He was the son of John ANDERSON and Frances DOYLE who were immigrants that met on the passage from Ireland. I found the grave of John H ANDERSON 1867-1929 in Calvery Cem. Madelia. There is only the year he died, so could not find an obit. I am not even sure if he died in Madelia and know almost nothing about his life. An obit would be very helpful. He may have lived on the family farm in Blue Earth Cty that was owned by his sister Mary (ANDERSON) NOONAN. Jennie Hoagland 21 Sep 1999

I know that Jacob BAKKE immigrated from Norway, but I don't know from where or when or what the family name was in Norway. Would like to find out!

BARNES/BROWN/VOGE/WAAGE
I am searching for information regarding my grandparents and great grandparents, all of whom lived in the Madelia area. Great grandparents: Bernt VOGE and Ingrid BARNES. Grandparents: Herman Thomas BROWN and Serena VOGE BROWN. My grandmother was born in Madelia in June 1889. I know my grandparents were still in the area through 1922 because my aunt, Arlone LaVone Brown also born in Madelia, Minnesota. There are six daughters and one brother that should have the maiden name of Voge. My grandmother has Woge on her death certificate. I called a cemetary caretaker in Madelia seeking the name Voge. He wrote back indicating the names of my great grandparents buried in Madelia were under the name of Waage. mike4406 28 Sep/22 Oct 1998

COHOON/CAHOON/WILLEY
Someone recently emailed me regarding a lookup in the "Memorial Record of Faribault, Martin, Watonwan and Jackson Counties, Minnesota." Later that day, my computer crashed, and I lost all unanswered emails. The subjects of the lookup request were COHOON/CAHOON and WILLEY, as I recall. Since I don’t have the requester’s name/address, I will post the findings here in hopes that the person still gets an answer. The findings were very meager unfortunately. No CAHOON/COHOON is mentioned in the book. And only one WILLEY. The entry is within a bio sketch on Perrin M. Marston, and says, "Perrin M. Marston was born in the province of Quebec, Canada, June 30, 1855, the youngest son of the seven children of Samuel and Sarah (WILLEY) Marston." (page 545). I’m sorry I was not able to help.

HAUGEN
I am searching for possible descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Tollef K. Haugen who in 1894 moved from Albert Lea to St. James. They were both born around 1860. Mrs. Haugen's first name was Dorothea or just Thea, sometimes mentioned as Dorothy, and her maiden name was Christopherson. She was born in Toten, Norway, but came as an infant with her parents to Minnesota. The Christophersons resided in Newry Township, Freeborn Co., Minnesota. To my knowledge, Mr. Haugen worked as a banker in St. James. T. K. Haugen siblings were in a different part of Minnesota (Freeborn Co.) -- their names were Anders, Ole, Thomas, Johan, Ida. I am related to Dorothea, not to Tollef. If Tollef and Dorothea stuck with Norwegian name traditions and named their children after the grandparents, then you could look for Knut Haugen, Christian Haugen, Karen Haugen, maybe Louis or Lewis Haugen -- all would have to be born after 1880.

I have recently found out that my great-great-grandmother, Augusta Friedericke (nee RAGGLIN) KUEGENMEISTER died in Long Lake Township, Minnesota.
