Husband: Abdallah

Children: 5 children

Life and her family: Born in 1926, in Riga, capital of Latvia. Rute’s parents both come rom Gaujiena-Valka side in North Latvia, very close to the Estonian border. Her father’s Arnold’s Punte family (back in older generations from his father’s Julius Punte side) comes from Estonia, but mother Marija the most likely comes from Latvia. Arnold was baptised as a Lutheran, Marija – as an Orthodox, their both daughters were baptised in the Orthodox church. Rute had 5 years older sister Mirta. Before children were born, the parents moved to Riga and lived in different addresses not far from the city centre, but in working class areas (Valmieras, Maskavas, Palīdzības, Krišjāņa Barona street and others). Arnold’s worked as a locksmith. Not far from them lived Arnold’s brother’s Voldemārs family. Voldemārs worked on railway, and later Arnolds start to work on railway as well, as a engine-driver’s assistant. During the census in 1935. both sisters with parents live in Valmieras street, father works as a railman, the kids attend school. They still have lots of connections to their relatives in Estonia (parents spoke Latvian, Estonian, German and Russian languages, and in the passports of all family members are lots of Estonian boarder-crossing stamps – in Estonia lived godparents of Mirta. During census 1941 (also during the WWII) Mirta Punte was already married to an actor Artūrs Vilks, who worked in Riga, but he also had his family house in Gaujiena. They had a newborn baby Irīda. Almost all the Mirta’s family except her daddy during the summer holidays moved from Riga to Gaujiena “Jaunrāmnieki” house that belonged to Artūrs family. The most likely Arnolds and Marija after WWII (when Latvia became a part of USSR) moved back to Gaujiena. 30 years later, in 1971, they celebrated their 50th wedding-anniversary along to other couples from Gaujiena. Arnold’s died on 1973, Marija – on 1975. Presumable Mirta and Artūrs together or separated lived in Jelgava, where Artūrs worked at theatre, and maybe later in Riga again. Rute left Latvia during the World War 2 with a bike. She crossed through Germany, she worked a while on a German railway, until find a way to leave and she went to France. In Clermont Ferrand city in France. she’s got married. They had 5 children, and the family managed a hotel and restaurant in Clermont. Rute’s/Ruth’s husband was murdered during the war with Algeria. Ruth sold everything and went to Paris. She died of a tumour around 1985.
