Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/471 Surname: LaPier, Shelde ------------------------- I am looking for any information regarding Joseph LaPier and Elen Shelde. They lived in the Fosston,Polk,MN area. Their first son, Arnold, was born there in 1903. Some time between 1903 and 1905 they moved to the Itasca county, MN area. Perhaps they were married in Polk county, but I've not been able to find evidence of this. I would like to find the ancestors of Joseph. The LePiers in Fosston are relatives. If anyone knows anything of or about Joseph, I certainly would appreciate hearing from you. I am a granddaughter, and none of the grandchilren of his, know any thing about him prior to 1903.

There are also three McGuires listed in the white pages for Grand Forks, ND.
