Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wIB.2ACI/221 Message Board Post: Ole was, I believe, my great grandfather. His son, Ole, Jr., my mother's father. Ole had six children, three born in Trondheim and three born in Kandiyohi County. The dates between births in NO and MN are 1867-1870. I have the old trunk, with decorative painting and with Ole's name painted as spelled above, along with the date, 1854. It appears to be painted over another name and date that I cannot discern. On the back of the trunk are the "No 3 til St Claud, Minnesota North America, Anker Line New York. I had assumed that 1854 was the date the family came over. There is limited information about Anker/Anchor Line, but supposedly it wasn't established until 1865. If anyone can offer information or documents about this family, passenger lists, marriage, location in MN prior to locating in Kandiyohi, etc., I would love to hear from you. I have an original deed signed by Ole Johanesson and Ellen Johanesson (diff spelling), selling property in Kandiyohi Cty (signed in Polk County, registered in Kandiyohi?)to Ole Rindahl, dated April 12, 1897. Assuming again that Ole held the original land grant (probably 1875), this is the farm where my mother was born and raised. Another family member has the original land grant certificate, signed by US Grant and which my mother kept for many years before sending it to the family that now owns the farm. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am presently scanning photos from old albums and hope to post them on a web page later. There are many without identities. but do have some of Ole's children. Also some unidentified which were taken in Trondheim/Trondhjem.

Good Morning! This is the last call for the newspaper obits for Mrs. Charles Lindberg of the Willmar/Svea area. I'll hold them for today, but tomorrow a.m. they go out with the trash. Kind of sad as the two obits have two different pictures of her. Bob, I'd e-mailed your cousin in Atwater per your request and got no response as of yet. I can't hang on to all of this stuff and the trashman hauls things away tomorrow afternoon. Really a shame but........ Cathie

I have an obituary for a Mrs. Charles Lindberg of the Willmar/Svea areas that was in a great great aunts scrapbook as a dear friend of somebody she knew. There is no reason for me to hang on to the obituary (actually, it's two obituaries for the same person) but I don't feel it's right to throw it away without trying to locate a relative of hers who might what it. Mrs. Charles Lindberg's maiden name was Ingrid Olson, b. February 21, 1862 in Glimakra Socken, Kristianstad Län, Sweden to Olaf Olsson and Betsy Persdotter. She and her hubby farmed in the Svea area and later moved to Willmar. Children were: Ellen, Mrs. Harry Holm, and Amy, Mrs. Edmund Backlund, Lilly, Mrs. Rueben Lund of Grove City, and Agnes, Mrs. Olaf Fagerlie of Sacred Heart. A daughter, Ida, preceded her parents in death. Any takers? Cathie

Hello veterans and newbies of the rootsweb. There are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 259 prisoners on record from the state of Minnesota and more than 100 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides as well as all Americans who gave their freedoms for those that we enjoy today.. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask. Please visit my website dedicated to those Americans who were imprisoned and died in captivity while in the service to our country Kevn Frye Local Andersonville Historian / National Park Service Volunteer http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html AOL USERS go to http://hometown.aol.com/andersonvillecw/

In 1945 my GGrandfather passed away in the Wilmar sanitarium. My question is: How would I get records of residents in the complex at or around that date? What about records of internment? It states on his death certificate he was buried in the cemetery next to the hospital...does anyone know anything about this cemetery? Sincerely, Charlie

"Special music was presented by Mrs. Bob Huisinga, Mrs. Ralph Huisinga" ..."Pallbearers were Bob Huisinga, Ted Huisinga," ....
