Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/385 Surname: Clairmont ------------------------- The MN Historical Society in St. Paul has two valuable sources for Polk County: Pictorial Atlas of Polk County (1970) and Compendium of History and Biography of Polk County. The Atlas lists landowners by township and pictures of local families sorted by township. The Compendium has biographies of local families. If you know they homesteaded in Polk, try the blm.gov web site. I hope this helps.
