1996 Trek to Estonia

My brother Henry and I are planning on going to Estonia and Saint Petersburg Russia, perhaps in 2000 just for fun.

The plan will be to investigate Tallin for the farm, relatives and other treasures, Saint Petersburg for the castle or estate that Tiina Kinna lived in and to soak in the ambiance of this unique city. Of course the main reason for going is just to have a little fun looking at the birthplaces of our heritage. I must admit, I have never had a strong urge to explore general history, that is until I went to Vienna and saw a corner stone place by the Romans. I could touch it, and with that touch I transended back in time and saw them at work, ancients forging a lasting testament of their existence. It shocks the senses, I have a feeling, the same will happen in Estonia.

This may be one of those "once in a lifetime adventures" so, we are off to visit the land of our ancient relatives, you should be present.

The Tomingas Brothers: Henry & Byron

PS:

The Estonian club in the United States organized a trip and festival in 1996, perhaps they will do it again.
