STRUKEL
Searching for information on Frank STRUKEL believed to be buried in the
Eveleth Cemetery widowed his wife Helen ZAKRAJSEK who bore them 2 sons Frank b 2 Jul 1910 in Eveleth, Edward born 2 Jan 1914, family migrated
to Pennsylvania as children and when Helen remarried (probably in Eveleth) took their stepfathers name
BERSICH (phonetic, maybe BEVCICH?). At some point they took the name
STRUKY believing it to be proximate to their birth fathers name. They grew up in Pennsylvania and
their ancestors are still there.
Both are likely immigrants from Carniola (Krain), Austria (present day Slovenia). A Helene Zakrajsek 18 yoa, single immigrated 13 Jan 1904
from Laibach (Lubijana) to NY destined for a Eveleth and brother in law(?) Franz STRUKEL, Box 366 likely the same Helen ZAKRAJSEK but no
corroboration.
Seeking identifiers for Frank & Helen and their ancestors to compare with Sv. Trojica nad Cerknico Parish records for my maternal great
grandparents.
I am an expatriate "Ranger" (Mountain Iron) living in NW Nevada.

immigration.

- ROSENTHAL - EDER
- I am looking for any information on my maternal grandmother Ruth Olga Rosenthal (maiden name Eder). She was born in 1912. (October I think) I am told she had a radio program on a Duluth radio station sometime during the period of 1936-1948. She played the piano and apparently had a beautiful singing voice. She was married to Lawrence John Rosenthal in 1936. He played professional baseball on several teams including the N.Y. Yankees, Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia A's during the time period of 1936-1945 or so. Ruth often held "socials" for the wives of the ball players. She died at the age of 36 in August/September of 1948. Do you have any newspaper articles or photographs of Ruth or Larry? (Bud or Rose were nicknames of Larry's) Do you know of any "tapes" of the radio programs? Is there an historical archive at any of the radio stations in Duluth, MN? I am hoping to get copies of any audio material as my mother (Janice Ruth Rosenthal Miller) was only 8 years old when her mother Ruth died. I would like to give my mother a wonderful and unique gift of remembering her mother. Thank you in advance for your assistance in my search.

ISAACSON - Buhl, Minnesota
I am looking for the cousins of my mother that lived in Buhl, Minnesota. Is there any possibility to find these people by the name and address of their parents? The uncle of my mother, Victor Isaacson, lived in Buhl and his last known address is P.O. Box 583 (this information came from my grandmother and she died in 1961). He was born September 1, 1892 and died February 17, 1971.
He was married to Mary and they had three children, Bob, Ruth and Helaine.
I do not know anything about them but they are probably born in 1925 or later.
