This project has brought me into contact with several Luxembourg researchers. On May 28th - St. Cloud, Luxemburg (MN) and St. Nicholas will be visited by Mr. Rene Daubenfeld and 12 fellow Luxembourgers who will be touring the upper Midwest to see the various settlements by Luxembourgers. We are honored that they have selected Sterans County for a stop! Mr. Daubenfeld has a particular interest in the following Luxembourg families who came to Stearns County: Burggraff, Gross, Lutgen, Grandgenet, Frank, Huberty (the Albany family), Beisch, Rome, Majerus from Brachtenbach. His specific interet is in people from Canton Wiltz! There may be a few more that I have missed. However, the group is interested in all Luxembourg descendants who live in this area. The group would like to meet with fellow Luxembourgers while in St. Cloud on Saturday, May 28th. If you have an interest, please contact me at my e-mail address for more information. gleisen@cloudnet.com .

Fairhaven has a big Lutheran Church, and has been there a long time. MN Death certificates at the MNHistorical Society are not all there. My grandparents are not there and they died in Redwood County. One of us could check the obits that we have at the Stearns History Museum for this county.

The film with the marriage index is # 1379045. The film for the first marriage record is # 1379047 and for the second record it's #1379048 The record for the first marriage of William H. Metcalf Jr. is in Book N, page 66, No. 6068. It says the license application is dated 11 Nov 1892 and the license is dated the same. The certificate of marriage returned by the "minister of the gospel" (no church name given) is dated 24 November, 1892. It was filed and recorded 30 Nov. 1892. The details were: State of Minnesota, County of Stearns, at Fair Haven. The minister of the gospel who performed the ceremony and signed the original was W. J. Bullivant [her father?]. The couple were William H. Metcalf Jr of Stearns County and Nellie H. Bullivant of Stearns. The witnesses were F. A. Hill and Ida Lytle. The second marriage is in film 1379048, Book Q (the index says Book R), number 8380. The license is granted to William H. Metcalf Jr. of Stearns County and Carry L. Day of Stearns and dated 8 June 1901. The certificate is also dated 8 June 1901 at St. Cloud. The "minister of the Gospel" is E. V. Campbell. The witnesses are: Freeman Day and Ida Day. It was filed and recorded 10 June 1901. The death record for Wm. Henry Metcalf is from Maine Prairie, Stearns County, Minn. He died 1909, Sept. 25. He was born 1841 Nov 1. His age was 67 years, 10 months, 28 days. He was a farmer, born in Connecticut. His father was Fred Metcalf, born in Connecticut, and his mother was Rahana Perry, born in Massachusetts. He died of heart failure; a contributing cause was cardiac asthma. He was buried in Fair Haven on 9/26/09. This family is listed by Ancestry.com on their World Tree. The date of Henry Sr's birth is slightly different there, i.e. 1842, which was maybe taken from a census. That site has a lot more info about the family. If you can't access it, let me know. It does not have the last name of Martha. I don't have the birth record films. If you could get the birth records for the baby that shows up on the 1900 census you could find the mother's last name (well theoretically, anyway). It is strange that there are no death records for Martha or Wm. Henry Jr. on the Minnesota Historical Society's death index site. Of course Martha could have married again. Nancy Pundsack

I had the general outline but not the facts to go with. So far as Wm., Jr. goes, he moved to another county in Minnesota. I really wonder about Martha because she disappears between the 1910 census and the 1920 census. Her two children are Clifford and Janetta. (Janetta's first name looks like "Trixie" on the 1910 census.) Thanks to Don Olson of Andover, MN, I did find out that Martha's maiden name was Colee. Thanks again for your time and effort.
