Looking for a photograph of Hans Johnsen Haga Sogn, who was born in Feb. 1814, and died in Jun. 1900 in Canton, SD. He came with his son Lars, daughter-in-law Maria, wife Eline, and daughter Maria to the US in spring 1869. If any descendants are reading this, do you think you might have a photo of Hans?

Millage

famnuts — 2012-12-08 03:48:02Z

Hello, I am looking for Millage family researchers in South Dakota. I am a descendent of Joseph Millage (1812-1904). Joseph was born in New York and eventually moved to Lincoln County and then Union County and back. He may have moved with John and Clarissa Millage. We are hoping to find, among other things, parents for Joseph.

In July 1889 Asiel and Margaret (Wood) Wilcox lost three of their children withn days of each other. Nancy, Nettie and Albert all died between July 10th & 22nd. Does anyone know what happened? Was there an epidemic at that time in the area? I tried researching on line and couldn't find anything specific. Thanks

Van Woudenbergs of Fairview and Canton

wendy5259 — 2011-12-26 21:49:16Z

Looking for information regarding Edward J Van Woudenberg family of Fairview and Canton areas. He was born in 1891 in Holland as the youngest son of Hendrik and Maria Jeannetta Van Woudenberg of Rock Valley, Iowa. I believe his wife died in Canton on June 16, 1965. Can anyone confirm this? From the same information I have that Edward, who lived in the aforementioned areas, died by suicide in Colorado Springs just a year or two prior to his wife, at the age of 73. I believe they may have been married on 6/10/1914 in Fairview. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

KjellEinar — 2011-11-18 07:48:16Z

This was overwhelming, a lot of information.

Thank you so much, Beth.

Census 1900 for Vardø (you wrote "Vardo"), northernmost county in Norway: http://www.digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbas...
This is Alfred Wilhelm Johanessen (Baldwin), serving in the military ("Gevorben artillerist" - meaning he volunteerly joined the military... "Vardøhus" is a fortress).

I have to correct my grammar, "nowadays" was originally written in two or three words - like "now a days", now the correct form is - "nowadays".

Have a splendid day.

First Met at Fire

Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Baldwin, who met when he went to fight a fire at her home in Northern Norway, will observe their 55th wedding anniversary, Saturday, February 14.
The Baldwins will be honored at an open house from 1 to 4 o'clock Sunday, February 15, at their home, 18531 Fremont Av.

Soldier Fought Fire

Baldwin, 82, and his wife, the former Lena Olsen, 75, are natives of Norway. Baldwin served five years in an army artillery unit when a young man. It was during his military service in 1899 that Baldwin was called to fight the fire in an apartment-like structure where his wife-to-be lived in Vardo, Norway.
"When I got there, I ordered her and several other people out of the house," Baldwin recalled.
Baldwin came to the United States in 1901 and his wife the next year. The couple was married February 14, 1904, in Minneapolis. They came to Seattle in 1906.

Worked in Naval Shipyard

In 1917 the Baldwins purchased a ranch at Bangor, Kitsap County. The property later became part of the Bangor Ammunition Depot. Baldwin was a shipwright many years at the Bremerton Naval Shipyard. Later he owned and operated a cabinet shop in Edmonds. He retired from the shipyard during the Second World War.
The couple owns a summer home at Maple Grove Beach on Camano Island. Baldwin is a veteran member of Seattle Aerie No. 1, Eagles.

The Baldwins have a daughter, Agnes Baldwin, Seattle.

Thanks for responding.

After my posting 31 July 2009 I have found further information like census 1920 King County, Washington (WA), name Lena Baldwin, married to Alfred Baldwin: http://kjell-einar.com/PMA/OSO_Census_1920_WA_KingCo.JPG

Earlier Lenvik was spelled Lenvig (until early 1900) - now a days only spelling Lenvik is in use.

Re: Shebal - Moscrip family

bethrau1 — 2011-11-13 00:24:49Z

I have learned not to take census records as 'fact'. Even the one where my gggrandfather was the enumerator / census taker!

I have found glaring census mistakes in my own family, including a daughter being listed as "wife" to her widowed father, not to mention mixed-up ages, birth places, names and etc. Sometimes things are mangled so badly that it seems probable that a neighbor or a child gave the information!

Good luck in your research,

Re: Shebal - Moscrip family

KathieMT — 2011-11-13 00:18:17Z

Thanks for the reply.
It is a bit of a puzzler to me since all I know on the family is what I have been finding online and there is quite a bit of it online between Ancestry and Find A Grave. Seems like there isn't anyone researching this family that I've found so far.
According to Arthur's draft card his birthdate is 03 May 1900.
The only rationale I can think of for Nellie being on the 1900 census is a visitor in the home who was caring for the new mother must have given the info from a family bible not knowing that Nellie had died but why she didn't list Arthur is another guess!
Oh well--one of these days I'll find out!

Re: Oline Sofie Olsen, emigrated from Norway 1903.

bethrau1 — 2011-11-12 23:44:14Z

I believe I have found her in a passenger list.

S.S. Celtic, sailing from Liverpool March 18, 1903, arrived New York, March 28, 1903

Line 24

OLSEN, Lina, age 20, female, single, servant. Citizen of Norway. City of last residence: Lenvig [might say Lewig]. Destination: Canton, South Dakota, joining friend [I can't tell who she is joining. There is no person listed with a Canton address; it might be ? Bold, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which doesn't make sense for a destination of Canton, South Dakota].

