Lea William WRIGHT and Pearl Alma HAUNTZ were married April 7, 1916 in Jamestown, Stutsman County. They had two children while living in Stutsman County Robert William born March 19, 1917 and Francis Lea born May 21, 1920. Looking for 1920 and 1930 census. Lea William WRIGHT was in the military. Any military records available between 1910-1930? I also believe they had a ranch in Stutsman County, any land records available between 1910-1920? They left Stutsman County after 1920 to California, I believe. Any help out there? Thanks to all of you.

I am helping a friend, Trishann (Weiss) Zdroik, search for her birth family. She was born July 26, 1966 in Jamestown, NorthDakota, and her adoption was handled through Lutheran Social Services in Fargo and finalized in Wisconsin. Her birth mother was about 16 and her birth father was about 21 at the time, and one or both may have been of Norweigan descent. Trish believes that her given name at birth may have been Tanya or Tonja. Her adoptive parents are Herbert and Charlene Weiss of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. One of Trish's two sons was born with a rare genetic disorder, "situs inversus-cilia disconesia," and she and her husband need 'to learn more about her medical history. ; They would be grateful for ANY tips about maternity homes which existed in or near Jamestown in the 1960's, how to access local hospital and court records, etc. You can reach her through my e-mail (halltuck@coredcs.com) or contact her directly: Trishann (Weiss) Zdroik, 10144 State Road 66, Rosholt, Wisconsin 54473 715-677-4039 Thank you, Sarah Hall halltuck@coredcs.com

I seek info on Severt Benjamin DAHLE (1891-1951) & family. He operated a restaurant in Courtenay, ND for several years. Severt was born in Hayfield, Dodge Co., MN to parents Lars W. & Inga Dahle (emigrants from Vik, Sogn, Norway), and during the period 1928-1944 he resided in St.Paul, MN. Consequently, he ran his restaurant and resided in Courtenay prior to 1928 and/or after 1944 until his death in 1951. Severt was buried in the Evanger Church/Cemetery, Sargeant, Mower Co., MN where he had been baptized/confirmed.. It is conceivable that his OBITUARY appeared in a local newspaper in/near Courtenay, ND in addition to the one that appeared in Hayfield Herald. His DOD was August 5th 1951 (in Courtenay, ND?). Severt B. DAHLE married Emma CLIFTON of Maddock, ND and they had one son Sherman Ardean DAHLE who survived his father. In 1951 he was an instructor at a business college at Honolulu, HI.

According to family obituaries, Isabel(le) & Paul EDDY resided in Jamestown, ND in 1954 when her brother, Emery A.

Helen Hitchcock Wed 14 Jul 2004

Researching Bridget (Brigid) Walsh (Welsh, Welch) who emigrated from Ireland in about 1866 when she was 16. Her obituary says she was from County Cork. She married Patrick Hayes when she got to this county, so the story goes. They were burned out of Chicago in the Great Fire, moved to Madison, WI where Patrick, a skilled carpenter, worked on the new capitol building, and then on to Medina, where Patrick was the station master for the NPRR. Patrick died in 1882 or 1883 in a snow plow accident and his widow with 6 surviving children opened her house as a boarding house for railroad workers. My great grandfather, Anthony James Hill from England, stayed at her home while he worked on the railroad and stayed to marry her and father her children; and to add my grandfather, Frederick James Hill in 1887. Bridget died in 1915, the first funeral in the new Catholic Church and A.J. died in 1917. They are buried in Jamestown Cemetery. Any connections? Thanks so much.

Edith KOWELSKI (various spellings – OR incorrectly spelled LOWELSKI, COWELSKI, GOWELSKI, KOLOSKI) was sent to ST. JOHNS ACADEMY, Jamestown, about July 1905 by Foster County commissioners when she was about 10. Her parents were gone and siblings dispersed. She remained at the Academy until about 1910 when she became ill and was sent to Minneapolis where she died in 1911. Were the Academy students who boarded at the CONVENT listed in the 1910 CENSUS? I could not find more than a few names associated with the school. Would there be YEARBOOKS with her photo or information? I would appreciate any information sent to my new email address. P. Kay Hodge, gofar@fairpoint.net.

I am looking for my Grandfather's DUNLOP cousins. They lived in Stutsman County and then branched out. He used to visit them in the Jamestown area. I remember him saying they went to their farm. I think one of his Dunlop cousins was in the war? Cecil or John? The branch was from Ayrshire, Scotland. Bowman Gibson Dunlop (b. 1861 Dreghorn, Scotland) came over and married Grace Pendray (about 1894) and they had Tom (b. 1895), Jean, Clarence, Millicent, John (B. about 1901), Mary, Nellie (b. 1907), Hugh. I remember Dad talking about Grandpa's cousin Nellie? Some of Bowman's children and his siblings went to Washington, Minnesota and Maryland. Others went south. Last contact was a funeral for one of them in Stutsman County at a Highland Cemetary? Any leads are great. I am just filling in holes.

On Dec. 18, 1926 an abandoned baby girl was found at Trinity Hospital in Stutsman County, North Dakota. The baby was judged to be about two weeks old. The baby was named "Betty Lou" by the hospital staff and cared for until she was officially adopted on Aug. 27, 1927 by William and Margaret McCauley. Anyone who knows anything about this abandoned baby is asked to please respond. Thanks. Jan Darbhamulla Sivapd@aol.com

I'm looking for information about my biological grandfather, his name is Lincoln Frederick, His dad's name is Jack Frederick and his brothers name is Franklin Frederick. My understanding is Jack Frederick made residence in Jamestown, ND. His son Lincoln Frederick married my grandmother Clementine Robinson and fathered my dad John Louis Robinson. Clementine and Lincoln divorced. No one in my family knows much. We know he was once a barber in Oregon or Washington after the divorce and may have married a woman by the name of Florance Erickson. Can you provide any information. We believe he has passed away. Thank you in advance for any help you may provide. ?
