Erica, I don't really know anything about this site but what it says makes my antenniii quiver. 1. You have to download their software? What exactly does it install????? Spy ware???? It's like somebody saying "Shut your eyes and open your mouth" You'd better look and see what they've got in their hand. 2. Are they secretly harvesting gedcoms to sell without telling you?? 3. They say it links your computer to others across the globe. hhhhhhhmm that's a hackers heaven.. 4. The site says "GedLink is maintained by Infoduc SA" in France, but doesn't say who owns it????? Remember P.T. Barnum's famous saying?????? Neal Carrier Hi listers! I received an email inviting me to join this web site: www.gedlink.com .  I did download the software and am a non-paying member (for now).  It seems like it would be really cool, if enough people were "members". I was wondering if anyone else has heard of/is a member of this site, and if so, have you had any luck in making new contacts?  And is a paid membership worth it? Thanks! Erica

We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just posted a portion of a 1904 federal government report which summarizes the poor laws in every state. On the MINNESOTA page we have copied the excerpt for just your state. It is interesting to see how the laws varied from state to state. And understanding which state or county agency had administrative responsiblity over poorhouses may help you locate local poorhouse records more easily. DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on MINNESOTA on the table of states. If you have been to the website recently you may have to click REFRESH or RELOAD on the browser to see the new information. You will find the link to this excerpt near the top of the page in a section titled HISTORY and marked with a big yellow NEW arrow. There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES. There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage). The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.) We hope you enjoy the site! Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

Hi Everyone I thought I would list the family I am interested in and see I can make a connection. Nels Dalsmon immigrated from Norway to Minnesota in 1883. He was born in Aug 1854 in Norway and died between 1900-1910. His wife Paulina Berg or Frederickson possibly came from Sonsber, Norway in 1885. She was born in May of 1854. Their two oldest sons, Hans and Carl, came over with Paulina. Their children in birth order are: 1.Hans Frederick Dalsmon born 5 Sep 1878 In Norway 2.Carl A Dalmson born May 1881 in Norway 3.Clara Dalsmon born 1883 in Norway 4.Nels Peter Dalsmon born 1186 In Minnesota 5.Ludvig Theodore born 1 Sep 1888 in Minnesota 6. Clara Dalsmon born 8 Sep 1890 in Minnesota 7. Baby Dalsmon born 24 Oct 1893 in Minnesota 8.John Elmer Dalsmon born 14 July 1897 in South Dakota. Four other children were born but died at young ages. The surname has several possible spellings: Dalsmon/Dolsman/Dalsman/Dolsmon Thanks Pamela Dolsman

I'm seeking relatives/information for John Lightfoot and his wife, Bonnie, who lived in Des Moines, Iowa in the 1950s. I believe John might have been John J Lightfoot, Jr and Bonnie might have been Ordela/Ordalo Bonnie but am not 100% positive of that at this point. John was a mechanic/driver for Hawkeye Truck Equipment around 1947-1950 and a driver for Super Valu around 1949, both in Des Moines. Bonnie had at least one daughter, name unknown, who would have been approximately 19 in 1949. It's believed the daughter was from a previous marriage and that Bonnie and her daughter moved to Des Moines from "somewhere North", possibly Wisconsin or Minnesota. The daughter of Bonnie had at least one child, a son, born around 1949-1950. Here's what a search of Polk County Directories turned up for the Lightfoots: 1947 Directory John Lightfoot, mechanic Hawkeye Truck Equipment which was located at 905 Center (close to Keo) 1950 John J and Bonnie Lightfoot 925 9th, mechanic for Hawkeye mail listing for 925 9th was Gate W Everett and Dunakey Nora Mrs, 5 people lived here 1952 John and Bonnie lived at 1451 S.E. 36th, in the back of the book they list by mailing address and a Joseph A. Gaskins is listed for this address 1953 Lightfoot, John J jr and Ordela B, lived at 1211 Lyon (3 people lived here) 1954 Lightfoot, lived 2500 Valley Drive (runs south side of water works part) 2 people lived here 1959 Lightfoot, lived at 2101 Wakonda View Drive and was a driver for Super Valu (this is across from Dahl's on Fleur and is now a Quik Trip) If anyone knows of this family or knows someone who might, please email me. Thanks! Denise Price Boyd Denise's Random Thoughts: Families are like fudge .. mostly sweet with a few nuts.

Hi, I am trying to locate an obituary for my Great Grandmother Mary (Marie) Clairmont/Clermont Plante, who died on December 4, 1910 in Chester township, Polk county, Minnesota. I had thought about trying once again to purchase some more microfilm newspapers. I already bought the Fosston.Thirteen Towns in that year and her obituary was not in that one. Does anyone have any suggestions which one I might try next? Crookston. TIMES (daily) East Grand Forks. VALLEY VIEW Erskine. ECHO Fosston. THIRTEEN TOWNS McIntosh. TIMES Thanks ever so much for any suggestions. I would really like to find a write up about this death. Jeen [email protected]
