Looking for any info including obits for anyone with the above names from the Pine River, Pequot Lakes, Brainerd areas.

My Great Grandmother's name was Ida Mae Fremling Bloomstrom, but I have almost no information on her. She lived and died in Brainerd, (CrowWing Co.?) . She married Melvin Bloomstrom, and had four children: Jim, Barbara, Lois, and another son, whose name I can't remember. My grandmother was Lois Mae Bloomstrom. I have very little information about this side of my family, but I would love to know more or share searching for more information on Fremling.

I am also doing some research on Bloomstrom. My grand aunt Elise (Alice) Botten married an Alvin Bloomstrom while she lived in Brainerd. Only at the beginning, she is not a high priority. I have pulled at least one death certificate for a Bloomstrom in Brainerd (Johanna, I think).

Re: your msg abt Ida Fremling Bloomstrom. She was a sister
of my father. If your msg is still valid, you may contact me
and I can tell you what I know, which isn't a great deal.
You may know as much as I do about her. But I will tell you
what I can.

I am a member of the Fremling - Santapakka family. The Lee's
too as they were brothers of my grandmother . I didn't know
them but heard of them. I would be most happy to hear from
you to see if you have info about my grandparents, Zacharias
and Anna (Santapakka)Fremling.

I don't know a lot - but Ida Fremling Bloomstrom was my aunt - my dad's sister/

I an also a member of this family - they were my grandparents and I have been trying to track them.I've neen confused since I've seen my grandmother listed as Anna Santapakka, Anna Cando, Anna K, Lee and her brother as John Lee and Santapakka. So if you are still around please reply.

Hello. I just started researching my grandmother's side of the family. My great grandmother was Caroline Fremling (she was married to John Karl Hill). Her parents were Anna Santapakka and Zacahrias Fremling, I believe. My grandmother's (Doris Hill) memory is a little fuzzy now. She remembers very little of her grandparents, Anna and Zacharias. If anyone has any info they can share with me on that side of the family, I would greatly appreciate it! Taking a trip to Finland in December and I'd like to have as much of the family tree fleshed out as possible.
