Calumet is in Houghton County, and all legal documents are in the County Courhouse in Houghton. The ladies that work there are very, very helpful and patient people working on genealogy research.

Hi Marjorie, I cannot post on the message boards today, they are messed up again. I keep getting errors. I can send in to the list members without a problem though. Here is what I received from the CLK library We have the usual sorts of titles you see in many public libraries, such as Cyndi's List, Finding Your Roots, The Weekend Genealogist, . You can see many of our materials on our on-line catalog at our webpage http://www.clk.k12.mi.us/library. Go to the Library Catalog and search for genealogy as a keyword. We also have some family histories including Copper Range Chronicle, Stories of the Early Years: Matilla Farm, The Fezzey Family History. We have some volumes of the "Descendants of..." series by Lawrence Fader including Descendants of Matthew Bovee, and Selected Obituaries from the Daily Mining Gazette by Fadner. In addition to these resources we have some vertical file material, cemetary records, and microfilm of the local newspapers. They also have the Library version of Ancestry.com of course Alicia > > Well I am not sure about calumet but Houghton has the Houghton County > Courthouse in which you can look up Death, Marriage and Naturalization > records but you have to call before showing up because they have limited > space (906) 482-1150 is their number. and then also in Houghton is the > MTU Archives and they have polk directories, census, newspapers on > microfilm and really nice people to help you find just about anything. > Their web page is http://www.lib.mtu.edu/mtuarchives/ Check out what is > available at the archives.

Hi, This site gives you information on what you can obtain http://www.houghtoncounty.net/directory-hcclerk.shtml Here is the library link I know that they have some genealogy related books. http://www.clk.k12.mi.us/library/ The LakeView Cemetery is open in spring, summer and fall months. They have thier burial records in a computerized database. The have an office when you first drive into the entrance it is to the right. I would advise you to hit the Mich.

Hi Ron Have you used Trond Ballo's site? http://home.no.net/~tballo/ On the left side , click on Hammerfest and another window will open. Then click on the E's, you will find your family there. Note that it is spelled Eriksen. I have an old Polk index 1895- 1896 and Halvor is in it , living at 4316 Oak st. in Calumet, miner. Also at the same address is Eli a fireman, , Miss Hilda, John machinist, Peter surface man, Rudolph a drill boy and William a butcher. I can't find Halvor in 1900 so he may have died between the years of the Polk index and the 1900 census. http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/folketellinger_e.aspx Here is the census for Norway, I have a difficult time using it as I am not sure what town is where. You might have more luck. http://www.mfhn.com/houghton/index.html Houghton has a pretty good search engine, type in last name on main search. There is also a link to Newspaper transcriptions. You have to search through every one. I posted this previously about the Opland's. I have original Fremad ledger from the Norwegian society that was here. The earliest member was in Oct of 1890 Peter Opland age 30 born Fladanger ,his sponsor was Iver Opland on Feb. 1891 There are two entries written in for Iver and Elias Opland but no information is given on them at that time. Mathias Opland 29 born in Bjomar? NOrway and his sponsor was Mrs M. Opland , Nove 20 1890 Elias Opland 34 born Fladnger? Norway sponsor Mrs E Opland April 16, 1899 Iver Opland 34 born Fladnger?

Opland Dec 13, 1908 Peter Opland 39 born Stindalen? sponsor Mrs Amanda Opland on Jan 10 , 1909 BTW, in 1900 Evina states that she was born in Norway, not Michigan. 1910 United States Federal Census about Arina Erickson Name: Arina Erickson Age in 1910: 37 Estimated birth year: abt 1873 Birthplace: Norway Relation to Head of House: Wife Father's Birth Place: Norway Mother's Birth Place: Norway Spouse's name: John Home in 1910: Calumet, Houghton, Michigan Marital Status: Married Race: White Gender: Female Year of Immigration: 1889 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age John Erickson 41 Arina Erickson 37 Irvin Erickson 10 Milton Erickson 5 George Erickson 10/12 I will get my Fremad ledger out and see if any of yours are listed. They may be buried in Lakeview but it is closed in the winter. You would have to call in the spring and ask as they have it in a computer database which my Aunt helped out with. I think that they are one of the few cemeteries that I know of who have not let this data be put on line. I got the Calvary cemetery in Ahmeek from the late Bill Loukkonen township supervisor.

Again Jacob Ludovicus "Louis" Braun was born on 25 Aug 1834 at Ranschbach, Rheinpfalz, Bavaria. Rheinpfalz Bavaria was a small province above the northeast corner of France on the westside of the Rhine, and ruled by the kingdom of Bavaria in se Germany at the time. At the time these Brauns immigrated, Rheinpfalz Bavaria was not yet a part of Prussia. Louis Braun, who married Pauline Kohlhaas, was the son of Johann "Jacob" C.Braun, born in Ranschbach in 1808, and Anna Maria Haas, born in Fruendsheim or Freimersheim, near Neustadt, Rheinpfalz, Bavaria in 1807. I have no record for Louis having a brother or even cousin named William Braun (b.1825), and it is unlikely he had a brother born in 1825 due to the ages of his parents. Johnann "Jacob Braun was the 1st of 6 known children of Jacob Braun and Katharina Lauth, the latter also of Ranschbach. I have no families for any of these other five children. Sorry. Tom Lutz

I suppose a trip to Sheboygan may be worth my time. There are also a whole lot of Braun/Brown families in the 1860 census of Sheboygan, WI.

She and her husband John are both buried in Lakeview cemetary, Calumet but I have no information on her father Ole or her mother whose name is unknown to me.

I know nothing of Alfred's family or anything about the other siblings. I have reason to believe my later aunt, Marguerite Erickson Draeger visited the Oplands in Vefsen and had contact with an Ove Risrem who could be descended from Martin Opland. Any tie-ins with the other Oplands of Calumet would be appreciated. While visiting Lakeview cemetary and the Erickson plot, I noticed an Opland plot directly across the road from our plot but didn't recognize any names and couldn't determine any relationship. I am in contact with a distant cousin in California and she and I are both trying to learn more about our Opland family but hitting firewalls.
