Lattins and Winblad's in Cuba: Anton Winblad's parents Johan and Salmine moved to Cuba in 1910 from Jersey City, New Jersey. They were lured by the inexpensive land and the prospect that the island would become part of the United States. Anton married Eva Lattin, the daughter of Jarvis Lattin and Mary Puckett, who had come to Cuba for the same reason. Since farming didn't work out economically, Anton took a job as the postmaster for Santa Barbara. In 1914 Anton's parent both died on a trip to Norway and Sweden to visit their familes. Johan died on September 24, 1914 and Salmine on December 12, 1914, both in Farsund, Norway. On July 06, 1915, Anton and his wife, Eva returned to New York. They brought with them Eva's two brothers, Dewey Ernest Lattin I (1898-1985) and Theodore Roosevelt Lattin (1901-1980). In 1924 Eva and her sister, Julia Lattin (1880-1960) went to Cuba with Eva's son Earl Winblad (1916- ) for their parents 50th wedding anniversary on October 15, 1924. They returned to New York on November 08, 1924. Source: Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ), Written Testimony, May 24, 2003

December 29, 1980, 12:01 am, Harbor-UCLA Medical Foundation, 21840 Normandie Avenue, Torrance, Los Angeles County, California, 90502-2046, USA) Social Security Number 062058610. Norman was born on the Isle of Pines in Cuba to Anton (Anthony) Julius Winblad II (1886-1975) and Eva Ariel Lattin (1892-1939). Both Anton's and Eva's parents moved down to the island around 1909-1910 and bought farmland as speculators hoping that the island would become part of the United States. The ownership of the island had been in dispute since the Spanish American War and reverted back to Cuba in 1924. Norman had two brothers; Anthony (Roy) Leroy Winblad (1912-1970) also born in Cuba who married Ann Maria Zorovich (1912-1993), and Earl Vincent Winblad (1916- ) born in New York who married June (Hilda) Amanda Salisbury (1912-2003). In 1914 Norman's paternal grandparents both died on a trip to Norway and Sweden to visit their familes. Johan Winblad died on September 24, 1914 and Salmine (Olsdatter) Pedersen on December 12, 1914, both in Farsund, Norway. On July 06, 1915, Anton and his wife, Eva returned to New York with Norman and LeRoy. They brought with them Eva's youngest two brothers, Dewey Ernest Lattin I (1898-1985) and Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt Lattin (1901-1980). In 1920 Norman was living at 163 East 144th Street in the Bronx, New York City, with his mother, father and two brothers along with his mother's brothers Dewey and Teddy. In 1921 Charles Haley Williams (1884-1960) who was married to Norman's mother's sister, Myrtle Adelia Lattin (1884-1970) was the first in the family to move to California. In 1924 Norman's mother Eva and her sister, Julia Lattin (1880-1960) went to Cuba with Norman's brother Earl Winblad (1916- ) for their parent's 50th wedding anniversary on October 15, 1924. They returned to New York on November 08, 1924. In 1930 Norman was living at 422 Mott Avenue in the Bronx, New York City with his parents and he was working as a capenter's helper. In 1936 Norman took over his father's job as the superintendent of the apartment house on 2265 Morris Avenue in the Bronx in New York City, when his parents moved to 419 West 77th Street in Los Angeles in California. On March 14, 1937 Norman married Elanore Frieda Vogsberger (1911-1975) at the Elton Avenue Methodist Church at 79 Elton Avenue and 158th Street in the Bronx, New York City. They had four children; Norman Charles Winblad (1937- ), Raymond Frederick Winblad (1940-1984), Carol Elanore Winblad (1946- ), and the youngest Donald Anton Winblad (1950- ). On June 23, 1939, Norman's mother died and he went to California for the funeral and eventually moved there. He later opened a lawnmower repair shop in California. Norman had a heart attack while he was living at 3115-3117 Big Dalton Avenue in Baldwin Park in Los Angeles County on the night before Christmas Eve, December 23, 1980 and he died in the Harbor-UCLA Medical Foundation Hospital at 21840 Normandie Avenue in Torrance, California on December 29, 1980 and his body was cremated.
