Looking for information on John A. CHAPMAN.
His wife, Sarah C. (Lathrop) CHAPMAN
1817-1883, is buried at the Claremont Street Cemetery, in Dodge
County. All we know of John A. CHAPMAN is that
he was born in New Hampshire around 1816 and died after 1880,
presumably in Dodge County. I believe he might be buried
in the Claremont Street Cemetery but cannot find any
information. 1870 census shows John A., Sarah C. and son, Edward A.
CHAPMAN living in the Township of Claremont, Dodge,
MN. Last know residence was Claremont, Dodge, MN according to the
1880 census. I am particularly interested in his dates of birth and
death, as well as burial info.
Thanks!

I am researching my family heritage. I
have the following information regarding the subject
member:
Peter Hans HANSEN, was born on
8/09/1861 in Hessum Fyn, Denmark. He married Dorthea Christina
SORENSEN born on 6/17/1864 in Jyllend, Denmark.
Their marriage occurred on 6/02/1885 in Rochester, Minnesota.
They had two children Agnes Maren (May) born on 2/16/1886 and Thorval
Johan (Johannes) on 3/27/1892. Both children were born in
Montorville, Dodge, Minnesota.
My interest is in
identifying Peter Hans HANSEN's father and mother. I have
information that suggests his father's name was Hans CHRISTENSEN,
born in Denmark. I have no clue to the name of his mother
or the country in which she was born. This is a big void in my
research. Can you assist me in identifying these two family
members?
Thank you for any assistance you can
give.

Would
appreciate help in learning more about my ggrandparents who moved to
Wasioja and died there. Although his parentage is well documented by
others, I can't find her parents. As they both died in Wasioja
when it appears that only the Wildwood cemetery was established,
would someone mind checking on their possible burial there. George
Gorton BURLINGAME, b 1826 Harford, Cortland Cty., NY, Married
1846 Harford. shortly after marriage they moved to Lake Cty, Wis.,
then to Dodge Cty, Minn. in 1861. He died 4 Sep1872.
Harriet,
his wife, nee BOISE OR BOIES OR BOYCE, born 1827 location unknown,
assume NY. Died 18 July 1863 in Wasioja Twp. Her parents
unknown.

Subject: Henry Sureman
Hi Clarence
I
came across the attached which may or may not be our Henry
Sureman.
Our Henry Sureman was born perhaps in 1863 which
would make him 23 in 1886. Sounds plausible.
Is there a way
to read the back-up to this?

in Dodge County, MN, presumably in 1886. Also noted is that the clerk

I am seeking information about Paul
HENDRICKSON KYLLO of Hayfield, MN in Dodge County. For a reason
unknown to me he is listed in the Dodge County records under
HENDRICKSON KYLLO, but family Bibles etc only use the initial H.
Paul was born in Selbu, Norway on December 28, 1847. He
married his first wife, Ingeborg Hofslien on January 31, 1857. They
produced 13 children and emigrated from Norway in 1887 or 1888.
Ingeborg died in 1876 and Paul remarried to Kari P. Langseth on
July 2, 1902. They produced 4 children. Paul died on June
11, 1934 in Hayfield. He had been a wealthy farmer but lost his
fortune in the crash of 1929 leaving his wife and young children
almost destitute. I would like to know any information about
grandparents Paul's and Kari's lineage in Norway, their emigrations,
his land holdings and any other pertinent information. I would
also like to know the background of the Hendrickson name and if and
how it may be tied to Selbu. Thanks for any help anyone can
provide.

I
am looking for information about Carl C. MATTSON (MATHISON), a
resident of Hayfield, MN in Dodge County. His father was Christ
or Kristian Mathison of Dodge Center, I believe. Carl is
alleged to have changed his sirname to avoid post office errors. My
grandfather Carl was born in Norway on March 26, 1892. I
believe it was in the Trondheim area. I would like to know when
he emigrated, on what ship and to which city. Family folklore
indicates he was 12 years old at the time, but I have no proof. He
did tell stories about entertaining folks on ship by playing the
harmonica. I have not been successful finding him on the Ellis
Island site. Carl married Selecety Iverson on October 14, 1914
in Hayfield. They had three children, David Duaine, Carol and
Vera. One daughter, Vivian, died of whooping cough as a child.
Carl worked for the Chicago Great Western Railway for many
years. He died in Hayfield January 1, 1980. Thanks for
any help anyone can provide especially regarding his family history
in Norway.

