About Rita Lowe

Born in Kovno according to the shipping records when she emigrated to South Africa. She always claimed she was born in Suwalk, Poland on Dec 10, 1911. However her date of birth in the Hamburg shipping lists is March 12. 1912.

Naturalised Pretoria 2 Oct 1920 (No. 5714). This must be an error, given the information below.

She sailed from Hamburg with her mother and her 3 siblings on 15 Nov 1921 on the DOA liner USSUKUMA bound for Cape Town. Passenger list is extant in the Mormon records.

The above naturalization certificate is therefore an anomaly.
