Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/534 Surname: Meland and Simpson ------------------------- I also have information re:Martin Meland and Anna Simpson. They had two children Theodore Emil and Joseph Martin. Both were born in Crookston, Polk County, MN. I also have other information. Martin was born in Dane County and Anna Simpson was from the Viroqua area down by LaCrosse. Martin left the famly, I believe shortly after Joseph was born (1891). His family, according to his mother's Will, was never heard from again, and Ted Meland never knew where is father was. It is nice to know that someone else is also interested in where Martin went!
