Hi John, Baney is a fairly uncommon surname. Have you looked at city directories? They would be a good place to start to confirm residence and occupation. If Wayne was a minister, he would be listed as such. Elizabeth might be listed in years prior to 1930, particularly if she worked outside her home. Any idea what church they attended? Many church records are available at the Minnesota Historical Society.

Erik, I have looked for obituaries for Dorothea & Philip, and had no success. I checked the main Minneapolis newspaper, where such notices are usually placed. I will check for Julius Oliver Ween's obituary on my next visit.

The LDS Library has vital records for Minneapolis on microfilm. Here is the description from their on-line catalog along with the film number - Registers of births 1870-1886, 1888-1889 (Includes Minneapolis) Register of births, Town of Plymouth 1898-1907 Birth returns 1870-1872, 1875-1880, 1882-1886 (Includes Minneapolis 1870-1872, 1875, 1877, 1879, 1882) Register of birth (includes Minneapolis) 1887 . FHL US/CAN Film 1309389 The web site for the LDS on-line catalog can be found at - http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp I had good success finding some records, Good luck.

Whoops - I should have added that both resources are at the Minnesota Historical Society. And the death card information was copied and pasted from my web site. Laura ----- Original Message ----- From: Laura Aanenson To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2003 8:03 AM Subject: Re: [MNHENNEP] Death indexes for Minneapolis Good morning Tom, Unfortunately, no there is no index for that time period. Two records exist however. There is a death register, filmed by county, for 1899. Cards (and occasionally other documents) containing information about deaths that occurred between 1900 and 1907 were transcribed from certified copies of death reports sent to the Minnesota Health Department by local officials and health officers. While not 100% complete, the information in the registers and on the cards can answer questions for genealogists looking for ancestors who died prior to 1908. I've found both resources to be very helpful when there is no record at the county level.

1. The records for Hennepin Co are in downtown Minneapolis, in the Hennepin Co. Govt Center. I believe they have births and deaths and marriages on microfilm. I was there a few years ago and you had to call ahead to book an hour, since they only had one reader, but you had sole use of the machine for that hour. I would have to re-verify this and I don't have the phone number handy. 2. The Minnesota Historical Society has some older MN county records on microfilm (for Steele County, for example); I haven't checked lately to see if they ever got microfilm of Henn Co. I have been told that death records started in Minneapolis (or all of Henn Co.?) in 1870--five weeks after my relative died there. Good luck!

I did not receive the email and would like to see it. Jan

Jan, here it is. Hopefully not scrambled as it was originally. By Lorraine I. Quillon Managing Editor, Family History Magazine Generally, we tend to be naively trusting until something happens to destroy that trust. Recent happenings in the world of genealogy have made us all considerably more cautious. Many enthusiastic researchers signed up for a conference that looked entirely legitimate. However, as the scheduled time approached, the conference was cancelled and would-be participants were having some difficulty retrieving their registration fees. Now, we're seeing another form of genealogy theft as researchers become increasingly keen on using the Internet. On Aug. 1, Elias Abodeely II, 22, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was arrested for allegedly perpetrating a whole series of scams aimed at genealogy buffs. He operated mostly under the heading of GenSeekers. But if you recognize genealogydevelopments.com, familydiscovery.com, genealogyfinders.net, genlocator.com, or genealogy-express.com, you may have been introduced to some of his other creations. His modus operandi is to establish a Web site and solicit subscriptions with the promise of a money-back guarantee. However, when people go the site, they discover that he has given them nothing more than links that are available at numerous free Internet sources. Messages requesting refunds are returned as undeliverable. Then the Web site itself quickly and quietly disappears from sight. According to the Aug. 2 The Gazette, an Iowa newspaper, investigators claim, "Abodeely masterminded a three-year genealogy scam that netted at least $14,000 and between 220 and 260 victims - a handful of them from overseas." Abodeely was arrested on suspicion of identity theft and three felonies - first-degree theft, money laundering and ongoing criminal conduct. The crimes are punishable by up to 47 years in prison, according to Gazette reporter Christoph Trappe. This is an unfortunate situation because it necessarily makes genealogists w ary of all such enterprises, even the legitimate ones. So just an ancient word of warning-caveat emptor! Robbery comes in many different forms. Do everything in your power to prevent loss of both resources and confidence. Check out a potential service as much as possible before investing significant sums of money. Consult more experienced researchers for advice about reliable services.

I'm doing research for a book concerning the last mission of a B-24 bomber over Germany in 1944. One crewmember survived and was a POW until the end of the war. The B-24 was shot down over Magdeburg, Germany on August 16, 1944 and the surviving crew member, named Leo Stephens, was a Radio Operator. I'm trying to locate family members to see what recollections they may have from Leo E. Stephens or his lost crew members. Can you provide any information concerning family members of: Leo E. Stephens, DOB 9/25/20, SSAN 471-18-2962, deceased 6/16/97, from Champlin, Hennepin, MN. Thank you so much! Sue Veldkamp [email protected] www.HeroInFlight.com

Thanks, I called a place I found on line to try and find out where and when Arlin and Clara were married, if they were married in Minnesota somewhere, but alas, no luck, they had no records showing that this couple were married in the state. So I guess I'm now in a state of confusion. =X Mary
