I found my great grandfathers papers (filed in the 1890s) at the county clerk's office.

If someone believed they filed their intent to become a citizen in Houghton County around 1912, where would those records be held? My grandfather immigrated in 1907 or 08 and according to the 1920 census (he was living in Hancock), he became a naturalized citizen in 1912. Any suggestions on where I might look for his papers?

Thank you for your input but it is not the one. George would have been 28 and Mary was 22. They were married in Atlantic Mine in 1909. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Because of you suggestion I have posted that information to the message board. I hope it helps. ~Diane~

LANG, was born in Calumet in 1875. He is listed on the 1900 census living on Pine Street with his parents. He is listed as single on the 1920 census, age 43, living with his mother and siblings on Lake Linden Avenue. I cannot locate James in 1910. I recently acquired his employment record from the Calumet Hecla Mining Company from 1916, and it says he was married to Laura ERMATINGER November 16, 1908. An aunt of mine remembers hearing rumors that James had been married at one time. Looking for any information on this marriage. I would like to determine if Laura died, or if they were divorced. Laura may have been from the Sault Sainte Marie area, since James also worked there in 1915. He also worked at the Manitowac Shipbuilding Company in Wisconsin, so Laura could be from Wisconsin. I am unable to find James and Laura in 1910. Does this ERMATINGER family ring a bell with anyone? Katherine Palmer http://myheritagesite.com

You don't say how old George was at the time of the 1910 census. There is a George Osterman, age 13, living in Calumet Twp with his parents Mark and Maggy. His father Mark is a laborer in a copper mine. Could this be the one? Lois

Hi Diane, I went through the 1910 index and didn't find any George Osterman's in Houghton Co. However there were some in other states. Any possibility they might not have been in Houghton Co at the time the census was taken?

Hi Connie, I believe that you are spelling that wrong, it may have been Americanized. The original spelling was most likely Karjala.Karjala/Karjalainen name is found in Northern Finland. http://www.genealogia.fi/indexe.htm Above is site in Finland for genealogy. http://www.utu.fi/erill/instmigr/index_e.htm This one is for immigrant information.