I
am trying to find any information on Florence Ethyl Livingston b. 03
Jan 1907 in Minnesota, maybe in St. Paul. She was living in
Wasioja, Minnesota with her grandparents Sherman and Mary Livingston
on the 1910 US census. Her parents were not living there at the time
and I am not sure if they were ever married. Her parents were Guy
Livingston b.1880 in Minnesota and Anna Larson born in Minnisota.
According to family stories Anna died of consumption around
1912-1914. Florence told her family that she remembered her mother
and when she died she was a little girl. Guy married another woman
named Gertie around the time Anna died.
I can not find anything
that connects Florence to Anna Larson, however there is an Anna
Larson buried in Vernon, Dodge, Minnesota in the West St.Olaf
Cemetery. She was born 1882 and died 1912 which would be about
right for what I have for Anna.
Florence was my husband's
grandmother and she pasted away in 1995. I had only her parents names
when I started. I am looking for marriage records for Guy and Anna,
Baptism records for Florence. Anything would help. Thanks for any
help you could give.

FANSLOW
(FANSELOW)(FONSLOW) William (1831-1876)
Census records for 1870, 1875, 1880 have family living in Dodge
County,Ellington Township (Warranty Deed, N.E. quarter, Sec. 2,
Township 108 Range 18; dated 11 Mar 1875 filed 24 July 1875)
Family included:
William Fredrick Fanslow (1831-1876)
Emilie (1821-1894)
Ottilie (1853-1925)
William (1855-1925)
Probate record in court house at Mantorville has William dying May
23, 1876. Probate records began in July of 1876 and continued
through 1877 and beyond.
Apparently young William lived on the property through 1880 and
then he moved to Haycreek Township in Goodhue County. Ottilie
had married Diedrich Rodewald of Faribault and her mother lived with
her there. The property went to Emilie and then to Ottilie and
finally to Ottilie's children. In the probate records Emilie
signed her name as Ernestine.
Emilie and William (senior) are buried in the Rodewald family lot
in Maple Lawn Cemetery in Faribault. William's gravestone says
(1931-1880). I do have a copy of Emilie's obituary from the
Faribault newspaper and I have a copy of her death record from The
Trinity Lutheran Church in Faribault. I am looking for an
obituary and death certificate (record) for William (senior). I
would appreciate receiving your suggestions as to where I could make
inquiries...newspapers, libraries, churches, etc. ???...
Emilie's obituary had her being buried from the German Lutheran
Church; but, apparently, that church no longer exists and the records
from that church were moved to The Trinity Lutheran Church. I'm
hoping that you may be able to suggest a Lutheran Church or
churches that I could contact and/or libraries I could contact to
make inquiries.
Thank you for your help!

Frank 10, Bell 7 and Birdie(later records show Berta)3. The
next census in 1880 has george married to Jane P and that later
becomes Paulina with the same children’s names and Carrie age
2. Carrie’s age indicates Jane and George were possibly
married three years prior or about 1877. What happened to

Marie (Mary) VONRUDEN and Anton HESSE were baptismal sponsors
for my grandmother's brother Joseph Anton FRIED in 1879. He is
the son of Ignatz FRIED and Mary Theresa (HAGER) FRIED. I am
certain that there must be a relationship between the FRIED and
VONRUDEN families, and he might have been named after Joseph
VonRuden.

I'm
looking for confirmation of the marriage of my grandparents, William
T. MUSOLF and Martha NELSON, in Dodge County, Kasson (?), MN on
October 11, 1895. He was born in Germany (Posen, Prussia) and
immigrated around 1880. She was born in Denmark and immigrated
with her parents and 4 siblings around 1886. William and Martha
later moved to Pequot Lakes, MN and had 13 children, 9 of whom
survived to
adulthood and 2 of which are still living.
RootWeb indicates that
my grandparents were married in Foldby Denmark, but this cannot be
true. I can't imagine that they had the money to go back to
Denmark to get married where Martha was born. And why would
they? Their parents lived in Dodge County also. If anyone
has a way of checking for a marriage certificate from 1895, I would
be very grateful. Thank you.

