Beach People Revisited: 1920s

The same three women previously seen on the beach, gather on the dunes with rubber swim caps and bathing suits. The place is probably Lithuania. The date is some time in the 1920s. My best guess at who these people are, is my grandmother’s two older sisters and her mother (center). That would have made them my mother’s aunts and grandmother. Because they lived in Vilna (now named Vilnius) and my mother lived in Brooklyn, New York, she and these relatives never met.
