I am sharing this on Facebook for my family as I recently came across some pix of my Mothers eldest sister - Anna Katrina - mostly known as Katrina or Tina ...she lived to celebrate her 100th birthday in 1996 with a letter from the Queen. Anyways i was there for her 100th and she was still as bright as a button...She was the eldest of 11 children and outlived all her siblings. She was born in Denmark in 1896. Emigrated to Australia with my grand parents in 1917 when my mother Josephine Anna was born on the ship. My mothers mother died having my mother (in childbirth) so as a young 21 yo Aunty Tina took charge and kept all of the girls together in a Salvation Army orphanage in Sydney refusing to allow any of the girls to be adopted or separated. She was a legend.
