I am looking for a family that lived in Devils Lake in the early
years of 1900. My great grandparents are JAMES A. MILLER born about
1871 in Canada and ISABELLE CHAPIN MILLER born about 1879 in Michigan.
James operated a laundry in the town of Devils Lake. I believe all
their children were born while living in Devils Lake. REGINALD MILLER
(my grandfather) was born 24 Oct 1906; BONNIE MILLER was born ca 1907;
ERNEST F. MILLER ca 1911; and HOWARD J. MILLER ca 1917. REGGIE ran
a drycleaning business also. REGINALD MILLER married CECILIA BAKER
on 29 June 1929 at Devils Lake. CECILIA BAKER MILLER died in 1936
and REGGIE remarried to OLIVE ANDERSON in 1938 and moved to California.
REGGIE MILLER was a member of the Devils Lake Fire Dept., Elks, Odd Fellows,
and Devils Lake Governor's Band. I would like to know if there are
any records from these organizations that may help me in my quest for genealogical
information on the family. I would also like to make contact with
any decendants of the MILLERS and BAKERS.

I am looking for more information on my grandmother and her family,
Anna ANDERSON, daughter of
AXEL T. ANDERSON. I have some early letters written by my
grandfather, PETER SETNES, dated
1918 and from the Edmore Harness Shop. I know he arrived in
this country in 1909 and I believe
settled in Edmore in 1917. I have been able to find much on
my grandfather but have no luck on
my grandmother. At one time (when I was much younger) there
was an annual family reunion (AXEL
T. ANDERSON) in Grand Forks or somewhere in the area. My grandmother
was one of 12 children.
I do not know where she was born and I am not sure if Edmore is
where they met and married.
Axel Anderson and ROZINA CARLSON were married in Sweden in 1875.
The three oldest children
were born in Sweden, the rest in the US. AXEL passed away
in 1939 and ROZINA in 1925. Other
ANDERSON names (siblings I assume of my grandmother) are CARL, JENNIE,
HENRY, EMILY, OTTO,
WALTER, RAGNA, GUNDA, EMILY, and HILDA.
