Quoting: SouthBend, Post #1 my grandmother is 100%
stories he says, I am queen of stories and experiences that are long and boring!
lol like this?
MyG- Grandfather Antoni was a Miller, had 7 children, his first wife had died during
childbirth, her parents had died, and he inherited the mill , 5 of these seven children
were my G-Grandmothers who passed. Well since he had such young children, he
had to find a new wife, because he couldnt work and take care of the children.
so after his second marriage, and two more children, by this time, the other children
became old enough to work with him in the mill, the locals would come over and
have their wheat ground into Flour. and in return (payment) they would leave him
enough to make bread. This was a memory all the kids were fond of was the smell
of fresh baked bread 
Well, his Eldest son John, who was very much against war, and was a arcitect who
could build something out of scraps of wood , candy wrappers by seeing what
it looked like and taking in its features. was called for draft into austrian army
to which he didnt believe in going, so he and some of his friends decided they
would gather all their money and go to America!
Well Shortly after he landed in America, his father sent him a letter, stating that
if he didnt tell the truth that he had stolen money from him to go to America, they
would put his father in jail.
so he wrote it (with out any truth to it and never stole in his life) and sent it to
the Polish Govt so that they would not take his father away from the rest of the
children .
Well, two years later, Grandpa Antoni decides to send his second oldest son to
America with his brother.
Grandpa Antoni was very stubborn, and when it came time for MY Grandfather
Michael to sign up for drafts into the austrian army, Grandpa Antoni No Way!
someone had told him that the one of the soldiers was sleeping with the Colonels
wife! Well, it was one of the Captains who was doing it.
infuriated with this, Grandpa Antoni sent Michael to America.
when asked why he didnt want his sons drafted. His reply was
They will not join , I will not have my sons fighting in a ************ war!
The end
like that is what you mean, or am I telling to much?
