While the ''Syracuse Herald'' (Syracuse, NY), 20 Jun 1920 went over the top, devoting three-fourths of a page to a photo of guests, a large picture of Juanita, a smaller one of Sohrab, and a long article [http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=view&dbid=8564&iid=NEWS-NY-SY_HE.1920_06_20_0122&rc=1171,7025,1571,7142;5549,8746,5981,8863;6043,8746,6475,8863;971,13271,1260,13363;2804,11142,3200,11230;1529,16075,1840,16167;1996,17725,2346,17817;3988,15175,4288,15267&fn=&ln=Record+Juanita+Storch&st=d&ssrc=&pid=482562170 here], which I will transcribe [[Sohrab1|here]].

Ahmad and Juanita had one child, a girl Laila J in 1921. Ahmad and Juanita were divorced ~~sometime before~~ the 1930 census~~, where~~ Juanita Sohrab and her daughter Laila are living with her mother Johanna Storch in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Juanita and Laila lived for some years in Santa Rosa, with Laila showing up in Passenger Lists giving her address as Santa Rosa, at late as 1953. They moved eventually to Seattle, where the Social Security Death Index shows Juanita living with Laila, but Juanita either moved back to Sonoma County or at least died there in 1995. Laila was still living in Seattle as late as 2002 under the name "Laila Storch".

Ahmad and Juanita had one child, a girl Laila J in 1921. Ahmad and Juanita were divorced either while Juanita was pregnant or within a year after Laila was born. A site visitor tells me that Laila never met her father.

In the 1930 census Juanita Sohrab and her daughter Laila are living with her mother Johanna Storch in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Juanita and Laila lived for some years in Santa Rosa, with Laila showing up in Passenger Lists giving her address as Santa Rosa, at late as 1953. They moved eventually to Seattle, where the Social Security Death Index shows Juanita living with Laila, but Juanita either moved back to Sonoma County or at least died there in 1995. Laila was still living in Seattle as late as 2002 under the name "Laila Storch".

Although Sohrab wrote an Autobiography which covers his life up to when he joined up with [[Julia Lynch Olin|Mrs Julia Chanler]], he does not appear to mention his wife nor daughter, which is perhaps a bit odd.

A reader of this page tells me that : "Laila Storch, the daughter of Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, has lived in Seattle for many decades, and has been a lifetime member of the Baha'i Faith. She is a retired music professor from the University of Washington (oboe). You can find quit a few references to her career online. She never knew her biological father, M.A. Sohrab, because her mother separated and divorced Sohrab before she was born or while she was still an infant. I have met Laila a number of times through the years and she really knows nothing about her biological father other than what everyone else knows from books, and she really prefers not to discuss him. The marriage of Laila's mother, Ms. Juanita Storch to Sohrab was written about and photographed for either Baha'i News or Star of the West magazine, I forget which. The late Juanita Storch also wrote memoirs about her meeting with 'Abdu'l-Baha (World Order, 25.1 ; Fall 1993)."

+

A site visitor tells me that : "Laila Storch is married to violinist Martin G. Friedmann. Her daughter from that marriage is violinist Aloysia Cecile Friedmann who married pianist Jon Kimura Parker in 1998. (For a number of years, Laila went by the name Laila Friedmann so far as the Seattle Baha'i records show, but for about the past twenty years has gone by the name Laila Storch)."