I am trying to make a connection between
Johanna Duett (born in Limerick Ireland) and William Duett (Dewitt).
I think they may be siblings. Any information is greatly

I am searching for a plat map of Vernon
Tsp, Dodge County for 1880-1884
with the property of AKThoe
in section 34. I am trying to determine who he sold his farm to when
he left for SD after 1880. Does anyone have one they could copy
and send me? Where can I find a copy of a plat map for these
years? I have the 1876 plat map but would like a later one.
Thanks for any help or information. Kathy

I
am trying to find the info on the parents of George Charles HIGGINS.
George was born Aug 23, 1888 in Dodge County, MN. I have names of
John Higgins (born in New York) and a Johanna Powers (born in Dublin,
Ireland) on his death certificate, however, I cannot find any other
information on them. What I can gather is, at best, Johanna Powers
was the second marriage for John Higgins. However, I have no birth or
death date for John Higgins (nor a middle name) and I may have a
death date for Johanna Higgins. Any help with this would be
great!
George Higgins was married to Sina Jacobson born in Red
Wing, MN and had 5 kids: Robert Gordon Higgins, Lois Marion

I
am looking for my son's 3rd great grandparents. I
have followed him through the 1860 Census New York and 1885
Census to Wasioja, Dodge County, Minnesota. I can't seem to
find a death date on either Charles Duncan and his wife Mary Caroline
(Stoddard) Duncan. I would really like pictures of the
tombstones if found. I have found nothing in the 1890 or 1900 Census
in Wasioja, Minnesota. I believe they had pass away somewhere
between the Census of 1885-1890?

I'm
looking for information on the family of Olav 'Ole' Hansson
Folkestad. Olav and 3 of his children, Lars, Kjersti and Halvor
came to Kasson, Dodge Cty in September 1894. I've had luck
tracking the three children but can find no record of Ole. He
must have died before the MN death records on-line began. So
between 1894 and 1904. Do you have any of those records, or
where can I find them? Olav was born 13 July 1843 in Bø,
Telemark, Norway. He played the Hardanger fiddle. Is
there any history of him in Kasson?
Please advise how to find him. Thanks
for your help! Roberta Schlee NicolaBirdy@aol.com

I'm
trying to locate information on the Ernest ENGLEKING family with the
hope of determining his wife Katharina's parentage. I think she may
have been a sister of my Ignatz FRIED, who is found on the 1895
Minnesota State Census one page away from Katharina's family. It
appears that Ernest may have had a previous wife, as there are
teenage children in their household in the 1880 census when
Katharina is only 29 years old. By 1895, she has a whole new set of
children, the first four with names identical to Ignatz' children.
Most helpful would be an obituary. It might list her family beyond
the children. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for information on John A. CHAPMAN.
His wife, Sarah C. (Lathrop) CHAPMAN
1817-1883, is buried at the Claremont Street Cemetery, in Dodge
County. All we know of John A. CHAPMAN is that
he was born in New Hampshire around 1816 and died after 1880,
presumably in Dodge County. I believe he might be buried
in the Claremont Street Cemetery but cannot find any
information. 1870 census shows John A., Sarah C. and son, Edward A.
CHAPMAN living in the Township of Claremont, Dodge,
MN. Last know residence was Claremont, Dodge, MN according to the
1880 census. I am particularly interested in his dates of birth and
death, as well as burial info.
Thanks!

I am researching my family heritage. I
have the following information regarding the subject
member:
Peter Hans HANSEN, was born on
8/09/1861 in Hessum Fyn, Denmark. He married Dorthea Christina
SORENSEN born on 6/17/1864 in Jyllend, Denmark.
Their marriage occurred on 6/02/1885 in Rochester, Minnesota.
They had two children Agnes Maren (May) born on 2/16/1886 and Thorval
Johan (Johannes) on 3/27/1892. Both children were born in
Montorville, Dodge, Minnesota.
My interest is in
identifying Peter Hans HANSEN's father and mother. I have
information that suggests his father's name was Hans CHRISTENSEN,
born in Denmark. I have no clue to the name of his mother
or the country in which she was born. This is a big void in my
research. Can you assist me in identifying these two family
members?
Thank you for any assistance you can
give.

others, I can't find her parents. As they both died in Wasioja

then to Dodge Cty, Minn. in 1861. He died 4 Sep1872.

Subject: Henry Sureman
Hi Clarence
I
came across the attached which may or may not be our Henry
Sureman.
Our Henry Sureman was born perhaps in 1863 which
would make him 23 in 1886. Sounds plausible.
Is there a way

I am seeking information about Paul
HENDRICKSON KYLLO of Hayfield, MN in Dodge County. For a reason
unknown to me he is listed in the Dodge County records under
HENDRICKSON KYLLO, but family Bibles etc only use the initial H.
Paul was born in Selbu, Norway on December 28, 1847. He
married his first wife, Ingeborg Hofslien on January 31, 1857. They
produced 13 children and emigrated from Norway in 1887 or 1888.
Ingeborg died in 1876 and Paul remarried to Kari P. Langseth on
July 2, 1902. They produced 4 children. Paul died on June
11, 1934 in Hayfield. He had been a wealthy farmer but lost his
fortune in the crash of 1929 leaving his wife and young children
almost destitute. I would like to know any information about
grandparents Paul's and Kari's lineage in Norway, their emigrations,
his land holdings and any other pertinent information. I would
also like to know the background of the Hendrickson name and if and
how it may be tied to Selbu. Thanks for any help anyone can
provide.

