This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZGB.2ACE/378.1 Message Board Post: Haley Since your grandparents are living, you really should try to get as much of the family story from them as possible. Years down the road we (hopefully) will still have the census and passenger lists, but the real stories that fill out your genealogy and make it a family history can easily be lost. From the 1910 census, Andrew and Elisabeth were married in 1907-1908. Andrew immigrated in 1902 and Elisabeth in 1906. Perhaps they knew one another in Finland. You will want to track down the naturalization records as those records from post 1905 contain much more information about the immigrants homeplace and which ship/s they took. Also not that Elisabeth, if she naturalized, had to file her own papers since it was after 1902. I have not found the family in the 1920 or 1930 census. If I do I will send you the information directly. Good Luck Anna

Joyce: I called the Itasca County recorder's office. They did a search of mid 1960's to 1983, with no marriage recorded in their county for Wlm. McIntyre to Emma Decker. I don't know what to say, but I feel it's safe to rule out Itasca County. I wished I could have confirmed for you.

Would Any One know if Bigfork has a historical society and how I can contact them. I was raised in Bigfork by the Hanson family and went to school in Bigfork and Effie . Would like to know if they are interested in a copy of The Last Frontier. Everett Flynn, Mpls.

Signe, I was born in the Bigfork Valley and graduated high school in the valley. I would very much appreciate it if you would copy the whole book for me. I will be happy to pay you the cost and for mailing to me. Let me know if you can, and how much and I will send you some money and my address. My mother is in the nursing home in Bigfork MN and I go up there fairly often. I knew Brigit Anderson and her sister, who I can't remember the name of right now (old age, I guess). Brigit went to our church when she visited and she belonged to the "old timers" club and so did my grandparents. My grandfather was one of the fairly early loggers.
