  I am looking for any info on what happened to Edward Bolter, his wife Augusta Bolter and their son Fred. 1870 federal census finds them in Petersburg, Jackson Co. Edward is 40, his wife is 30 and Fred is 4. Fred was born in Wisc, and Edward and Augusta were both born in Prussia and I believe met & married in Wisc. In the 1875 MN census they are in Jackson Co, Minneota township. Edward is 45 and Augusta is 34 and Fred is 8. In Nov 1876 land records state Edward had 160 acres, sec 14, twp 101-N, range 34-W, Meridan 5th pm,County Jackson. Is there a way to find out when this land was sold and to whom? I can't trace Edward and Augusta in 1880 or beyond but I may or may not have found Fred from 1892 in Estherville Iowa through 1930 in Burleigh Co Bismark ND. Anything anybody can come up with would be welcome.

  I am looking for information on Hildor Hedlund and his wife Esther. He was a jeweler/watchmaker and had his own shop in Lakefield for a few years. He was living there in 1918 according to his WW1 draft registration card and was also in the 1920 census. When they married in 1911, he stated Jackson Co. as his home. He was in Chicago in 1930 with a different wife. I was told, according to the stories, that Esther had been put into a hospital, but no-one knows where and I haven't been able to find any records. It was also told that she had a child at one time. Lakefield is the only place you find Hildor and Esther. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  My search is for an EBY family that moved from Canada to Des Moines , Jackson, Mn in 1855. They are recorded in the Census for the years 1880 and for 1900 for that county. Menno EBY was born in Feb 1819 in Canada and Elizabeth EBY was born Sept 1820 also in Canada. By 1900 they were 81 and 79 respectively. Their death dates and burial sites are the goals of my search. Apparently Elizabeth died in 1902 (unconfirmed). In 1900 the children still living with them were Lemuel 47, Aaron, 44 and Matilda 34. The 1880 Census shows Mary 27, Martha 21 Matilda 17 and Emma 14. Any enlightenment on this family would be appreciated.

  I am researching my family and would like any information on the Harazin family. They moved to Jackson MN from NY in 1880 after June of that year. They were immigrants from Czechoslovakia. They purchased a farm and lived there for a few years. I know they returned back to NY before 1894. Franz Harazin was the father and Maria his wife. The children were: Franz, Joseph, Johan, Wenzl, Anna. I know another girl Mary was born in MN. Another child may have been born and died. The farm was on a cross road. Supposedly the older boys worked in an Iron mine.
  
  Information I would be interested in would include: who did they buy the farm from, when did they leave Jackson, did any of the children attend school, was there another child born and anything about the iron mining.
  
  I believe that Mary went to visit the area in 1950 and said that the original farm was still there and the family that bought the farm from the Harazin’s was still living in the house.
  
  Most of my research in on ancestry.com under Marzocco family tree. If you can help or have information:

  I'm seeking information on Andreas, or Andrew, Hansen Svensrud and his family. He was born 1885 in Modum, Buskerud, Norway. He, along with his wife, Barbara and infant child, Anna, emigrated from Nakkerud, Norway in 1910 to Jackson, MN. Traveling with them were two of Andreas' siblings, Ole and Anna Svensrud (their names were spelled Svendsrud on the ship manifest).
  
  Andrew Svensrud (he is apparently going by Andrew as opposed to Andreas) and family are found on the 1920 U.S. Census living on River Road in the Village of Jackson. Present are wife Barbara, daughter Anna (or Eva?), son Alvin (b. 1911 Canada), son Bert (b. 1915 MN), and daughter Gladys (b. abt 1919). He is listed as a Tiler. I also have Andrew's WWI draft registration card showing that in 1918 he was employed as a laborer by Ted Johnson.
  
  I am the great grandson of Andrew's sister, Anna. I have much information to share regarding the families Andrew's (Andreas') siblings. Extended family of Anna, and his baby sister Nora (who emigrated separately) are living throughout the Midwest. I also have some information on family still in Norway.
  
  I welcome contact and especially any information on family. If you can help or have information:

  I’m from Voss in Norway. From the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s lot of my ancestors emigrated to US. Most of them ended up in North Dakota, Oregon and Minnesota and some other states. Family names are Rogne, Rockne, Bryn and Bjørgo. One of my ancestors from Voss, Anna Knutsdotter Bjørgo, married to Knut Langeland came to US in 1856. They lived for two years in Koskonong and in year 1858 they went to Big Canoe where they stayed until 1861 when they took claim in Jackson county somewhere by the river Des Moines and they got 8 children. The 24th of August 1862 the family was attacked by the Indians. Knut was out somewhere in the fields looking for his cattle when the indians came and killed Anna and five of their children. One daughter, Martha, eight years old, managed to escape and hide in the cornfields and survived. Another daughter was seriously wounded by gunshots and arrows, but survived though the Indians believed she was dead. But she died on the road to Spirit Lake. Another surviving daughter was Julia. Later, Knut went back together with a platoon of soldiers and buried his family.
  
