Name of Researcher |
NEILSON/NELSON, Frank A. Shown in the 1900 census as living in Willmar and on the 1905 and 1910 census as living in Minneapolis. His birthdate was 1875, birthplace Iowa. I am really trying to determine his parents' names ? presumably they lived in Kandiyohi, also. The name was listed in most documents as Nelson, but somehow morphed into Neilson by the mid-1900s Frank's wife's name was Lavina (or Anna Lavina) Mattson, and they had one son, Myles (sometimes Miles) enlisted as Nelson, Neilson on his tombstone. | |
HEIN, Frederick W. and 3 youngest children Ottila, August and William immigrated from Germany abt 1872 and settled in Roseville Twp until his death 1888. | |
OLSON, Kristian (Christ) and Olina (Lena) lived in Arctander township. They were married in Norway in 1902 and came over then. Their first daughter was born here in the same year. | |

JONES, WHEELER, TAIT......1850 to 1870. I am still keen to communicate with anyone who has any information on my great grandparents. Samuel Foulkes JONES and Matilda JONES (originally THOMAS). Both were settlers who fled Diamond Lake during the 1862 uprising, along with the FOOTs, the WHEELERs, and the TAITs. I think a number of the families stayed in Forest City (Meeker County) till about 1865, but returned to Diamond Lake. Samuel and Matilda were married in 1870, and settled on Vermillion, South Dakota. I have correspondence from Samuel and his brother William to the rest of the family living in Wales, describing part of the uprising. | |

Thank you. | |

SWEDLUND (Olaf) - 1880 | |
OLIN, Minnie & Ericka - Minnie lived in Willmar 1910 to sometime after 1930. I don't know if she ever married, but sometime after 1914 her mother Ericka Olin came to live with her until her death. I know Ericka is buried in Fairview Cemetery in Willmar. I would like to know if they appear in any census from 1910 to 1930. In 1914 Minnie's nieces, Clara and Edith, came to live with her. If there is a 1915 census for the county, they may appear on that. Thank you for any help you may give me. We will be coming to Willmar for the day on August 26th or 27th, 2003. Is there a place where I could get more info? | |

in particular and a third for the collateral line. 1. Mary
Ida ENG, daughter of Mary (Mari) and Andrew (Andres) ENG born

MICKELSON - Amanda MICKELSON died April 1940 at her son's home, Hjalmar HOAGLUND, at 324 N. 7th St., Willmar. I believe her father Erick Berglund died there also around 1878; someone said he drowned in a lake there. She had a brother, Charles O. WILDES, who was living in Willow River at the time of her death and he was born around 1868. I am searching for him, an obituary, a death date, anything but so far no luck. Amanda's first husband was Peter HOAGLUND, died there in 1896. Her second husband Mr. MICKELSON died there in 1923. Her other children were Albert HOAGLUND, Julius and Carl. Any info you could give me would be very much appreciated in my endeavor to find my ancestors. | |
STJARNBERG / NORBERG - I am trying to trace my grandfather's twin brother: "Johan STJARNBERG" who may have changed his name to "John NORBERG." He arrived in New York on July 10, 1902 at age 19. He was born 5 December, 1883 in O. Broby, Sweden. Shipping manifest states he was headed for "son Axel Lundstrom, Kandiyohi." I have a copy of a letter he sent to his younger brother, dated 13 December 1949. He lists his address as John NORBERG, Atwater, Minnesota. In the letter he said he participated in the WWI but was too old for WWII. He says he was married and had children with the youngest son living at home in 1949. I don't know if he changed names as it appears, or if he was working for a John NORBERG?? I believe he had his own place, probably farm, in 1949, or worked on a farm? I cannot find a trace of any body with the names of STJARNBERG, NORBERG, or Lundstrom in Kandiyohi in any census, ancestry.com, or Family History Centre databases. Any information on Johan STJARNBERG/John NORBERG would be greatly appreciated. | |

I'm trying to find a member of
the OLSEN or BAKKEN families that lived in Kandiyohi Co, late 1800's early 1900's. I have an old family Bible with names of these families I'd like to see this treasure go home to... Can you help? In the past I've listed found stuff, folks want it but not kin to the rightful family. Any help appreciated! |

PERKINS -
My Grandfather's name was George Henry PERKINS. He was born in
Morrisville, Vermont in 1851. I have pretty well traced his family
history back to 1596 so that part is OK (I think). I located him
in the 1880 United States Census living with Hiram R. GALE (who married
George's sister) and his family in Willmar, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota
- George was listed as widowed. Family History Library Film
1254624, NA Film Number T9-0624, Page Number 86B. He was a real
estate dealer. He married Hattie SPICER (possibly changed from
SPEISER). Her father was supposedly Swiss and mother Irish.
They had five girls, I believe, in Willmar, Minnesota: Hazel,
Dorothy, Lulu, Lutine, Georgia (my mother), a boy named George, and May,
a daughter by George's first marriage. I knew the family gad moved
to Canada and I located them on the 1906 Canada Census living in
Winnipeg, Manitoba - District #10, Subdistrict 03+G (Ward three) page
34. They moved back to the States to Long Beach, Calif. but I
don't know when. I have no information on them during the years
between the 1880 U.S. Census and the 1906 Canadian Census.
I still need to find the following: There's probably all sorts of other things I need to know too but that's all I can think of right now. If you can't help me with this hopefully you can direct me to someone who can. Many thanks. |
