Hi everyone: Today I found our library has the 1905 Minnesota State Census. Not Federal Census but State. I ran through the roll for Ely and found Slovenes and other "Austrians" working in the mines along with Lits and Swedes. Very cold place also. Maybe one day someone call extract all the names and publish them. I would do it if I had a laptop to take to the library with me to use while reading the film. Just thought I would pass this source along to other researchers and hope that you find your family when they first migrated to America. Found several Peterlin families by the way if that means anything to anyone. If I hit the Lotto, maybe I can afford to buy that laptop and make a lot of you happy. But until then..... Happy New Year to All. Poldi
