Laine Kald was born on October 17, 1938 in Imavere parish and she was the penultimate child. Laine had 4 sisters and 2 brothers. Germans took the older brother to a war when he was 18 years old. He died in the battle between the Germans and the Russians. In this battle Estonians killed Estonians.  Her second brother died on June 22 of 2009. So right now 5 sisters are still alive.
          The parents of these seven children were Mr. Vardi Markson and Mrs. Alviine Markson. They were farmers. In their farm there were horses, lambs, pigs, chickens, cats and dogs. My grandmother had a horse named Peedu. But the Russians took Peedu away.
