Hi, I am new to this list. I was born in St. Paul and lived much of my life in the Twin Cities area and in Willmar. My wife (also a Minnesotan) and I are now living in Clearwater, Florida — and still missing Minnesota. I am looking for information on my paternal grandmother. Per information that I currently have: She was born at farm Birkeland, in Sveio parish, in Hordaland County, Norway on 7 June 1874. Her full name in Norway was Anna Marta Endresdatter. Her parents were Endre Abrahamsen Birkeland and Lisbet Olsdatter Tveitaskog. She emigrated from Norway to America some time in 1892. She initially went to the Willmar area and, soon after, to the Minneapolis area, where she took a job. She married my grandfather, Anton Olaus Peterson, on 16 November 1901 at the Bethlehem Norwegian Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, which was then located on 16th Avenue, South. Her name, as shown on the marriage license and certificate was Annie Lund. Following the marriage, she accompanied my grandfather to their home in Pennock. They later moved to Willmar. During her life in the Willmar area, she was known by several names: Anna/Annie Lund, Anna/Annie Birkeland, and Annie Peterson. I am hoping that someone will be able to provide me with some information on her from Minnesota records (e.g., Minnesota census for 1900, Minneapolis City Directories, Hennepin County records, naturalization records, etc.). I am especially interested in the route and ships she took from Norway to America and the dates of her immigration and naturalization (if she was naturalized). Thanks in advance for whatever information anyone on the list can provide. Bob Peterson
