1927

Yes, as that is - until the fifth year, I do not know anything. And - - - my parents bought a small property in 1908, just a little. You have nothing to do with. And then there are four - four brothers and sisters before the war, before the First World War, and a sister in the 16-years is born. The father had to enlist, because a small farmer, of course, even then had no chance to free himself. And even then it was actually the mother alone with her four children, the whole war. And the father has come down in Bosnia in captivity, got malaria, was seriously ill and could then probably come home. But - and then it was time to start again almost new. But then there was nothing else. It was only a peasant can marry or a craftsman. Someone who had no income, could not marry, .. which he had supplied the children? Of course, unmarried children were well. You see when it was in the same house, .. may remain, perhaps. If not - they have .. must ensure that they are included in any farmer who may have had fewer children or none at all. Even that was - is not possible. And it's just been in the youth.
