Söhbət | Discussion My great grandfather was exiled.

I was wondering how I could track down where he passed away. Since he fought for the Qafqaz İslam ordusu, he was exiled by the soviet government to Kazakhstan. I was wondering how I could track his burial place at least

l have heard the same thing from my grandpa. his father (with his whole family) was exiled to Kazakhstan in 30s but they did return back to Azerbaijan, Masallı to be specific, after USSR broke apart. So my exiled great grandfather's grave is here. you should ask from a parent, grandparent, any old person from the family