I
am looking for information about Carl C. MATTSON (MATHISON), a
resident of Hayfield, MN in Dodge County. His father was Christ
or Kristian Mathison of Dodge Center, I believe. Carl is
alleged to have changed his sirname to avoid post office errors. My
grandfather Carl was born in Norway on March 26, 1892. I
believe it was in the Trondheim area. I would like to know when
he emigrated, on what ship and to which city. Family folklore
indicates he was 12 years old at the time, but I have no proof. He
did tell stories about entertaining folks on ship by playing the
harmonica. I have not been successful finding him on the Ellis
Island site. Carl married Selecety Iverson on October 14, 1914
in Hayfield. They had three children, David Duaine, Carol and
Vera. One daughter, Vivian, died of whooping cough as a child.
Carl worked for the Chicago Great Western Railway for many
years. He died in Hayfield January 1, 1980. Thanks for
any help anyone can provide especially regarding his family history
in Norway.

I
am trying to find any information on Florence Ethyl Livingston b. 03
Jan 1907 in Minnesota, maybe in St. Paul. She was living in
Wasioja, Minnesota with her grandparents Sherman and Mary Livingston
on the 1910 US census. Her parents were not living there at the time
and I am not sure if they were ever married. Her parents were Guy
Livingston b.1880 in Minnesota and Anna Larson born in Minnisota.
According to family stories Anna died of consumption around
1912-1914. Florence told her family that she remembered her mother
and when she died she was a little girl. Guy married another woman
named Gertie around the time Anna died.
I can not find anything
that connects Florence to Anna Larson, however there is an Anna
Larson buried in Vernon, Dodge, Minnesota in the West St.Olaf
Cemetery. She was born 1882 and died 1912 which would be about
right for what I have for Anna.
Florence was my husband's
grandmother and she pasted away in 1995. I had only her parents names
when I started. I am looking for marriage records for Guy and Anna,
Baptism records for Florence. Anything would help. Thanks for any
help you could give.

FANSLOW
(FANSELOW)(FONSLOW) William (1831-1876)
Census records for 1870, 1875, 1880 have family living in Dodge County,Ellington Township (Warranty Deed, N.E. quarter, Sec. 2, Township 108 Range 18; dated 11 Mar 1875 filed 24 July 1875)
Family included:
William Fredrick Fanslow (1831-1876)
Emilie (1821-1894)
Ottilie (1853-1925)
William (1855-1925)
Probate record in court house at Mantorville has William dying May 23, 1876. Probate records began in July of 1876 and continued through 1877 and beyond.
Apparently young William lived on the property through 1880 and then he moved to Haycreek Township in Goodhue County. Ottilie had married Diedrich Rodewald of Faribault and her mother lived with her there. The property went to Emilie and then to Ottilie and finally to Ottilie's children. In the probate records Emilie signed her name as Ernestine.
Emilie and William (senior) are buried in the Rodewald family lot in Maple Lawn Cemetery in Faribault. William's gravestone says (1931-1880). I do have a copy of Emilie's obituary from the Faribault newspaper and I have a copy of her death record from The Trinity Lutheran Church in Faribault. I am looking for an obituary and death certificate (record) for William (senior). I would appreciate receiving your suggestions as to where I could make inquiries...newspapers, libraries, churches, etc. ???...
Emilie's obituary had her being buried from the German Lutheran Church; but, apparently, that church no longer exists and the records from that church were moved to The Trinity Lutheran Church. I'm hoping that you may be able to suggest a Lutheran Church or churches that I could contact and/or libraries I could contact to make inquiries.

I
am looking for the marriage date of JOHN G. HANSEN (sometimes
spelled Hanson)
Son of Jacob and Anna Lene Hansen -- immigrants from Denmark in 1869
John was born 1856 in Denmark and HANNAH NELSON (sometimes Johanna Nelson), daughter of Frederik (Fred) and Mary Nelson--immigrants from Denmark in Hannah was born 1866 in Denmark 1867. They were married about 1883 in Minnesota, I believe. Their families are in the census reports in Dodge county, Minnesota.
Their children's names were:
Adolph
Fred
Joseph
Beatrice
Hyacinth
They were active in the Baptist church in Kasson, I understand.
Where would I inquire to find that information?
Is it possible to get in touch with the Baptist church in Kasson and get information from their records?
Thank you for your help.

