I think he is descended from Jacob Friedman and his wife (who was first Dionysius's wife). My memory is somewhat faded on this aspect. Dionysius died in the Civil War, I believe, and his brother Jacob married his widow. Does this sound correct? I know another descendant who is a genealogist too!

I have been looking for a birth in the Eden Valley area in July 1900. The birth wasn't registered with the counties of Stearns or Meeker or with the state. That only leaves me with a baptismal record. What Catholic churches were there in the area? Were there missionary priests that passed through and baptized people.

I am seeking any information on the following people. John Petty born Dec. 1807 in Chatham Co, NC died Dec. 1877 in Stearns Co, MN. married June 13, 1834 in Chatham Co, NC to Delilah Clark born Jan. 15, 1819 in Chatham or Orange Co, NC died Jan. 12, 1912 in Stearns Co, MN. If anyone know anything about this couple, please contact me privately. Thanks. Ann Torbett http://community.webtv.net/Luxci/TheAncestryofAnn

Tom, If you could see me I am jumping up and down with joy!! What a wonderful gift for the new year and another piece of the puzzle put together. I am always overwhelmed by the wonderful people who take the time to help others on these lists. With the info from Nancy and you I will be able to continue my research on the Sura's and Pohls who ended up in Washington State. God bless all, Happy New Year and happy hunting in 2002.

Lorelee, One more resource you might want to check is the microfilm of the marriage records of Stearns Co., which are available at your local Family History Center (of the LDS Later Day Saints, or Mormons). You have to order the film first for a rental fee of $3.25. 1882-3 is kind of early but their site <familysearch.org> can tell you what years are covered by the records. Once you find out about Maria Sura, you might want to try the microfilm records of Falkowitz, Schlesien for her origins in Silesia. Many of the people from that area (Opole) in MN came from the Falkowitz church area. And I have seen the name Sura in those parish records. Nancy Pundsack
