      Sister was Gertrudis Aburuza - This person was a cousin of Isabel Chopitea who was on the same ship (22 May 1917) and also went to Boise. We find a Gertrudis Aburruza widowed in Mountain Home in the 1920 census. This Gertrudis would presumably have the last name of her husband. We find a Gertrudis Aburruza married to Andres Jayo on January 21, 1917 in Boise. Which makes sense because the passenger manifest indicates that she is going to a "friend" Jayo in Boise. Very confusing because the marriage date to Jayo is five months before her arrival date. Can't find a death for Gertrudis Jayo. She must have gone back to Europe. There is a passenger manifest for her coming back to the US from Lekeitio, Bizkaia in 1941.

      Gertrudis and Elena were sisters. Funeral information found for Elena "Helen" in The Basque Museum's collection gives her parents' names as Alexandro and "Mita" (Rita) Arrasate, the same as those of Gertrudis.

      We have been unable to find a passenger manifest for Elena.
