You are just about the best person that has answered me today. The co-incidence of the Lillian Behrens is just ironic and Olmsted co also. And i just do appreciate it for all your help in straightening out everything.This means i have a stray John Behrens to sort out.He has to be related somehow...

Re: Daniel Northrup and family

I would like information about the Northrups. Eliza Josephine Northrup Flansburg is my great grandmother. I posted a picture of Daniel & Winifred's grave. One of their sons was killed in a car accident, but I didn't get a copy of the paper from the historical society in Brainerd, MN. I live a ways away. Barbranta@yahoo.com the first letter is small but my iPod keeps putting a capital. Do you know if Daniel's father is John and grandfather is Cornell of Ridgefield, Connecticut? I can't find any positive connections. I am making a guess. My grandmother died when mom was born & her dad died when she was 14, so she didn't know any family history. Barb

John Rousseau in 1935 living in Brainerd

Delayne_Duhaime — 2012-08-26 17:29:12Z

I'v been working on my Rousseau family brick wall for 15 years with no luck. Now I'm trying a different approach to research but I need your help. I'm trying to piece together Rousseau families in Minnesota and Michigan to find out which families are which.

1940 Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN census

has John Rousseau born about 1878 in Minnesota, white male, widowed and it says in 1935 he was living in Brainerd, Crow Wing.

Does anyone know anything about this John Rousseau from Brainerd?

I have also found a US WW1 Draft Registration Card 1917-1918 for:

John Rousseau born April 15, 1876 and was living in Duluth, MN when he filed. Address was 2609 RR St. Duluth, he was a Laborer for Scott Graff Lumber Company and his nearest relative was Rose Rousseau (I'm guessing his wife)

I have a hunch these may be the same John Rousseau but as of yet I have no proof.

I hope someone here can help me with John Rousseau from Brainerd. If you have any information please let me know.

Thanks,
Delayne

Re: VANDERWERKER

lanorak_1 — 2012-08-20 02:52:04Z

There is an Earl married to an Amanda/Vanda Vanderwerker in Coos they operators on a stock ranch on the 1950 census.
The only reason I ran across this is that my grandmother Mary Elizabeth Burk (johnston) married a E Harold Vanderwerker. I actually have a bank loan card for him in Coos from 1951. I was looking for additional information on my grandmothers life here in Oregon and remembered this.
and then saw your post.

Re: GUNNER REDIN

swanson425 — 2012-08-01 01:48:48Z

I was raised in East Longmeadow. I am going on memory, but I believe you can find the Redin family living in East Longmeadow in the 1900 census by searching under Redding.
Another tip is that a lot of Swedish immigrants who lived in both East Longmeadow and Vermont were quarry workers. Try Proctor, VT. Lots of the EL quarrymen came from Sweden by way of Portland, CCt.

AUGUST (“GUST”) BERNHARD CARLSON, Crow Wing Cty, Minnesota 1900-1920

Looking for information about AUGUST BERNHARD CARLSON, who was also known as GUST CARLSON.
Birth: 13 Sep 1886 in Sweden. Immigration: approx. 1904
Residences: Ironton, Minnesota in 1913 and Crosby, Minnesota in 1918
Marriage: Married ELLA MAE BURGESS (also known as MAE or MAY BURGESS)
28 Jul 1920 in Crow Wing County, Minnesota

Gust worked in the mines near Ironton, Minnesota, and may have vacationed at Serpent Lake, Minnesota. After their marriage Gust and Mae Carlson (August B. Carlson and Ella Mae Burgess) moved to Detroit, Michigan

Looking for any public record, city of origin in Sweden, names of siblings, places of employment, other residences, etc.

Lisa

Re: Julius Kreklau of Daggett Brook & Brainerd, Crow Wing, MN

sharonsue69 — 2012-03-16 21:02:10Z

Julius or Louise are related to me in some distant way. Perhaps Louise's mother was one of the Weidemann sisters or half sisters. Marquart sounds familiar.
Between 1905 and 1916, in city directories, the family of Julius, Louise, Emma, Otto, Antoneta/Antonette and Robert lived at 615 Cottage Street in Merrill, Wisconsin. Another person on list at Merril was Mrs O. Kienietz.
Their address is on a list that came down to me from my great grandmother Auguste Bluwernick Rosentreter, wife of Carl Gustav Rosentreter of Oswego, Clackamas county, Oregon.
Johanna Louise Kemnitz was the mother of the sisters.
Today I heard back from the Merrill Historical Society and they have a Larry and Linda Kreklau in the phone book in Schofield Wisconsin a suburb of Wausau.

