He had 9 brothers and sisters most born either there or in Cohasset, Itasca Co., Minn. and one in Sturgeon Bay, Door Co., WI. there names were: Carl, Wilhelmina, Peter, Joseph, Christine, Helen, Albert, Theodore, and again Wilhelmina. Right now I am mainly looking to confirm the info I Have that William was born here, can anyone do a lookup for me? thank you
