I, too have found in the 1900 census, references to Canada as being the birthplace of someone's parent/s. On mine, it said " Fr " written above the word Canada. This has to refer to the French-owned/French speaking area of Canada. In the same census, there also were the references to " Eng " written likewise. Now if someone with a better retention of their Canadian history than myself, can answer, I 'd like to know just which parts/provinces of Canada were French and which were English in 1900 ? Meg GREENWOOD / Oklahoma, USA

Anna What a wonderful job you did on the Honor roll, I read them all. Regards, Judy of Fallbrook _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

I've seen that listing before, along with "FR" beside my French-Canadians. I agree that it most likely means English Canada.

Might the "Eng" relate to their coming from the English-speaking community rather than from the French-speaking community in Canada? I don't have definite information on the issue, but such is my guess. Peace -- Ralph S. Carlson

Hello all, I received in the mail today a copy of the census that some of my relatives are on and I had a question as to why something was written this way. Okay, on the 1900 census column 14 & 15 for place of birth of father and mother it has listed Canada (Eng) for both of the parents. Both columns are that way. ANy suggestions or comments. Could it mean that they emmigrated? Kim Pollard Drew, Ms.

This ran in today's (April 2,2001) Detroit Free Press just in case someone is looking: James Taylor Auto innovator, yachtsman He got his idea from airplane wings - or rather, how wings were put together during World War II. The process was called bonding. And it was all James Taylor needed to see to develop a new way of making brakes and clutches for automobiles. Mr. Taylor's career started in 1936 at the Jefferson Assembly Plant. In 1950 he opened the Midwest Brake Bond Co., which bonded brakes and clutches for the automotive stamping industry. Along the way he bought a 72 foot yacht, raised three children and joined the Lochmoor Club, the Old Club and the Detroit Athletic Club. Mr. Taylor died Thursday. He was 83. His family said his pride and joy was his yacht, called Taylor Made. He was an active member of the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club for 36 years, where his family said, his robust and fiery personality left an impression. He also was a member of the Michigan Tooling Association, a Mason, York Rite, Scottish Rite and a Shriner. By the early 1990's, he opened a second company called Hibbing International Friction. He named the company for the small mining town in Minnesota where he grew up. Survivors include his wife, Helen Taylor; a son, Jim Taylor Jr.; daughters Joan Coyle and Joyce Johnston , and 12 grandchildren. A funeral service is at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Grosse Pointe Memorial Church, 16 Lake Shore Drive in Grosse Pointe Farms.

Ok I was just wondering because one I could not unsubscribe and it had a bunch of dirty pictures on it that Jacob had put on, the little shi---- fun fun fun------------He says no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but he was on the comp at that time. Your site sure has a lot of information on it. Quess what last night the mouse wouldn't move so I found othat I had to change the keyboard and the mouse plugs on it and if it still does that I am to take Two aspirins and call him in the morning.

I never came across that name in my research I thought id check the mail now before Jacob comes from school because then HE thinks the computer his all his twiggy

Hi Listers, A member of this list was generous and shared the 1934 Hibbing High School Class list with us. I added the information to the website under <School Class Lists>. Thank you to Barbara Hutchinson O'Dell! Enjoy, Shirley

Thanks for all the good ideas. I actually will be in Duluth monday and look into a few things if possible. All I have to work with is a possible warrant for arrest in the late 20's or early 30's, supposedly the reason he left about 32 and never returned. Only problem is he was having children there well after that. :-) Seems I have a bit of the rogue in my viens.

Thank you for posting this list. I found a relative who my uncle is namesake of. Dee

While I did not find any kin on the Honor Roll, I am impressed with the generosity that inspired its posting! Pat Hall

Hi Listers, A big thank you to Anna for transcribing all of the information and sending it to the list so that all of us could read it! Anna has given permission for the list to be placed on the St. Louis County MNGenWeb site - already done and can be found under <Book Transcriptions> or <War Casualties>. The names are not yet included in the Search Engine, that will be later today as I have a few queries to put online. Lets all look in our files and see what we have to share with the list! Shirley

Go to the Immigration and Naturalization web site (www.ins.usdog.gov) and look for a discussion of the rules. Before 1906, wives and minor children automatically became citizens when the husband/father became naturalized. Check with your local and state library to see if they have an index of naturalizations/immigrations. You didn't mention your state, but the Superior Public Library, Superior WI has been tremendously helpful to me. In so far as arrival in the US from Sweden, if you provide me with her soundex code, name, and anything else you know about date of arrival, port, ship, who she may have traveled with, destination, I may be able to check records for you the next time I go to the National Archives.

Hello Karen! You didn't mention any time frame, but the rule is: a woman and/or child became naturalized when the immigrant husband/father was naturalized. I have seen on the 1920 census where the woman hadn't even come to the U.S. yet and was naturalized by the husband's naturalization. And, no, she wouldn't have had to sign anything that would indicate when she arrived. Depending on your time frame, you might be able to check the husband's papers to get info on her immigration. Here's an interesting website that gives some info on naturalization: http://www.genealogy.com/31_donna.html?Welcome=986088821 Hope this helps! Anna in MN

Thank you for your hard work. I found someone to look for too. Pauline Majchrzak

Hi! I talked to a police officer some time ago and he told me that there is an officer on the Duluth Police force that is sort of an historian of the records. I can't remember his name, but I think it was Polish. He said to just call the police department and ask if the records are available and if you can talk to the record keeper or historian. I haven't done it my self yet but my husband's uncle was a police officer during that time, so if you find out anything, let me know. If you aren't able to call, let me know and I can do it, as I live in Duluth. Pauline Majchrzak Palumaj@aol.com

I received many pictures from a cousin that are from 1900 and perhaps a little earlier. One of them is a group of eight women, perhaps a graduating class or something. I recognize two of them and can name one of them. Would this be something I can scan in for the GenWeb to see if anyone can tell me where and why about the picture? I'm guessing it will help identify several people in the other pictures I have. carol peterson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Marshall" <raymarsh@mninter.net> To: <MNSTLOUI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2001 10:19 AM Subject: RE: [MNSTLOUI] Naturalization of a woman > Prior to women getting the right to vote in 1920? a woman automatically > became a citizen when she married a citizen.

Now that all of that information is typed up, do you think it will be added to the St. Louis, MN website? Seems like it could be helpful! Thanks Anna for all that work! DeeDee
