Thanks for sharing Elroy. The picture of the threshing machine brought back memories of threshing on the farms on my parent's farm in So.Dak. We would shock the grain first and the farm families would get together and thresh the grain. Tractors at that time were built with a broad pulley on the side and the tractor backed up to tighten the belt. Really interesting - I just wish someone in my family had a sense of history like yours. My Grandma was from Germany. I believe the women from that time period were much more strong-willed also. Thanks....paul

>>There's a good chance the farm house in Moldova is still standing, although no one has ever been back to see to the best of my knowledge.<< Google maps has high-resolution imagery for parts of Moldova. If you know the precise location maybe you can check to see if it's still there... maps.google.com P.S. My grandfather was homesteading wheat land in northern Montana around the time of your family threshing picture. He got title to his 240 acres in 1916, and I can easily spot his tract on Google's satellite map because of the field's distinct shape.
