TOUTONGHI - BACKGROUND - REQUIRES CONFIRMATION
The only Toutonghi ever listed in the Social Security death index is Lorice.
Lorice was born in 1907. Her last address was San Pedro CA.
Her last benefits were sent to Seattle Washington.
Lorice died in 1991
We do not know the year she married P. E. Toutonghi.
He was born in 1899 in Iskenderun Turkey.
He lived to be 101 years old.
He died July 7, 2000 in Seattle Washington.
Before P. E. Toutonghi arrived in the USA there was no Toutonghi’s in the states… actually I believe the name is a creation of its owner… or a named assigned to him. 9 years after his death and he is not in the SS death index.
There are zero records of anyone by the last name immigrating from Turkey, or any other country that I can find.
I believe the true born identity of this man is published in a French literary publication because. his obituary tells us, he won first prize for poetry in the late 1920’s.
He was a member of Academy of Floral Games, that’s the English translation, it’s history is long and rich. They awarded the prize.
The poem and the name of the author is in a book that I have not yet located.
The name of the poem is,” Immaculate” (yes, as in conception)
Taking directly from his obituary;
Fluent in: French, Arabic, Italian, Latin,
Greek and English.
He taught French and Latin at
Seattle Prep, Seattle University, and Gonzaga University,
where he retired at age 66.
He continued teaching language arts in California until age 72.
Remembrances may be made to the Jesuits Seminary Fund,
c/o Provincial Curia, 2222 N.W. Hoyt Ave., Portland, (the address is a residential condo complex.)
He had 4 daughters. 2 live in California, 1 lives in Seattle, and the other in Texas.
He had 3 sons – Joseph and John from Seattle, and Michael of California.
The wife of Joseph, in 1961 ends up living below Mrs. Anna Obama in a basement apartment in the Capitol Hill section of Seattle.

Toutonghi used to baby-sit President Obama when she was neighbors with his mother.
Toutonghi was living in Seattle at the time, in the early 1960s. Her husband was going to school at Seattle University, and she was a stay-at-home mom with their 18-month-old daughter.
They lived in a three-story house that had been converted into three inexpensive apartments. Toutonghi and her family lived in the basement apartment, and Ann Dunham — Obama’s mother — lived in the apartment directly upstairs.
