I don't recall having bunnies but we definitely had baby chicks and duckies . When I was around or 10 or 11 my Mom took me to the garage and said if you expect to get a good husband you will have to know how to butcher a chicken. And with that she whacked his head off and put a bucket over him until he quit jumping around. Freaked out, I told my Mom I am NEVER getting married ! Oh but that chicken tasted so good that night! I also remember mom cooking up diced onions in lard then adding chicken blood and the chopped up liver. So good! Good memories. Makes me really miss my parents.

Grüße List members... I am looking for information on HAUMANN Jakob (born ~1902) in Palanka. father: HAUMANN Andreas (1869-1942) mother: REHLINGER Anna (1875-1932) I'm looking for a more precise birthdate and the name of a spouse if he married in Palanka (and also if there is a record of him leaving in 1924 or 1925). Thank you in advance. Johann (Hans) Haumann
