Can anyone tell me more or refer me to where Id find informaiton about how someone would have gotten to Minnesota in 1850's. Looking to see if anyone can direct me. I have Magloire & Anasasie Huot [married in 1857 polk country] then in Northern Maine in 1902. Could anyone tell me where I would be able to find a researcher for this period? I know theres a huot cemetery and a little about the huots but would like more infomation, like where they actually lived or a map at that time. Paul Cote, Jr

----- Original Message ----- From: <MEGSPaul@aol.com> > Can anyone tell me more or refer me to where Id find informaiton about how > someone would have gotten to Minnesota in 1850's. That all depends on from where they emigrated. There were many immigrant routes. If they came from Scandinavia/Norway, it could have been a direct route through Canada (Ontario). If they came from Europe, it could have been through Boston, New York, New Foundland, Maine. Many different routes. > I have Magloire & Anasasie Huot [married in 1857 polk country] then in > Northern Maine in 1902. First, is Magloire the Huot, or is Anasasie? Or is this their married name? They married in Minnesota in 1857 and were in Maine in 1902? I looked for these names in the US Census without success. Do you have birth information, date, place? Children? Siblings? There was an Anastasie P. Huot that died in Portland, Maine...but she was 89 on April 28, 1993.

Claire, "inst" means the present or current month. This is an old use of the word "instant." It was often used in correspondence. Another word often used was "proximo" which is "in, of, or during next month." And another old one is "ultimo" which is "in or of the month preceding the current one." End of trivia.

Would sks please look on ancestry.com to see if there is a p.o.d. listed for Krista Swenson who died in March 2003? Thanks, Cathie

My name is Jeanne, and I live outside Billings, Montana. Personally, I have had great response from LIST members in my own family searches; they are the most knowledgeable persons about their particular areas, and I have found them to be generous with their time and help as well. Now I've become a last-minute volunteer helping U of Montana students looking for more information about a group of more than 70 men and women imprisoned in Montana in 1918 during WWI for speaking out against the government (information below). The student project is seeking pardons for these people, and MT Gov. Schweitzer has been approached re. his approval of the pardons. He has not made a decision as yet, but the project faculty/students want to be prepared in the event he does give his approval and a pardoning ceremony can be arranged for sometime in April. Therefore, we need to work toward finding the descendants below now, so they can be contacted and make plans to attend any ceremony that might be held. (My Minnesota cousin's grandfather was one of these people, and she is so very excited at the prospect of seeing her grandfather pardoned; she is looking forward to hopefully going to Helena, along with other members of her family.) This project has been in th! e newspapers in Montana and across the nation and on NPR radio already, and much more news coverage is expected if they are pardoned. Some descendants have already been contacted, but many more are yet to be found. WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP PRIOR TO APRIL 1. Students and faculty at the University of Montana have tried for months to find these persons with no success. We are now asking for outside help in order to meet our deadline of April 1st. In the states of MO and MN, we are looking for a man named BENJAMIN (BEN) KAHN, b. 12-25-1879, possibly in Russia/Poland. We know nothing of Ben's mother, siblings, etc. We need them in order to track present-day descendants. His father may have been AARON KAHN, b. est. 1836-46 in Russia as well. Aaron Kahn was in a Jewish Home for the Aged in Ramsey County (St. Paul) MN in about 1920--may have died there sometime in the 20's. Death index? Obituary with family information? BEN KAHN stated in his court testimony that he had come to the US at a very young age (under the age of 2 most likely) and had been raised, until he was 17 and left home in St. Joseph Missouri to help support his parents. In about 1920, he had a brother in Poughkeepsie NY, a sister in IL and another sister (widowed) in Seattle WA area. He spent about a year living in MT as well. Was a registered voter in Missouri, he said. A Louis Kahn was shown as "Russian-born" and in St. Joseph MO in the 1930 census; I am wondering if this was a brother to Ben, born 1879? If you can find any information on any current-day descendants of BEN KAHN or AARON KAHN or have historical knowledge of them in your particular county or area of expertise, please contact me (norsky@mtintouch.net) or Professor Clem Work <mail to: clem.work@umontana.edu> . More information about the project can be found at <http://www.seditionproject.net> We are grateful for any help you can provide. Thank you. Jeanne in Montana

----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary E Wickersham" <meowp@mn.rr.com> > He's buried at Fort Snelling, which gives his address: > Last known address: > 7601 34th Avenue, South Minneapolis , MN 55450 > Death Date: > 22 Mar 1990 > Cemetery: > Ft. Snelling National Cemetery Great find, but that address is the address for the cemetery. That same cemetery has a wife of John Hager, born 12 Mar 1920, died 26 Jan 1998, Interment on 30 Jan 1998. She is buried in Section Y, Site 1459. She had Veterans Rank of Tec4 (Technical Sergeant) US Army. But, this John Hager, buried next to her, was born Feb 1916, died 8 Feb 1991. So, if anyone does research at Fort Snelling, remember there are two John Hager, the correct one is John C Hager. The Minnesota Death Index does identify that John C. Hager, died in Hennepin County, mothers maiden name Demars. --In the 1930 census, he at 10, was living with Henry and Roda Demers in Elk River, Sherburne County, MN, as grandson. Children listed for Henry were Oliver 17, Florence 15, Edith 14, Louie 9 and Ray 7. Henry and Roda were born and immigrated from Canada. I won't pursue any further in census, as you may already have that data. I checked Newsbank for that name, there were 33 with articles in 1990 with the name of "John Hager", and one with "John C. Hager". None were obituaries for your person . There are 512 newspapers within Newsbank, but, most didn't have articles online that far back. The Star Tribune for the twin cities goes back to 1/1/1986. Nothing on John. I checked for Hennepin County Recorder for documents; however, they have none online. All I can find. Ron Bestrom

Last residence is not given with the SSDI entry, but the MN Death Certificate index shows Hennepin County as place of death. He's buried at Fort Snelling, which gives his address: Name: John C Hager Veteran's Rank: TEC 5 Branch: US Army Last known address: 7601 34th Avenue, South Minneapolis , MN 55450 Birth Date: 17 Sep 1919 Death Date: 22 Mar 1990 Veteran Service Start Date: 15 Feb 1941 Veteran Service End Date: 22 Jun 1945 Interment Date: 27 Mar 1990 Cemetery: Ft.

Not where it was issued, but the last residence? The John C that you are seeking "might" be the one born 3 Aug 1913, died 9 Feb 2001, last residence 92128, San Diego, CA. (But I see that Mary Wickersham found another). So you might need to check the list for others. I found 4. I looked in News Bank and found 173 obituaries that had a John Hager within the article. I could check for a specific one, if you have the date of death. I could also check local County Auditor Recorded Documents. Ron Bestrom
