I did a search and found this: Brown, Mrs. Cecilia, died 12-12-1944 in Ramsey County. MN Record # 026512 To get it to come up, you have to chose EXACT for the first field where you enter last name, Brown and "CONTAINING" in the second field for Cecelia. It screws up the search when someone puts Mrs. in front of the name. I checked that way because it was common in that timeframe. You can order that record on-line for $8.00. http://people.mnhs.org/dci/ This should have her spouse's name, even if deceased, the informant, and parents' names and place of birth, if the informant knew them. I live in Hopkins, MN. Where are you? Sonja
