The message should be changed from Miller/Muller to Weber. I actually am looking for information on a Peter Weber who married Elizabeth Binsfeld. Peters' parents were John and Jennie Weber from Darwin Township, Meeker County. Elizabeths' parents were still the Michael Binsfelds from Cold Spring. Sorry for the inconvienence. (I'm getting kind of sleepy). Thanks again.

January 14, 2002 1860 Federal Census The Stearns 1860 Federal Census is gradually making its way online. The transcription is around 30% complete with proofreading actively being done on the remaining portion. This Census was transcribed by Sandra Hawkins and proofread by April Phillips for the USGenWeb Census Project. Sandra, thanks for all your efforts to bring the 1860 to the online world -- we greatly appreciate the time and energy you spent on this undoubtedly difficult undertaking.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Zimmerman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TJB.2ACI/1270.1 Message Board Post: Pauline -- There was a Joseph Zimmerman listed in the 1880 census of Stearns Co. in Albany Township (page 514B). He was age 1 in June, 1880. He was the son of Joseph and Catherine Zimmerman, ages 50 and 30, born Prussia and Bohemia respectively, and sibling to Louisa, Anna, Kate and John, ages 7, 6, 5 and 3 in the census, all born in Minnesota (as was Joseph). The parents and brother John appear to be buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Albany, MN. There were a number of Zimmerman(n) families in Stearns Co. in this time period, some of which were influential in local commerce. You state that Joseph was born in St. Cloud... do you have any real proof of that, or could that location be the result of the "nearest big city" syndrome? --Tom

Hello, I have just typed in each of the landowners on the 1875 Stearns Map that I have. I started in the NW corder of the county, went East and then started at the West again in the next tier of townships. Most of the names are in townships on the Eastern side of the County. Don't know why but that is how Mr. O. E. Garrison of St. Cloud drew this map. Please feel free to ask questions.

Phil: The original note was: Range 30 was to the east of the subject making the subject in Eden Lake Twp, not Luxemburg. John wrote the Range 30 by mistake. Additionally, if anyone would need some info, I do have an 1875 large map of Stearns that I would be happy to look up what I can. Best Regards, Karen in Iowa

Thanks again Phil. I tried that .....outfitters...site again. I had tried to access that first part about "maps and meridians of bases..." That part is shut down because of litigation but the rest does work fine.

Phil, I see I have thrown you off by a mistake in my initial inquiry. The farms aren't 3 miles north east of Eden Valley but more like 3 miles east and a fraction north.

Thanks Phil, I had tried that ...outfitters... site but it is shut down. The farms aren't in section 24 they are in sections 31 and 32. My map shows that. It doesn't show the township and range. Now I have figured them out (I think) as township 122 and range 30W.

I have some copies of old maps showing who owned which farm. I'm trying to figure out the legal descriptions. The farms are about 3 miles north east of Eden Valley in section 31. I'm trying to figure out the township and range. The township one above is 123 so would it be 124? The range 1 to the east is 30 so would it be 31? Is there a site to figure this out?
