I am interested in obtaining names of possible churches that served the Ishpeming residents in the 1880's. I have the names of four children who were baptized on the following dates in ??? church in Ishpeming. They were Swedes. Their parents were Andrew (Anders) and Ulrika NORMAN Amanda Maydala Norman baptised Feb 1883 (this date could be a little off) Gunhild Isabella Norman baptised Jan 1884 Eskil Norman baptised August 1885 Henning Edward Norman baptised April 1887 Can anybody help me to locate these records or to point me in the right direction?

Chris- In Negaunee, is St Paul's Catholic Church, one of the oldest churches in the area. My ancestors lived in Princeton(Gwinn, Forsyth Twp) and had their children baptized there in the mid 1890's. You could contact them at: St Paul's 202 W. Case Street Negaunee, MI 49866 St Anthony's 310 W. Iron Street Gwinn, MI 49841 St Joseph's 1889 Prairie Ave Ishpeming, MI  When you write to them for information, you might want to slip a little donation for their time.. good luck! laura On 30 Jun 2001, at 16:52, Mike & Chris wrote: I am interested in obtaining names of possible churches that served the Ishpeming residents in the 1880's.
