1904 added to Minnesota death certificates Index Death cards from 1904 have been added to the Online Index to Death Certificates. We're working diligently to add more years. As in the past, we will notify you when more data is added. Look for another five years of birth records to be added this summer.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Andrew VICKSTROM which was taken at the Heighstedt Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The photograph appears to have been taken sometime in the 1890's with Andrew likely in his 20's at the time. He has a corsage of flowers on his suit so I'm guessing that this might be his wedding day photograph. I'm hoping to locate someone from this VICKSTROM Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Where did you rescue this photograph? My maiden name was ENGLUND and my father grew up in Minneapolis. His father was born in Red Wing, MN but the family moved to MN when he was young. Many of his family line remained in Red Wing. I do not believe that photo would be my great grandfather, Bernard I. Englund. He would have been older than you describe. However I suppose it could possibly have been one of his younger brothers. But how would we ever know? I don't have any photos of my great grandparents until they were quite old, and none for Bernard's siblings and without a first name it could be many different people. What a nice thing that you did. I hope someone might be able to claim it. Jo H

I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as "Mr. ENGLUND" which was taken at the A. Larson Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Mr. ENGLUND appearing to be in his teens at the time. I'm hoping to locate someone who can identify him as a member of their family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you think you might be a member of this family, or know someone else who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Why can't I open this address. I get a default that says "not found" on this server? PQ

I am forwarding this little piece of information. I found it very useful for my own research. -Teresa Hello everyone, I have found a site well worth looking at concerning IGI parish records. Usually the surnames are in alphabetic order so it is a good way to find several members of one family.

My name is Jeanne, and I live outside Billings, Montana. Personally, I have had great response from LIST members in my own family searches; they are the most knowledgeable persons about their particular areas, and I have found them to be generous with their time and help as well. Now I've become a last-minute volunteer helping U of Montana students looking for more information about a group of more than 70 men and women imprisoned in Montana in 1918 during WWI for speaking out against the government (information below). The student project is seeking pardons for these people, and MT Gov. Schweitzer has been approached re. his approval of the pardons. He has not made a decision as yet, but the project faculty/students want to be prepared in the event he does give his approval and a pardoning ceremony can be arranged for sometime in April. Therefore, we need to work toward finding the descendants below now, so they can be contacted and make plans to attend any ceremony that might be held. (My Minnesota cousin's grandfather was one of these people, and she is so very excited at the prospect of seeing her grandfather pardoned; she is looking forward to hopefully going to Helena, along with other members of her family.) This project has been in th! e newspapers in Montana and across the nation and on NPR radio already, and much more news coverage is expected if they are pardoned. Some descendants have already been contacted, but many more are yet to be found. WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP PRIOR TO APRIL 1. Students and faculty at the University of Montana have tried for months to find these persons with no success. We are now asking for outside help in order to meet our deadline of April 1st. In the states of MO and MN, we are looking for a man named BENJAMIN (BEN) KAHN, b. 12-25-1879, possibly in Russia/Poland. We know nothing of Ben's mother, siblings, etc. We need them in order to track present-day descendants. His father may have been AARON KAHN, b. est. 1836-46 in Russia as well. Aaron Kahn was in a Jewish Home for the Aged in Ramsey County (St. Paul) MN in about 1920--may have died there sometime in the 20's. Death index? Obituary with family information? BEN KAHN stated in his court testimony that he had come to the US at a very young age (under the age of 2 most likely) and had been raised, until he was 17 and left home in St. Joseph Missouri to help support his parents. In about 1920, he had a brother in Poughkeepsie NY, a sister in IL and another sister (widowed) in Seattle WA area. He spent about a year living in MT as well. Was a registered voter in Missouri, he said. A Louis Kahn was shown as "Russian-born" and in St. Joseph MO in the 1930 census; I am wondering if this was a brother to Ben, born 1879? If you can find any information on any current-day descendants of BEN KAHN or AARON KAHN or have historical knowledge of them in your particular county or area of expertise, please contact me (norsky@mtintouch.net) or Professor Clem Work <mail to: clem.work@umontana.edu> . More information about the project can be found at <http://www.seditionproject.net> We are grateful for any help you can provide. Thank you. Jeanne in Montana

More on my website, noted below. ^...THOMAS HAGGERTY & ELIZABETH CURTIS: b: 1846, Belfast Academy Grant (Ludlow ME); baptized 29 August 1846, St Mary's RCCh, Houlton ME , sp:Kyran Walsh & Bridget Gilaspey Thomas worked the farm at Ludlow ME, migrated, 1868, to Cambria Co PA, resided there for 4 years, then came to Stillwater MN, 1872. There he established the village of Houlton WI (after Houlton ME, now the villiage of St Joseph WI, just across the St Croix River from Stillwater MN) ) became a retail store, tavern & hotel keeper as well as property and lumber dealer, farmer and Houlton WI's post-master for varying lengths of time during the period from 1880 to 1893. >From "Red" Haggerty (son of Edmond P Haggerty in the Peter Haggerty Jr line); "Uncle Tom Haggerty originated in Houlton Maine and about more or less emigrated to Wisconsin where he opened up a general merchandise store on the Wisconsin side of the St Croix River and christened the town, that grew up around his store, Houlton. I can still remember him, shorter than our dad and more heavy set, but the same type of mould. Besides the store he was the postmaster also. I do not remember when or how he died but do recall that he turned the store over to E. P. to manage and run it, while still alive. Dad did not do very well. He gave credit to anyone and everyone and finally closed up the business. Shortly after doing so, as I recall, the building burned down, completely." >From Ms Jayne Finnergan Smith a long time resident of Houlton WI: " Our Ggp's Mary Jane Keays and Wm Keays were very good friends of both Tom Haggerty and "old" Ed Haggerty . We grew up thinking that we (the Conway's, my grandparents), the Joyce's and Haggerty's were the only 3 Catholic families in Houlton and later in life we equated ourselves to Houlton what the Kennedy's were to Hyannisport. Yes, I was present in my best Sunday garb to many of your family. I remember Charles in his service uniform coming to visit us during WWII.

My grandparents, Charles H. Manahan and Lydia Asenath Eck, were married in Minneapolis by the Rev. Calvin B. Moody on January 15, 1899. I would like to know what church Moody served in. It could have been Fremont Ave. Congregational, which was located in North Mpls. Does anyone know where old Congregational church records might be stored? Shirley Minneapolis, MN

I have photos of the DUGAN/McGINN plot at St. Mary's Cemetery, Minneapolis, MN. It appears that the McGinn ladies are not my McGinn family. Names are on one side of the gravestone: Alice M. Dugan wife of Frank d. 18 Apr 1958 Frank L. Dugan d. 10 Jan 1949 Elizabeth Dugan 1911-1918 The other side of the stone: Harriet McGinn (no date) Emma McGinn d. 25 Mar 1959 William H. Dugan 1870-1956 Alice, Harriet, and Emma are most likely sisters. William and Frank are brothers. If anyone is interested, please contact me at _aclose6984@aol.com_ (mailto:aclose6984@aol.com) Thanks. Alice Close

My mother and father were married in May 1925 by the Rev. Frederick D. Tyner. I know he was an Episcopalian priest from St. Luke's Church in Minneapolis. My mother attended Sunday School and Church at Douglas Chapel on 6th St. No. in Minneapolis from 1904 at least until she married. I'm looking for information on Douglas Chapel. I know it was "managed" by a couple named Locke. Can anyone help me find more information about Douglas Chapel? Shirley Crohn Minneapolis
