period would be very much appreciated. I am stumped, and cannot find

military service record of my great-uncle.

I am looking
for information about John ANDERSON and Karin BERGLUND who, according to
my information, were married in Revillo, South Dakota (in Grant County)
on May 2, 1891. I would like a copy, if possible, of their marriage
certificate.
Also, my Mother, Ruth Sigfrid ANDERSON, received what looks to be a
certificate of confirmation, membership, or baptism (something like that)
when she was about 16 years old. It's from the "Svenska Krisna Missions
Kyrkan den 14th Juli i town of Vernon 1912", which I believe is the
Swedish Missions Friends Church. It was signed by Carl C. BORGLIN,
Ortonville, Minn. I believe it was the Township of Vernon in Grants
County. The family owned a farm in Yellow Bank Township in Minnesota
near Ortonville. I would like confirmation of the existence of this
church in Grant County and whether or not it still exists.
Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