Swedish Clara Lutheran Church

I have a large picture of the confirmation class from the Swedish Evangelical Clara Church or Swedish Clara Lutheran Church of Brainerd from about 1911. My uncles Oscar Ernest (Ernie) and John Edward (Ed) Swanson and are on it. I'd love to find one that includes my grandmother, Ellen Swanson. She was born in 1894, so maybe would be in the confirmation class of 1909 or so? Other information about the church would be welcome as well.

Re: Gilbert & Louise Milsten

SKECATS — 2012-01-31 00:35:23Z

I read all of your posts and you FOUND what I having been looking for! The H. Gilbert Millisten is our Gulbrand/Gilbert Milsten, 8/12/1856-10/27/1903. No wonder I never found him, the name was totally changed!!We were told he died in St. Paul, but they had no record. Now we know why we couldn't connect!! I have all of the other info you found, but this was the mystery. Maybe we'll get the cert. to see why he died so suddenly, right after he was married, and before birth of only child, Gilbert Jr. 12/23/2903. Thank you for your help!

Re: Gilbert & Louise Milsten

barbdale_1 — 2012-01-30 02:05:19Z

At www.familysearch.org, there is a death for an M. Gilbert Millisten who died October 27, 1903, in Saint Paul, Ramsey County. He is buried in Sacred Heart (town) His parents were listed as Halvor and Elsne. He was born in Norway.

Re: Gilbert & Louise Milsten

Gilbert O. Rust and Louisa G. Milsten married in Renville County on March 27, 1907. Louise Rust died in Pope County on May 2, 1948, and Gilbert Rust died there on January 19, 1953.

Re: Gilbert & Louise Milsten

barbdale_1 — 2012-01-30 01:47:09Z

I believe the Gilbert 1903-1980 was the son of Gilbert and Louise. I found Gilbert Millsten, single in 1900 in Sacred Heart Renville County, Minnesota. In 1905, Louise Milsten is listed with her children Perna and Gilbert L, again in Sacred Heart.

In 1920, the following family is in Pope County
Gilbert Rust, age 38
Louise Rust, age 41
Ethel Rust, age 11
Florence Rust, age 8
Orien? Rust, female, age 5
Bernadine Rust, age 3 2/12
Pernille Milsten, age 19 step daughter
Gilbert Milsten, age 16, step son

Pernille Milsten died in Chippewa County on September 7, 1924. Her parents are listed as Gilbert Milsten and Louise Gerde.

ANDERSON's parents confirmed my suspicions so I could find them in the Norwegian handwritten birth, marriage and census records for Enebakk, Akershus on the 'digitalarkivversit. It's an exceptional website and my scant Norwegian vocabulary is growing. Andrew (Andreas) ANDERSEN married Anne Marie HOLMSDATTER Oct. 28, 1852 in Enebakk. Helena CHRISTIANSEN was born Sept. 25, 1860 to Christian LARSEN and Larine LARSDTR. (Lorine Larson) The family appears in the 1875 Norwegian census for Enebakk, farm name Svingen, household 216. I remember my grandma Gertrude ADAMS's brother Tom. He had beautiful eyes. Della was known as Babe. I've found her family on the 1905 WI census for Stubbs, Rusk Cy, and the 1900 Federal census in Big Bend, WI. Louis LaBreche (Sept. 30, 1876-Oct. 14, 1959) is listed in Bruce Catholic Cemetery, WI according to WSGS. I heard Helena worked off her passage as a servant for the PILLSBURY's in MN, but haven't any facts yet.

Jerold H O'Neill died 7-2-1955 in Crow Wing County. Betting it was an accident as he did not live there.

Would it be possible to get any information from the death certificate or would there be anything in the newspaper.

His body was brought back to Estherville Iowa for burial in St Patrick's Cemetery. We are trying to get obits for all our burials.

Thanks
Mary Sicard
