wow... learned some cool family history this past week
 

my grand father was a police officer in estonia during WWII. One day he was at work and was notified that the comy bastard were waiting for his at his house.

So him and a few of his family member jumped on a ship and sailed to America:t:

He left behind 3 daughters and his wife. In the states, he learned as mush english as possible, struggled to make ends meet and started a family... he has 2 sons, my father and my uncle...

All my estonian family has since been unknowned to us. We had pictures but no names.

last week my pops and my uncle went to estonia for the first time. They made way to one of the locations in one of the pictures. They found my grandfathers old house... knocked on the door.

My fathers neice opened the door and he learned that the 2 oldest of his 1/2 sisters have since passed away. His neice is the same age as him.

I think its incredible interesting. We finally know who the people in the photos were. We are also giving them some money since they are rather poor.

I can;t wait til my pops gets home.

thats cool:Woot:

That is kickass, kickass (second one for Jon).

that's great that you found something on your family history. Kinda cowardly to leave his wife and kids like that though. Don't think I could'a done it.

cowardly?

he woulda been killed... end of story... would have done no good... and the soviet union didnt fall under after he passed away

I realize that, but still, leaving a wife and 3 kids behind! That's like having my family trapped in a burning house and not going in to help cause I'd get burned. Not bashing your family, just don't think I could'a done it!

no...

its more like go home and die and put your family in greater risk... or disapear and everyone is safe...

If there was a bunch of people waiting at your house for you and your family was fine... I highly doubt you'd go home... that would be plain retarded

there is a difference...

burning house = family at risk
communests at your house = no family risk

Greg, for some reason i read the title of the thread and expected to see this.

Where are you from originally? reason I ask is that you claim to be a redneck...and the confederate flag thing...and so on. You live in the armpit of the US...New Jersey. technically you are a Yankee. doesnt add up.

Sounds good man..

sounds amazing

you'd be surprised whats in NJ...

I live in the one barrens... starting to get populated... the only land left is all state reserves... but there is alot...

lemme put it this way... jackson is huge, mostly woods, and the only reason anyone knows where it is... is because of 6 flags... The KKK tried to buy 6 flags... lol so its perty redneck

Some ppl think that because I live in Ga. that I live in the country. When I lived in Oh. most ppl thought I lived on a farm or something.