I am looking for a death record for jennie BALLARD, last known address from 1875 census was with husband george w BALLARD living in Dodge Center. Age at that time was 28, children were Byron 12, Frank 10, Bell 7 and Birdie(later records show Berta)3. The next census in 1880 has george married to Jane P and that later becomes Paulina with the same children’s names and Carrie age 2. Carrie’s age indicates Jane and George were possibly married three years prior or about 1877. What happened to Jennie?
Jennie was born about 1847 in Wisconsin.

I'm
looking for descendents of the Von Ruden (Von Rueden) family,
landowners in Dodge and Steele counties in the 1870s. Would like to
compare notes regarding this surname.
Marie (Mary) VONRUDEN and Anton HESSE were baptismal sponsors for my grandmother's brother Joseph Anton FRIED in 1879. He is the son of Ignatz FRIED and Mary Theresa (HAGER) FRIED. I am certain that there must be a relationship between the FRIED and VONRUDEN families, and he might have been named after Joseph VonRuden.
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has researched this family. Thanks, Judy Olson jolson@rea-alp.com

I'm
looking for confirmation of the marriage of my grandparents, William
T. MUSOLF and Martha NELSON, in Dodge County, Kasson (?), MN on
October 11, 1895. He was born in Germany (Posen, Prussia) and
immigrated around 1880. She was born in Denmark and immigrated
with her parents and 4 siblings around 1886. William and Martha
later moved to Pequot Lakes, MN and had 13 children, 9 of whom
survived to
adulthood and 2 of which are still living. RootWeb indicates that
my grandparents were married in Foldby Denmark, but this cannot be true. I can't imagine that they had the money to go back to Denmark to get married where Martha was born. And why would they? Their parents lived in Dodge County also. If anyone has a way of checking for a marriage certificate from 1895, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Does anyone have one they could copy and send me? Where can I find a copy of a plat map for these years? I have the 1876 plat map but would like a later one. Thanks for any help or information.

I
am trying to find the info on the parents of George Charles HIGGINS.
George was born Aug 23, 1888 in Dodge County, MN. I have names of
John Higgins (born in New York) and a Johanna Powers (born in Dublin,
Ireland) on his death certificate, however, I cannot find any other
information on them. What I can gather is, at best, Johanna Powers
was the second marriage for John Higgins. However, I have no birth or
death date for John Higgins (nor a middle name) and I may have a
death date for Johanna Higgins. Any help with this would be
great!
George Higgins was married to Sina Jacobson born in Red
Wing, MN and had 5 kids: Robert Gordon Higgins, Lois Marion

I
am looking for my son's 3rd great grandparents. I
have followed him through the 1860 Census New York and 1885
Census to Wasioja, Dodge County, Minnesota. I can't seem to
find a death date on either Charles Duncan and his wife Mary Caroline
(Stoddard) Duncan. I would really like pictures of the
tombstones if found. I have found nothing in the 1890 or 1900 Census
in Wasioja, Minnesota. I believe they had pass away somewhere
between the Census of 1885-1890?
Thank you for your time, Debbie Duncan debbie5124@mail2world.com

I'm
looking for information on the family of Olav 'Ole' Hansson
Folkestad. Olav and 3 of his children, Lars, Kjersti and Halvor
came to Kasson, Dodge Cty in September 1894. I've had luck
tracking the three children but can find no record of Ole. He
must have died before the MN death records on-line began. So
between 1894 and 1904. Do you have any of those records, or
where can I find them? Olav was born 13 July 1843 in Bø,
Telemark, Norway. He played the Hardanger fiddle. Is
there any history of him in Kasson?
Please advise how to find him. Thanks for your help! Roberta Schlee NicolaBirdy@aol.com

I'm
trying to locate information on the Ernest ENGLEKING family with the
hope of determining his wife Katharina's parentage. I think she may
have been a sister of my Ignatz FRIED, who is found on the 1895
Minnesota State Census one page away from Katharina's family. It
appears that Ernest may have had a previous wife, as there are
teenage children in their household in the 1880 census when
Katharina is only 29 years old. By 1895, she has a whole new set of
children, the first four with names identical to Ignatz' children.
Most helpful would be an obituary. It might list her family beyond
the children. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
