Anna was born in Lhorta, South Bohemia, Czechoslovakia (Bohemia) on May 10, 1861 to Matej Uhlir and Katerina Dobes. Anna was a twin to sister, Mary, and both were baptized the same day of their birth. The Uhlir family was living at house #18 in Lhorta at the time of the girls' birth. ^[1] Anna and Mary were the only children of Matej and Katerina that were born in Bohemia. On july 29, 1861, the Uhlir family arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on board the "Washington." Anna and Mary were only 2 months old.^[2] By 1870, the family is settled in Lanesburgh, Le Sueur, Minnesota. ^[3] This is where the family remains.

Anna married John Tuma on June 29, 1880 in Heidelberg, Le Sueur, Minnesota.
