Border People: Bohemisch (German-Bohemian) In America (32 pp)
by Ken Meter and Robert Paulson Paula Goblirsch

"The German-Bohemians: The Quiet Immigrants"
(246 pages with illustrations) by La Vern Rippley and Robert Paulson Paula Goblirsch

"The Days of '69: Reminisces of the Early Pioneers Who Settled on the Virgin Praries of What is now the Progressive Farming Community of Springfield, Minn." - printed by the city of Springfield in 1930, has bios on early families. Bonney Bielen

I have a copy of: HISTORY OF THE MINNESOTA VALLEY by Rev Edward D Neill and HISTORY OF THE SIOUX MASSACRE by Charles S Bryant (in one volume) and would be happy to look up names in it for anyone interested. Br Conrad Irrgang, St Joseph's Abbey, 167 North Spencer Rd, Spencer, MA 01562-1233

Myself I am a Norwegian historian. I have written the "Bygdebok for Lesja" and are working on a similar book for Lom, both parishes in North Gudbrandsdalen with heavy emigration to the US. A major settlement both for Lesja and Lom grew up in the Lake Hanska-Linden area of Brown county in the late 19th century. Anyone with roots in these two Norwegian parishes might ask me for help, by e-mail to ak@hivolda.no. In particular I myself am reseaching the BROSTE family of Lake Hanska/Hanska. Yours, Arnfinn Kjelland, Associate Professor, Volda College, Norway Arnfinn Kjelland

I have recently obtained the "Brown County (New Ulm), Minnesota Pioneers and Their Families" publication by Dr. L. A. Fritsche. I would be happy to do lookups for anyone. Gretchen Beck