  I know that Martha became married to a man named Sivertson and that they lived in Westbrook Minnesota. I know for sure she got six children so there got to be ancestors of at least Martha. I’ve checked some Morman internet sites and found Julia. It seems that she lived single with her father in Cottonwood, but I didn’t find out more. Of Martha I could not find anything. This summer, my wife and I are going to ride the historic Route 66 from Chicago to LA, but maybe already next year, if we can afford it, we are going to follow our ancestors track from Ellis Island. And it would be very interesting to find the approx. spot where that terrible event happened in August 1862 and maybe the graves of Anna and her kids. And I also hope to find ancestors from Martha and Julia. So if there is someone that can give me some information I would be very greatful. Best regards, Jostein Bø

  I have been working on a friends papers for the National Society Daughters of the American Colonists. Her name is Patricia Pratt Zuanich, and her great grandfather was George Franklin (Frank) Pratt Jr., son of George Franklin Pratt Sr., who Married Adelia Angeline Greenman in 1863. Where we need help is that we know that George Sr. was killed by his father-in-law on 26 Jan 1878 in Jackson Co. Minnesota. We know they lived near Heron Lake but we need proof - there was a article in a newspaper about it that Pat can not find and he must of been buried there. If there is someone who can find any articles for us and take a picture of grave markers, I would happy to pay for the gas and whatever can be found about George Pratt Sr. and Greenman family (Chauncey W. Greenman and Clarissa).

  Searching for Lakefield family, unknown name. My name is Vince Ash and I live in Buckley, WA. I recently came across two old diaries- 1886, 1887. They are not from my family, but what I can gather a woman who lived in a town near Lakefield in 1886-1887, unfortuneatly at no time does she mention her name or the name of the town. She does however talk about taking the train to Lakefield occassionaly. However, they ran a gristmill on a river south of Lakeview, and were fairly well known and well to do from what I can gather. Further in 1886, she ran for the Senate so perhaps she is someone well known or known of in your area. I realize I have given you very little to go on, however as I continue to read the diaries I may be able to send you more information. I do know that her brother or cousin came out west on the narrow gauge railroad in 1887 to Spokane Falls, WA and finally settled somewhere near Ferndale,WA. His name was W.H. GILBERT. I would like to return these diaries to someone who is a descendant of hers as I am sure they would like to have them. Any assistance you can give would be appeciated.

  Like a lot of people I have a copy of Lakefield's first 100 years published I believe in 1979. My great grandfather was August BLANKENBURGH was the first veterinarian in Lakefield and one of the first in Jackson country. He moved to Lakefield in 1890 from Minier IL. He emigrated to the U.S. through Boston to the U.S. in 1872. He was born in Rozainen (West Prussia--now Poland) in 1839. My grandfather August BLANKENBURGH (his son) was also a Veterinarian. Both are buried in the Lakefield cemetary as is my father. I am currently trying to trace the West Prussian part of my great grandfather's family.

  Someone emailed me regarding a lookup in the "Memorial Record of Faribault, Martin, Watonwan and Jackson Counties, Minnesota." Later that day, my computer crashed, and I lost all unanswered emails. The subjects of the lookup request were COHOON/CAHOON and WILLEY, as I recall. Since I don't have the requester's name/address, I will post the findings here in hopes that the person still gets an answer. The findings were very meager unfortunately. No CAHOON/COHOON is mentioned in the book. And only one WILLEY. The entry is within a bio sketch on Perrin M. Marston, and says, "Perrin M. Marston was born in the province of Quebec, Canada, June 30, 1855, the youngest son of the seven children of Samuel and Sarah (WILLEY) Marston." (page 545). I'm sorry I was not able to help.

  I am looking for information on Frank Joseph DOYSCHER , born abt 1828, and his wife Katherine, born abt 1829 who lived in Petersburg around 1880 after moving there from the town of Hortonia, Outagamie, Wisconsin. I'm particuarly interested in his date of death, where he is buried and how to get a copy of his death certificate. I think that he is from the Dorschner family that immigrated from Austria in the mid 1800's to live in Wisconsin and I'm trying to find the connection. There was also an Anton Dorschner who might be a possible brother that also moved to Petersburg from Wisconsin about the same time as Frank. Any help appreciated.

  I am researching the LARSEN surname in Jackson county Minnesota. I have a copy of the 1900 US census for Ewington Township. It has some of my family on it. One of the people listed is Lars OLSON. It appears that he is the father of George LARSEN. I have heard that the family was made to change their name when they emigrated. If this is correct he would be my great great grandfather. I am waiting on more information to confirm this. They emigrated from Denmark around 1884. Other branches of the family include Oscar and Harry LARSEN. I also have a fairly good family tree printout for the Clinton PIGMAN family of the same or a nearby township. It traces the family back to 1661 in Great Pardon, Essex, England. The name there is John PIGMAN. This was done on the family of my great aunt Cordelia FLEWELLING. The FLEWELLING family is also traced back to the 1600's.

  Looking for ancestors who came to America from Norway. There was a Carl THORESEN who was born Oct. 4, 1893, and died in Jackson in February of 1982 who might be related to my family. My THORESEN ancestors have been traced to Waseca (Carl THORESEN, born there in late 1890) That family left Waseca and settled in Minneapolis. His mother, Anna, died in Minneapolis in 1927 and his father Andrew (born in Norway in 1854) died in the Armistice Day (Nov. 11) blizzard of 1940. Is there anyone who can help with this family?
