Since I wrote the above, we have now confirmed this is my lost aunt Elena. I've created a WordPress blog to remember her and hopefully help us fill in the gaps in her life. It's at FindingElena.com.


I'm very grateful to this project.

I believe this to be my aunt Elena Folgado nee Boyd born about 1905 in Shanghai, China. Elena was a talented singer who was sent to the UK in 1920 at the age of 15 to continue her training. There she met a Spanish singing teacher Marti Folgado and married him in her early twenties. They subsequently moved to the US. Marti Folgado died in the early 1950s and the family lost touch with Elena in the 1970s, though we believe she died destitute. See her page on my Ancestry family treeĀ Elena Boyd
