My ancestors are from the Rhine delta around Rotterdam and The Hague. My avatar isn't in Dutch it's German and it's a genuine humoristic toilet sign that was displayed in Paris in 1940. It says "he who must go can go there". You will notice the man who seems in a hurry and took a newspaper...
Dear friends Peppy and BigFun: My nick is Jan, a few of his motives are that the surname of one of my antecesors are of the land of the County of Ala, Saxony, Germany. Other antecesor, of the epoch of Carlos I de España y V de Alemania, surnamed Arnau go to Teruel. My Father Has blue eyes and very tall: 1.75 m, I am 1.92 m. Parachuter in 1948 First Course in Spain, with german materials and Ju-52 and Savoia-Marchetti for your jumps. In some photos same as German Soldier.
hey Jan! i'm gonna agree with the earlier post, i think it would help us to write your reply in your laguage and let us use our translator, something is getting mixed up somewhere!? thanks!!
Bigfun you'd be laughing even more if I told you I used to be your neigbour (and Otto's and Peppy's + etc..) when I lived in Wisconsin. I actually know the Loop quite well. Jan, any particular reason why choose Jan 7 a sa date?
wow! i'm in McHenry, IL, very close to the Wisconsin border, in fact i have alot of relatives in Wisconsin! where did you live?
Not, Skipper67. 7 is the sume of the ciphers of my birth and year of this. 7= 1+9+6+0 and my year = 1960 the date 1/9/60 -thinks of the born in the XXth Century-
Thanks jan7, I was hoping this was related to the bombing of Ludwigshafen on Jan7 1944. Bigfun. I lived in Milwaukee and remember a huge entertainement park on the road to Chicago near the Wisconsin border and not far from lake Michigan . I also used to go north towards Appleton and Greenbay to the lakes.
wow, that is funny, you are probably talking about the park where they have summerfest! i can't remember the name off the top of my head, im only about an hour from milwaukee! i used to go to greenbay every winter to do my christmas shopping in the malls in appleton, to beat the huge crowds around here!!! what brought you overseas? if you don't mind my asking.
7/1/44 sumes 1+7+4+4 = 16 = 1+6 = 7 -not 7/1/1944- One absolutly matematic "casualidad" Astrologic?, nothing of nothing.....
I had to ask just in case you had something to do with it. This is also a nice way to ask how old you are. Thanks for the explanation.
Sorry for the double post I clicked enter too fast. The reason why I know your area is because I did some research there when I was student in Milwaukee. I'm not talking about the Summerfest park there but about Six Flags in Illinois (If I remember the name correctly) .
The day before of this bombing you cite are celebrated in the catholic religion as the Adoration of Jesuchrist by the "Reyes Magos". And a sacrilege question, no? If are realizated that day In Spain, the children receives the Christmas presents and gifts the morning of these day from the "Reyes Magos".....
Are this: Lake County, Illinois Convention & Visitors Bureau - Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor
yep that's it! This brings old memories back. I remember getting lost at O'Hare looking for the Greyhound station at the arrival level, whereas it is in fact a level below , which is not visible when you leave the main hall. I used to commute from there to Wisconsin all the time.
that's the one Jan7!!! i used to go there quite a bit before it was taken over by Six Flags, still a great place, dont get me wrong, but the crowds are huge!!!
I remember some things of the lands near you: One buddy named Mary Jo, 25 years ago -born in Milwaukee The Great Lakes, boundary inter USA and Canada The trip of the U-505 to Chicago, means these lakes ..........and more that I am not express very well. Means Google Maps, I can show to all you my city, Collado Villalba, at 40 Km of Madrid where I born The virtual trips are nice, but the reals, more too. Means the Shortwave listening.....
