Posted on: Polk County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk?read=249 Surname: Stromme, Straume, Knutson, Knudson, Osmundson, Austad ------------------------- Looking for the burial sites and any other information (Birth Certificates, Marriage licenses, death certificates, censuses records, etc)of Ole K. Stromme and Thora Osmundson Stromme. Ole came over from Valle, Norway in about 1886-1887. He was born on September 7, 1862. Thora Osmundson was born in Wisconsin on July 6, 1871. She moved to Minnesota in about 1878 or so. Ole and Thora were living in Huntsvile Township with 6 of their 8 children in 1905. Bertha Osmundson Austad and Ed Osmundson were a brother and sister of Thora's. Thora may have died in about 1911 and could be buried at St. Pauli Church in St. Hillary, Mn. Saw a confirmation picture of my grandfather, Clarence Stromme on that site. I believe that Ole K. may have died in Grand Forks in the mid 1930's. Thanks for your help/

Hi Mary and everyone, There was an article in the French Canadian and Acadian Genealogical Review (Vol. 1 Number 1), dealing with the origins of the Hains family. It explains that the Hains brothers were captured in a raid and taken to Quebec at the ages of 12 and 7. Based on the article, the reference to criminals seems to be mistaken.

Hi Dawn, Cecelia Hince was my Great-Grandmother. She is a descendent of Jonathan Haynes, born @ 1616 in the New England Colonies of America. Jonathan (Cecelia's ggggg-grandfather) and his brother Joseph were criminals (crimes unknown) and sent to New France (Quebec) to become naturalized citizens, under certain conditions. Around the beginning of the 1900's my line moved to the Duluth, Minnesota area. I've heard many Hince's are still living there. Cecelia married Joseph Laurent, and in their retirement years moved to Washington State. The city of Yakima. The surname changes quite frequently. I've seen Haynes, Hins, Hains and Hince. Do you know where your line came from? I might have some information I can share with you! I am looking for any stories or other information anyone on the list might have. Hope this helps, Mary Boisselle Seattle, WA, USA mlbois@gte.net
