A woman who recently celebrated her 103rd birthday believes that the secret to her longevity lies in her Russian roots. To solve this family secret she helped a trip to St. Petersburg. This is reported by 360.ru.
Her parents arrived in California on a ship from Russia on July 1, 1923. They were among the first 526 Russian settlers to arrive in the state. A few months later, the couple had a daughter.
The American woman directly connects her longevity with the family history. In 2009, she visited St. Petersburg and met a relative of her mother. She showed her a picture of her father, who also lived to be 103.
“You know, the interesting thing is that I never thought I would live such a long life. So in this regard, my roots come from my Russian relatives, she shared.
