I have a DC for Lauchlen McLean who died in Duluth on Feb. 1911. He was born in Scotland in 1827. The informant is Duncan McLean. Lauchlen is not related to me and I would be glad to send the DC to anyone who might be related. The body was to be shipped to "St. Marie, MI." Marion Markham

Capt. John C. Hodgson was my great grandfather, and did live in Houghton. In fact, the old family home on Collage Ave. is now a fraternity - can't remember the name of it, however. Kappa Sigma comes to mind, but am not sure. Capt. John P. Hodgson was his cousin. Are you related?? Alice in Arizona > Are you related to Capt. John Hodgson in Houghton? > > Clint >

In the middle of the night, I realized that I had not checked for McLeods at Forest Hill. This morning I did, and lo, I think my elusive A.R, (Allen in the cemetery) is there. Today, I will send for DCs for two McDonalds and a McLeod. Tami, you are appreciated, even if no one has bothered to tell you. Marion

Thanks, Tami!� You are wonderful to work so hard to help so many of us out here searching and searching!� You are truly a dear person. Betty

When I got the email about the new Forest Hill listings, I went to the site and found some McDonalds, whom I had just asked about earlier today. John and Margaret might be related to my gr-grandmother. There are no dates for John, whose DC I would most like to have. How many years will the Houghton Cty. Clerk search? I know he was alive in 1880. After that...? I want to thank Tami for all the work she is doing and wish I was closer so that I could help. Marion Markham

There has been a large update to the Forest Hill Cemetery online records thanks to Tami's poor worn stubs she calls fingers. Tami has managed to get 7,405 graves entered so far and they were uploaded last night. The page has been reworked to make it easier to find your family. Forest Hill Cemetery Records http://www.mfhn.com/houghton/foresthill/default.asp Tami also has a new set of records just about ready for going through. Will send the link soon. Also, have some other records from Sara that I am formatting (slowly) that you might want to check out in the Italians of the UP at: http://www.mfhn.com/houghton/ItaliansRice/default.asp More are coming that she has done but they aren't web ready yet.

A ferry would have been the easiest I would think. Many ferry services at that time, with out records to gather names from, but for newspaper articles of local comings and goings. Border crossings didn't get recorded by the government until the mid 1890's. After that they are on film and listed under St. Albans Border Crossings. There is a soundex to the files so you can order the right film in. The films themselves that I have around are very hard to read on some of the manifests, but they are the first two films. The earliest two films only contain people coming into the ports at the mouth of the St. Lawrence. Here is a list of what is available on film with the order numbers for the NARA or the LDS FHL. http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/glpassengers/sources.asp There was by train too, but that would have been hard to do and out of the way and a much longer trip then considering Houghton Co.'s location.

Thanks to the ever helpful Colleen, I think I have found a connection to the McIntyre clan in my line. It would be helpful if I could order death certificates for some of these people but I don't know when they died. Between the 1880 census and the one for 1900 is a big gap. I have asked before about a cemetery near Quincy where the McDonalds might be buried. I am also hoping to find McRaes and McIntyres. I do have some McRae burials but if anyone has information on any of these families, I would like to get it. Marion Markham

Many of my Scot ancestors seem to have wandered back and forth across the border. Since they all came to the UP and Lake Superior is in the way, does anyone have any thoughts about how they may have come in? Marion Markham

Hi, My father told me that they are doing burials at Lake View Cemetery so it must be open. I think that the clerk helps out on the grounds , but they do have an answering machine. Alicia

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Korpi/Korby/Anderson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2FB.2ACI/1936 Message Board Post: Looking for info on a John Anderson who was married to Lempi( Korby ) Anderson born 1892 Allouez,Mi died 1979 Rudyard,Chippewa,Michigan I would like to know if they had any children.

I think I have asked this before but have not received an answer. I am looking for information on McDonalds who lived in Quincy in the 1880 census. If I could find the cememtery where John McDonald and his wife, Maggie (Margaret?) are buried, I might be able to get DCs that would lead me back to Scotland. TIA Marion Markham
