Mr. Rankin. Are they—I mean in comparison with your age. Were they three or four years older than you?
Mrs. Oswald. My brother is 5 years younger than I am. My sister is probably 9 years younger than I am. About four years between brother and sister.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether your stepfather was a member of the Communist Party?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. That is, you don't know, or you know he was not?
Mrs. Oswald. No, I know that he was not a member.
Mr. Rankin. Did you live for a period with your mother alone?
Mrs. Oswald. No. After my mother's death, I continued to live with my stepfather, and later went to live in Minsk, with my uncle—my mother's brother.
Mr. Rankin. What was your stepfather's name?
Mrs. Oswald. Alexandr Ivanovich Medvedev.
