Susan, Thanks very much!! That helps me a lot as I thought that Emma was born in Bethel, VT also, which would have adversely affected (and has) my research. How did you get access to the Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society? Is it available on the internet? Again, thanks very much, as you have helped me considerably!
