Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/427 Surname: Stephanson, Lind, Olsson, Larson ------------------------- Hi: I'm looking for info re: my Paternal Grandparents and their families. My Great Great Grandfather was named Lars Olsson and came from Sweden. He married Ingeborg Olsdotter in 1864, and had 11 children. One of them, Lars Louie, was my Great Grandfather, and I had always been told his name was Lars Larson, and that he changed his name to Lars Lind. He married Elizabeth (Lizzy) Stephanson (unsure of the spelling) who was from Crookston, MN (Polk County). They had 8 children and one of them, Willard, was my grandfather. He married Cora Marguerite Appleby and lived in Bemidji, MN. They had 4 children, and their son Willard, is my dad. I would appreciate any info you can give me. Please email me directly. Thanks
