latvian form of John. Note also the accent over the "g" in Sprogis... Carl Sprogis had a brother named John, who married Veronika, so this is a good thing.

I looked these up on Ancestry and found Janis/ John Sprogis was born on the 18th of December 1875 in "Russia", and died on the 5th of February 1954 in Sacramento. HIS MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME WAS MEDNIS. (So we can assert that Carl Sprogis' mother's maiden name was the same) Veronika was born on the 31st of October 1901 and died in Sacramento on the 23rd of July, 1996. She only got her social security card in 1951, a late bloomer.

There was another Sprogis we found, Haralds of Latvia, he was born on the 8th of March 1912 in "another country"(the California Death Index says) and he died on the 29th of March 1982 in Sacramento. Who is HE related to?...
