Surnames: Carlson, Hawkins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wIB.2ACI/283.1 Message Board Post: Hello, Cheryl, I read in the August issue of Smithsonian Magazine an article about Chester Carlson, who invented the Xerox copying process. It said his parents, Olof Carlson and Ellen Hawkins, came from Grove City, Minnesota, and later lived in Kandiyohi County. I would like to find out more about the family tree of such a great inventor. The Smithsonian article said he made a lot of money and gave it all to charity, and that a book about him, by David Owen, has recently been published. I wonder if there has been any recognition of him or of his parents in Meeker County or Kandiyohi. Jerry Baker Cedar Falls, Iowa (Member of the Solglimt Chapter of the Sons Of Norway)
