Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/347 Surname: General ------------------------- Researchers unfamiliar with western Polk County, especially the East Grand Forks area, should be aware of important facts. EGF is on the ND border. Across the border (Red River of the North), is Grand Forks, Grand Forks County, ND. EGF has never had a hospital and until the mid-1960s did not have a cemetery (Resurrection). If you believe a birth/death/burial was "in East Grand Forks," you should try Grand Forks (vitalrec@state.nd.us). The two oldest cemeteries in Grand Forks are Calvary and Memorial Park.
