Anna Mssrur and her husband made many Uyghur friends, the people who are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Northwest China, before they left in 1900  to visit Sweden and eventually to Persia.
She married Persian-born doctor Josef Massrur in Kashgar in May 1895, and they worked together in Yarkand. They made many Uyghur friends, and Raquette writes that fifteen years later that they were well remembered by many Uyghurs. The couple left in 1900 for a visit to Sweden, arriving there on November 2 of that year. In the autumn of 1901 they left Sweden, and returned to Persia, Josef's homeland, where Anna lived until just before her death, when she returned to Sweden. The Uyghurs are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Northwest China.
