Hello, I am new to this list, and new to searching in the USA. I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out or point me in the right direction regarding the following: I have a certified copy of birth register for my G-gmother Oline Knudson, but the only problem is the entire family spelled their name Knutson. How do I go about finding the correct spelling? She was born in Eagle Lake Township in the county of Otter Tail Birth Register "D", Page 216, Line 33 May 9/1895 I also have some information saying my G-aunt was born Oct 26/1898 in the town of Mary, Roseau County. How do I get a copy of her certificate? And last but not least, how do I go about finding a passenger list from when they arrived in the USA? All I know is that they went there in 1883, I don't have as much as a name of a ship or port. Would there be census records that would help? Sorry this is so lengthy, but thank you for taking the time to read it. Shelly Bueckert Canada

Good Afternoon! I am looking for information on my gr.gr. grandmother's brother from Sweden, John Anderson. I am at a loss as to how to go about getting more information because of this name....and to make it worse, the only time that his name appears in all of the family information that I have, is that, in 1926, the time of gr.gr. grandma's death, her brother John was a survivor of hers, living in Minneapolis. I have extracted his "acts" in Sweden and found that he was born Jöns Andersson, born September 25, 1854 to Anders Åkesson and Hanna Pehrsdotter in Östentorp, Södra Rörym, Skåne, Sweden. He left Sweden for America April 29, 1870 as a single person with no children. His sister, Karna Andersdotter, and brother-in-law, Måns Svensson and their children left Sweden May 1, 1870 for America and settled in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota. Måns' brother, Per, was already in Minnesota at that time. I have been to the Historical Society in Hennepin County. I was overwhelmed at the number of John Anderson's in Hennepin County. Books and books of them. I didn't even know where to begin. Is there anyone of this list that might have some ideas on how in the world I might find my John Anderson, only knowing his date of birth and date he left Sweden for America? Cathie

Some of the lists have this message: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. It has been very helpful to see the Message Board Posts. Could this be done on this list? Lafe

Does anyone have any information on Myer EPHRAIM? I have a photo of him that said he went to Minnesota and I have found a land grant for him in Beltrami Co.

He was born 1864 in Ohio and his wife was born 1870 in Minnesota and died about Sept 1904 after giving birth to William.

hear, hear. That is one reason why I never moved back to Minn.

A few days ago, someone posted a message about Roger Moe on the Norway list. So having Moe's in my family line, I looked this man up and gave him a call. He wasn't home, so I left a message. I got busy with spring cleaning and such and forgot to call him back. This evening(Wednesday) he called me! We talked for about 20 minutes, in that time I found I was not related to this line of MOE's(shucks!). But rather than just writing me off and saying his good-bye's, this kind gentleman stayed on the phone with me just like a "regular Joe" would. He helped me with my other side of the family. And even just chatted for a minute! He didn't even ask how I got his name until the call was about over. Considering this man is running for public office(Governor) in Minnesota, I thought it was very wonderful, not only for him to return my call, but to talk to me as though he had all the time in the world! I wish he were running for office here in Oregon!! if he was, I think I'd be ! helping him with his campaign. I was very impressed! I have been to many State Capital's across the Country and phoned a few congress people etc., as a child and as an adult. I've never had any of them ever treat me so well, as a child or as a adult(voter).
