Hi my Estonian brothers and sisters. Greetings from Latvia. I need your help translating a message.
I’m renovating my house and a bottle with message inside of it was found. Sorry for the quality of the pictures, my mom took those 🙂 my mom tried to rewrite the message,i hope she did a decent job. I know about Google translate but because the message is really old Google might not use the right meaning of the word (if it has multiple meanings).
Only thing I understand is the year 1939 and a guys name Jaak Purk.
Thanks!

  3. Seda maja ehitas Eesti mees Jaak Purn (?) ja lõpetas tööd 1939 aastal.

    Estonian man Jaak Purn (?) built this house and finished the job in 1939.

  5. Seda maja ehitas Eesti mees Jaak* Purk ja lõpetas tööd 1939 aastal.

    This house was built by the Estonian man Jaak* Purk and completed in 1939.

    Variation for Jaak* – it might be Jaan as well.

  7. This house was burned down by Nazi Germany, and reburnt by soviet union. No letter from the bastards. Just a drastic sarcasm from year 1939.
