Anna was born 23 Feb. 1890 in Tereblecea, a village that was then in the Duchy of Bukovina in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (but today is in Ukraine in the Chernivets'ka Oblast, near the city of Chernivtsi or Czernowitz/Cernauti). An ethnic Romanian, Anna was the third child of Ioan Pascariu and Iulita Dubau. Ioan's older brother Leon Pascar was the father of Eufrosina "Rose" Pascar Olar. Around 1907, Anna emigrated to Ontario, Canada. On 21 Nov. 1910 in Rainy River, Ontario, she married a fellow Romanian immigrant named Grigorie Buliga (Gregory or Gregor), son of Gheorg Buliga and Ecaterina Rusnaciuc. (One of the witnesses at Anna's marriage was Stefan Crusnitchi, whose uncle Petre Crusnitchi was married to Anna's aunt Fevronia Pascar, sister of Anna's father Ioan.) After their marriage, they moved to Baudette, Minnesota, where Gregor became a naturalised U.S. citizen. In Baudette, Gregor and Anna had three children: Catherine L., John George, and Mary Mena. Afterwards they moved to Pontiac, Michigan, where they had a fourth child, Lena Carolina. The 1940 U.S. Census also lists a son named Robert, born circa 1919, and a daughter named Esther, born circa 1921 -- but that they have non-Romanian names and were not listed among Gregor and Annie's children in the 1920 and 1930 census indicates that Robert and Esther were probably adopted during the 1930s. Gregor and Anna lived in Pontiac, Michigan, for the rest of their lives.
