Do yo know how she got all those names? Marriages? Do you know if she was related to Joseph R. Brown? Did she have French, Indian or fur trader family background? Was she related to any Freniers? I have an interesting tree. Sonja

The MN Historical Society has death records 1906-1946, a good place to look for Cecelia Brown.

I do not have much to go on, but I am looking for anything on a Cecelia Brown. I know she died in this county in 1944(approx)Her maiden name was Lavalley. She is my great-grandmother. Her full name was Cecelia Lavalley Charbonneau Morrissette Barton Brown. When she passed she was still a Brown. I do not know who she married or when, for she was estranged from my grandmother. Anything would be great. Thanks in advance.

Dan Whittier Balch is listed as #02496 in the Whittier Genealogy by Charles Collyer Whittier. He was the 5th child of Dorothy Dimon Marston Whittier (b. Grafton NH 8 Mar 1816, d. Minneapolis MN 28 Jul 1886) and Dan Shaw Balch (b. Lyme NH 16 Mar 1807, d. Minneapolis 24 Feb 1888). They were married 2 Nov 1834. Dan Whittier Balch was b. 28 Sep 1844. The Whittier genealogy has no further information on Dan Whittier Balch and his descendants. It does have further information on lines from his siblings. It also gives the line back from his mother to the original Whittier immigrant

Can you give more info on the RUH surname and how it fits in. Thanks Pat m.

I have a Antoine Masse in my ninth generation but born in 1691. My Masse family was born in Quebec, Canada and change the family name to MOSS by my ggg-grandfather Joseph William Masse who was bron July 30, 1825 in St. Martine, Quebec. He married Zoe Langlois October 10 1853. I have Masse relation back to the 11th generation. Please contact me if you think we connect in any way.

I see you have listed Clary and Roach in your surnames. Could this be Helen Clary who married R. L. Roach in 1876, Clary Co, TN?

Does anyone have the "History of Dakota County", published in 1910? I would really appreciate knowing what it says about G. C. DUNWELL, page 286. Thank you very much, Cindy

Hi All, RootsWeb and Ancestry.com have replaced the old GenConnect boards with a new Message Board at Ancestry.com. As a result, the *only* link at the MNDakota webpage (http://www.rootsweb.com/~mndakota/) that sends you to this new board is the "Queries" link. I will remove the other links (Bibl/Bios/Deed/Obit/Pens/Will) as soon as I can. You may still submit Bible Records, Biographies, Deeds, Obituaries, Pensions and Wills at this new board by clicking on the "Queries" link. Also, these eight new classifications have been added: Birth, Cemetery, Census, Death, Immigration, Lookup, Marriage and Military. At first the new message board may seem somewhat awkward to use but be patient; it really is an improvement over the old system. If you want to check it out now, go to: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.united-20-states.states.minnesota.counties.dakota Make sure that you get ALL of that url in your 'destination' or 'go to' box! Note: you will not see a 'Classification' for your post until you click on the "Post New Message" link. Then you'll see the drop-down box near the bottom of the page, after you've entered your post and surnames. You'll also see that you can add an attachment to your post which may include a gedcom or even a graphic! If you have any problems with it let me know and I'll help out in any way that I can. Good luck with the new Dakota County, MN, Message Board! Tom Wilde MNDAKOTA-L Listmanager Dakota Co., MN, Coordinator and Message Board Administrator

Mn Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mn/Dakota/10686 Surname: Rosen ------------------------- Hi, When I was a little girl I lived next door to an elderly man named August Rosen. He lived with his son and daughter in-law, Lloyd and Ruth,on Second Street in Farmington, Minnesota. August had another son Bob Rosen, who is still living in Farmington, and two grandchildren, Mary and Jean who still live in the Farmington area. I'm not sure if this is the August you are looking for. Hope this helps. If you would like more information, please e-mail. Thanks, Judy

Posted on: Dakota Co. Mn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Dakota/10685 Surname: Wilkinson, Woodhouse ------------------------- I have previously posted my Woodhouse family info at this site. My great aunt Flora Woodhouse (1871-1950) married John H. Wilkinson (of St. Paul, I think). They had a daughter, Mary E. (1894-1980) (aka 'May' or 'Mayme') who never married. They also had a son, Ernest, who had two daughters, Lois and Jeanne. One daughter may have lived in Keokuk, Iowa. Flora, John H. ("Uncle Jack") and Mary E. Wilkinson are buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in So. St. Paul, Dakota Co. I think Ernest Wilkinson is buried in Ramsey Co. Am searching for any information anyone may have on these Woodhouse and Wilkinson families.
