Did anyone see the special on PBS African American Lives last night? It was a genealogy look into the family history of well known or famous African Americans of today. It included Oprah Winfrey, Chris Tucker, Quincy Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, and a few others. It was a very fascinating! I'm looking forward to seeing the final piece. I am sure they will air the whole thing again. http://www.pbs.org/ ~Jeanette ----- Original Message ----- From: "List Administration" <ETMaddox@verizon.net> To: <MNHENNEP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 4:02 PM Subject: [MNHEN] Fwd: 1870 US Census - Free to Search During Feb. 2006 > This is a forwarded message > > From: Joe <paperangels@gmail.com> > > To: GEN-NEWBIE-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 2:56:56 AM > Subject: 1870 US Census - Free to Search During Feb. 2006 > > > Hello All, > To celebrate Black History Month, Ancestry's 1870 US Federal Census > database will be free to search (with registration) during February > 2006.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Clifford Earl WILLIAMS which was taken at the E. Thibodeau Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The photograph was likely taken sometime in the 1890's with Clifford noted to be age 3 months and 5 days at the time the photograph was taken. I'm hoping to locate someone from Clifford's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

We've just added several new pictoral histories from the upper midwest to our catalog, including books on Moorhead, women on the ND prairies, SD Lakota Sioux missions, Uptown Minneapolis and the Mississippi River.

Modest maidens of this era, like Grave Girl, stayed in the front seat and remembered where they were when. The Quarterback Club had a site on University identified by said Grave Girl and another at 36th and Cedar and perhaps others for a time in Richfield or Savage; and at 36th and Cedar - now a rental store. Further there was an A&W in Hiawatha not far from the home of the Sagamore Year Book that might have photos. Sagamore was Indian chief and name of home of TR once - after his sojourn in the Dakotas. And the father of the child was? Happy Historical Trails, Robert P. Mosedale Bloodhound Research, P. A. rmosedale@juno.com

From an old article (2002), I found it by using the cached copy, the archives require either registration or payment, I didn't go there. "Nostalgia is encouraged here, particularly if there's a little mystery attached to it. For example: There's a huge faded sign for a drive-in burger joint becalmed in the back lot of Lyndale Garden Center, at 64th and Lyndale in Richfield. One of you knows where it comes from. One of you had your first kiss at that drive-in; one of you remembers spilling pop down the speakers of your father's new car while goggling up at the neon hamburger. "The Backfence wanders through many yards -- one of them has to belong to a former carhop, a short-order chef for whom the sign meant another night of hot, greasy work. Or perhaps you just want to bemoan the lack of good drive-ins." The cached copy is at http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:jZb0jPSZ3Y4J:www.startribune.com/stories/804/34901.html+64th+and+lyndale+minneapolis+drive-in&hl=en Hopefully, this will help jog memories.

Pat, I'm forwarding to the person who asked about this. Your answer makes sense. Maybe they just called it the "Football Drive-in" as kids. Thanks!

The woman who wants to know where the "Football Drive-in" was is fairly sure it was located somewhere near Roosevelt High School, isn't sure of the exact address, but it did have the name "Football Drive-in". This would have been some time around 1960-62. Maybe someone has an old Minneapolis phone directory and could look it up?

There used to be a restaurant on University SE and, I think, Central Avenue that had a large 1/2 football on the roof. It was named McNamara's, after one of the Gopher football players from the 50's. >>> schumanC@comcast.net 01/08/06 08:10PM >>> Can anyone who lived in Minneapolis in the 1960's remember a Drive-in restaurant called the "Football Drive-in" and where it was located??

You might go to the MN Hist. Society web site, and their death index for Johns, and then to an obit and then to Bloomington and Richfield Historical Societies. An early plat book might show his farm....or Happy Historical Trails, Robert P. Mosedale Bloodhound Research, P. A. rmosedale@juno.com

There is nothing by these spellings in the current Bloomington Directory

Deb, I can look in the Minneapolis City Directory at the Minnesota Historical Society next Friday. What years are you interested in?
