Mother: We came to Gor’kovskoe because my grandparents live here and we want to be closer to them.

I want to tell you about my grandparents, mother’s parents.

 My grandmother’s name is Valentine Epina. She was born in 1943. In her family there were seven children, five of them died, because of illness-scarlet fever. In family stayed two children- my grandma and her elder brother Nicolai. Great grandfather died when grandma was three years old, so my great grandmother Anna brought up children herself. The war time was hard. She worked hard, but they starved.

 When grandma was 16, she went to Tara to study in a technical college, but she did not graduate it. She worked at our local hospital, now she is a pensioner.

 My grandmother has two children - son Vladimir and daughter Olga - my mother.

 My grandfather’s name is Ilya Epin. He was born in 1935 in Perm. He was 6 when the World War 2 began. He lost his mother and his father married again. Grandmother and grandfather brought him up.

 When grandpa was 18, he went for an army.

When he came back, he married for the first time. From this marriage my grandpa has a son Evgeni. Now we know nothing about him.

 My grandpa has been living for 10 years in town called Bereznyaki and worked on factory. Then he studied a welder and went to Gor’kovskoe. Here he married my grandma and this year there will be 25 years of their marriage. I love them so much and want them to live together for a long time.

About Us

We welcome you!  This blog is formed as a result of an iEARN Project where we collaborate with other schools to share knowledge and learn more about each other.  We became curious about where in the world our ancestors came from and where the ancestors of our partner schools came from.  We began to think about immigration patterns in the world and why people move to other areas to live.  We welcome you to share and add to our exploration of the histories of our families and thier homes.  As you scroll through the entries, you will learn more about us, our families and the places we came from.
