I am looking for a connection to Crawford families in this area or possibly a neighboring area. My grandfather, Frank Charles Crawford, was born on March 9, 1899 as far as we know. We do not know where he came from or who his parents were. He may have been born in one of these or someplace close. he married my grandmother Mary Ann in 1918, they resided in the Pembina-Neche ND area and also in the Cavalier ND area (all in Pembina County) As I was growing up, I heard stories (which I would like to verify) about a situation where "those People" tried to take away his wages while he was living in the Pembina area, and after his first son (my uncle)was born. He threatened to change his name, but I don"t believe that he did. He and Grandmother Mary Ann moved to Cavalier ND in 1924 and there he lived until his death in 1968. I am looking for clues as to who he is and who his parents and family were. It is said that grandmother knew, but would not tell. This secret also went to the grave with him and we would like to find out. There are some medical reasons to know this info, also. If any piece of this story sounds familiar, please CONTACT ME. I do not believe that any harm can come from knowing the answers. Thank you in advence for your help. Sharon Crawford Brobst.

Write to the Vital Stastics Dept. for the state and order his death certificate. You should be able to get certificates for both.
