Regarding Madeline Turner's request and disclosure that she is doing research on the RAD I and Wentzel families. I would be interested in hearing from you, Madeline. In doing research on my ancestors in Polk County, I found the following: In a 1913 death notice in the Crookston Times for Fredericke Waterstradt, listed as deceased children/stepchildren to Fredericke were Mrs. Henry Krogman, Mrs. Radi and the first Mrs. Julius Zimmerman. A Carl and Minna Radi were listed in St. Paul's registry as godparents to Martha Krogman, daughter of Berthat Waterstradt and Henry Krogman. This was Sept. 1899. My take was that Minna Radi was the former Wilhelmina Waterstradt and a daughter to Fredericke Waterstradt. I also believe Fredericke was the mother of my grandmother, Ida Waterstrat Grauert. It would be interesting to learn if your Radi was related to my Waterstrat.
