Whomever is doing the County a town called Baudet is in, you should be hearing from a young lady named Pam VLcek. She has been sharing some wonderful old photos and family anecdotes on FB (I met her playing an FB Game) and I asked if she is willing to share with MNGenweb and she said, what is MNGenWeb, I explained and she said what a great idea! So you should be hearing from her soon with some wonderful stories and photos of her ancestors! Laverne

You must mean Baudette. It’s a little place WAAAYYY north, up by Canada. Lake of the Woods county. The “ice box” of the country. http://mnplaces.mnhs.org/upham/index.cfm <http://mnplaces.mnhs.org/upham/index.cfm> BAUDETTE, a city and the county seat, located in Spooner and Baudette Townships (T. 161N, R. 31W), was incorporated as a village in 1907; it merged with Spooner in 1954. The city began as a steamboat landing and lumber town with a sawmill, following the railroad coming through in 1901; it was named for Joseph Baudette, a trapper who had been in the area since the early 1880s. The first family was the Cathcarts in 1893, Thomas Cathcart having worked in the area in 1891. The post office began in 1900 as Port Hyland, with Daniel Hyland as postmaster, changing to Baudette in 1901; it had a station of the Minnesota and Manitoba Railroad (Canadian National). > On Mar 1, 2015, at 10:45 AM, Laverne H.

Baudette is in Lake of the Woods County which is Vikki's County. What a wonderful find! Karen Becker, Todd and Stearns On Sun, Mar 1, 2015 at 10:45 AM, Laverne H.