I can't find her in any later records.

Do you know whether there were other family members who emigrated to the U.S.? Does the family know if she married?

Re: Shebal - Moscrip family

bethrau1 — 2011-11-12 23:01:47Z

The 1900 census was enumerated June 30th and July 2nd. In your family tree you have son Arthur's birth date as May of 1900.

The 1910 census lists six children with five still living. A History of South Dakota book found on Google Books has a biography of Joseph Shebal which states he has six children with five still living.

The 1900 census correctly states that mother Annie had had five children with four still living... I believe it was a mistake, albeit a large one, by whoever gave the enumerator the family information.

I have seen deceased family members listed as living, as 'part of the family', but this is the first time I've seen a deceased older child listed but a newborn not.

Shebal - Moscrip family

KathieMT — 2011-11-12 17:36:40Z

Looking to fill in a few blanks on the family tree and ran into this little problem . . . Now I know that sometimes children were named for a deceased sibling but this makes no sense to me. How can she be on the 1900 census with the same birth date (6 Aug 1893) but with a death date of 1896 on her gravestone?
The only thing I can think of is there were twin girls born and the living girl was given the name of the deceased one? But there is no twins anywhere in the family lines!
Can't seem to locate any other Shebal's born on that date or a South Dakota death index that lists her.

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, I am not directly related to either Sherman or Lois. The Ulriksons are linked to a Sivesind family that is related by marriage to some of my mother's aunts. I do have one thing in common with Lois, though: we both graduated from Augustana Academy in Canton.

Niggli, Reichelt families

geniegreen — 2008-10-19 22:49:03Z

I would like to network with descendants of Johann “John” NIGGLI (Nickley, Nicollai etc. on census records) who married Louisa GEISER and died 11 Dec 1911 in either Turner or Minnehaha County; some descendants lived in Lincoln County. Some surnames that I believe are associated with this family are MILLER, STORCH, REICHELT, HOLTHE, SMITH, GUSTAFSON, ASCHOFF, FRANCE, GERRY and GUENTHER.

John NIGGLI was born in Switzerland and came with his parents and siblings to Cuyahoga County, Ohio. I am interested in when where the parents, John Sr. and Mary (STUDER) NIGGLI died.

My focus is Barbara NIGGLI, young John’s sister, who married William H. BESTOR in 1865 and died (when? where?) before 1879, when BESTOR remarried.

This is the family. The father Thomas JL is listed in many census' with differnet birth locations. The "L" stands for Lewis but a grandson says the "L" stands for liar.

I have not found Omer in other census, and I do not belive he had any children with his first wife Iva Wineteer or his second wife. Minnie Rose Haffner. Hoping to locate an obit to confirm this for either Omer or Minnie. I have the death / burial permits and and no children are stated.

living descendents of Lars and Louisa Anderson Larson

cats4joey — 2008-05-06 14:43:32Z

I am looking for information on Lars and Louisa Anderson Larson. I believe Louisa was the sister of my Grandmother, Ida Sofia Anderson Knipfer. Louisa's birthdate is October 4 1865. Their residence was in Delapre, South Dakota but Louisa ended up passing away in Sioux Falls in 1951. My grandmother moved to Wisconsin, however I believe the rest of her siblings stayed in the Iowa, South Dakota area. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Reply: Skorheim Family Moe Lutheran Parish 125 years (1872-1997) Hudson, SD

Hi Jeanette! Boy! This is so weird! I've just started back on my genealogy research this last week and decided that I would get back into looking into the Skorheim family a bit more. (See attachments to this post)It seems that ancestry.com have added many marriage certificates and WWI Military Registrations in the last year or so. My mother's Aunt Gena Erickson who was born and raised in Norway Township, Lincoln Co. married Brady Blom and they lived in Sioux City, Iowa for many years and raised a family there. My Mom and Dad and I met with cousins from Sioux City 4 years ago in Canton, SD and we got together with other family members for genealogy fun. Brady Blom was the adopted son of John and Elsie Skorheim which is documented on the 1910 Census for Norway Township. Please contact me at parryltd4@aol.com. Thank you,Sue

I saw your post and I am also researching the Skorheim family.

The line I am working on is John Skorheim and Else Thompson and their daughter Inga M. Skorheim who married Newton Pippenger.

What line are you researching? I have two books that have the names of people you are researching:
History of Lincoln County South Dakota 1985
Moe Parish Pioneers 1982

If you don't have access to these books, I would be happy to get you the info.

Do you have any information about John and Else? I will share what information that I have on the Skorheims. Let me know what line you are working on.

Jeanette

This book is not indexed but I glanced through the family histories and found several Rommereim families, Martin and Olive Loe and two Ingebrigtson families. Please email me directly for more information.

My sympathy on the loss of your father and step-father. I have no information on either Pederson or Peterson. I do know that Holly and Cindy spent most of their married life in Vermillion, South Dakota but moved to California sometime during the last ten years. If you are interested in their address, it is possible that the church they attended in Vermillion might have it. My daughter lives in Vermillion (I'm from Topeka, KS) and I'm sure would be willing to check on that if you are interested.
