Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/494 Surname: Aasen ------------------------- I was wondering if anyone could check out an individual went they went to the Minnesota archives. My cousins Uncle Ellef Aasen appears to have settled in Crookston, Polk County prior to his death. No one keeped up with him when he came to America from Norway. His family thinks he married and had a family. No information is available other than the following:Ellef Aasen was son of Clemmet Ellefsen Aasen (father) and Gunhild Marie > Iversdatter Tonseth. He was born 17 Feb 1871 in Roros town (Sor Trondelag > county) and left Oslo Harbour (Norway) on 17 Apr 1891 bound for the US. In > the papers it is written that he was bound for Crookston, Minnesota. He was > traveling by a ship owned by Angelo Rederi (shipping company). He was not > married when he left Norway. It is quite possible that he did marry in the > US. He died in 1930. Any information regarding possible family, wife, > children and/or death in Minnesota is appreciated. I live in Massachusetts.I amlooking to see if anyone can check the archives to verify he did pass away or didnt in Minnesota. If there is a record the informant and info would greatly help me. Thank George
