Hi Roger, Your Albina Fortier is my great grandmothers sister. Albina Fortier was born 26 Apr 1863 in Quebec, Canada. She married Leandre Daoust on 21 Nov 1880 at Gentilly, Red Lake Falls, MN I have a great deal more information that I will be happy to share with you. I am always glad to find another "cousin." Most of my data is on Albina, she was one of 9 children, most of their spouses too. I have two more generations back. I even have a few photographs! Please contact me if you need this information. Sincerely, Jackie Decker,

I am wondering where I should write in hopes of finding a marriage that took place about 1879, possibly at Red Lake Falls. The couple were Leandre Daoust/Deault and Albina Fortier. Grateful for any suggestions. Roger

Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/367 Surname: Arnold Hauger ------------------------- I found out that the person I thought was grandpa was'nt. It turns out that my grandma had a breif relationship with a man by the name of ***Arnold Hauger*** back in 1949. I know that he was born in Winger, Minnesota (Polk County)in 1908 and died 1995. I also know that he never claimed my dad as his own, so any possible relatives would'nt know about my dad. I don't think Arnold had any other children nor do I think he was ever married. I know his mother's name was Clara Hauger (died in 1982)her maiden name was Anderson. His dad's name was Adolff Hauger. My dad never knew about real father, he thought he had the same father as his brother's and sister's. My only purpose finding someone that knew of my "real grandfather" is to see some pictures, and to find out more about my heritage.
Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/365 Surname: Pounds, Shindler, Clay, Anderson, Tanner ------------------------- I am looking for information about my great-grandmother and her children from her second marriage. Her maiden name was Anna Pounds. I have her postcard collection handed down to me and am searching to-and-from locations on the postcards to help me find information. Crookston, Minnesota in Polk County was where one of her daughters must have been living at the time she sent several postcards in 1909. I believe this daughter was from Anna's second marriage. Her name may have been Bess Clay or Bess Tanner. Anna's first marriage was to Frank Pierce Shindler and their only child is my grandmother, Grace Clara Shindler (Robison), born in 1885, probably in Nebraska. Frank died when Grace was only 4 years old and is buried in Edison, Nebraska where the Shindler family migrated to from Pennysylvania. I have been unable to find any records of Anna or Frank in Nebraska. Anna's next husband is believed to be Frank Clay. I have postcards to Anna Clay in Minneapolis, Minnesota where it is believed she ran a boarding home at 11-1/2 North Sixth Street. I have tried to find census lists, city directories for the areas where these people lived to no avail. It appears that Frank Clay may have died around 1909, but I am not sure of that. Anna's third husband was Donald Anderson and they also resided in Minneapolis after 1909. I believe Donald was one of her boarders before they got married. The postcards date from 1906 through 1918. Any information would be appreciated.
