This site uses today's street names, so you might not get exactly the results you want if the name has changed I sent her the link for Eagle Street on the weekend. 222 still shows, but the street is now Eagle Parkway, I think it was. Will be looking to see what I can find today. Annie in Minnesota

Thanks to all for the information on Eagle Street. I did follow the link to Mapquest that Anne sent showing Eagle Parkway. I will try to locate someone who has an older city directory and find out what was at 222 Eagle St. in 1920. Not sure if that information will give me any leads but the more pieces that I collect the better my changes to solve the puzzle. Ole & Margaret Nelson have really been a research challange. I have looked at all the online US.Census indexes for Minnesota but can't find a match. He was born in Norway in 1851, immigrated with his parents in 1857. In 1878 he married Margaret Tallaksen, b. 1853, in Ozaukee County Wisconsin. In 1880 they were running a boarding house in Northfield, Rice County MN. Then they dropped off the face of the earth, hmmm or possibly were wandering around some desert for 40 years. In January 1920 Ole shows up for my great-grandfather's funeral, listing his residence as St. Paul. On a trip to MN I found Ole's death certificate (1923) at the MN Historical. He was a widow living at 222 Eagle St.. The death certificate is difficult to read but possibly says he was a resident of the city for 20 years. I do not know what happened to Margaret or if they had any children. I can't find Margaret's dc or burial. Any suggestions? Judy Vilas county, Wisconsin
