I am doing some family research and would like to know if anyone has some information on the following individuals. Harold Arnold CHRISTENSEN was born in the St. Paul area between 1894 and 1900. His mother's name was Christine PETERSEN or PETERSON, and his father's name was Emilius CHRISTENSEN. Emilius is the latinized version of his first name and I am not sure what his "true" name is. I know that Emilius and Christine had at least another son named Walter CHRISTENSEN. Harold CHRISTENSEN married Gertrude Marie GROSSMAN in June 1923, and they were divorced several years later. Harold was a car salesman, and he and Gertrude lived on Aurora Avenue in St. Paul in the early 1920's. After he and Gertrude divorced, he lived in Virginia for awhile before returning to St. Paul and remarrying. Harold CHRISTENSEN is my grandfather and Walter CHRISTENSEN is my great-uncle. Any information would be appreciated.

Norm Dahl
 Seeking information and possible descendants of Olaf A. Dahl (b abt 1905 near Harvey, ND) and wife Dorthea . From land abstracts involving the sale of the family farm in North Dakota, I found that Olaf and Dorthea lived in Ramsey Co., MN, at the time of the sale in 1943 and probably thereafter. Olaf's father (John Martin Dahl, b Norway abt 1845, d 1909) died when Olaf was a child and his mother (Hanna) had a nervous breakdown a couple years later. This left Olaf & his brother (Carl) essentially orphans - Olaf was about 6 --who were reared by neighbors who I suspect were relatives of their mother, Hanna. Olaf was my father's cousin, but because of the circumstances this is a somewhat "lost branch" of the family. Have found that Olaf's brother, Carl, lived and passed away in Redding, CA but I'm pretty sure Olaf stayed in Minnesota. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Fred kept the original spelling of their last name which was Hohmeister, but William dropped the second H, spelling it Homeister. I'm not exactly sure where he settled, possibly in Winona, MN. I am sure he married and had children, but nothing is known about him. I would like to make contact with any of his children, grandchildren or someone who could give me more information on Fred Hohmeister. I have done searches on online phonebooks for the last name and came up with a few people with the same last name in St Paul and Wabasha. Could these be of relation?

Arthur Peltier (b. Jul 1876 in NY) was the son of Frank and Henrietta (de Maille) Peltier, and brother of my husband's grandfather, Joseph E. Peltier. Arthur was raised in Dunseith, ND, and married Aurore Casavant. They later moved to St. Paul, MN, and our branch of the family lost track of them. I would like to contact some of their descendants, to fill in the information on their branch, and also to share the family history. Arthur and Aurore's children were: Millie Peltier m. Forrest Brandt; Aurore Peltier; Arthur Peltier; Percy Peltier; Theodore Peltier; Marie Peltier; Evelyn Peltier. It's possible some of the family may have changed the spelling of the surname back to the original Pelletier.

June 14, 1997 Linda A. Magley
I have a Ramsey Co. marriage I cannot find. This is for Hulda Teolina Soderstrom b. July 1, 1889 in Moliden, Vasternorrland, Sweden. Church records in Sweden state she emigrated to IL 7 Nov 1912. They have no marriage record for her there. She married Gust Norman who was from a neighboring parish of Sjalevad in Sweden.

Gust was born 27 Dec 1887 in Billsta, Sjalevad, Sweden. In both of their obits it states they were married in St. Paul, MN - Nov 5, 1915. However, I have found no County records to support this. They lived their entire married life in Moline, IL. I know of no other relatives who were in St. Paul during this time. Hulda did have a sister Erika Ottilia (b.4 Apr 1885) also called Tillie, who in the Swedish church record said emigrated to Minnesota 5 Sep 1907. Ottilia married a Jonas Edstrom and was widowed and living in Seattle by 1920 census. Thank you!

Crary-Lounsberry-Cooper-Fairbanks-Betcher Dr. George Holmes Crary (1838-1903), son of John Wesley Crary and Mindwell Permelia Holmes. His first wife was: Kate (Catharine) Cooper (1840-1874), daughter of Ezra Cooper and Maria Johnson. Second wife, Mary Betcher. Lillian Crary (1869-1961) married Wells Lounsberry (1870-1917). Georgiana Crary married George Henry Bryant. Maria Johnson was the daughter of Malinda (Fairbanks) and Daniel D. Johnson (from Champlain, NY). Dr. George Holmes Crary was a practicing dentist, along with his brother, William, in Red Wing.

The children of John and Fanny (Kelton) Fairbanks (of Champlain, Clinton, NY); Ezra and Maria (Johnson) Cooper (of Coopersville/Champlain, Clinton, NY) and their children; John Wesley and Malinda (Holmes) Crary and their children, all lived between St. Paul, Ramsey, MN and Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN. They lived in both places at different times. My great-grandfather, Dr. George C. Crary was a traveling dentist (until about 1875) and lived in Minneapolis and perhaps St. Paul. Ezra and Maria Cooper both lived died in St. Paul. All of these people (with the exception of John W. and Mindwell Holmes) are buried at the Oakland Cemetery in St. Paul. I am especially interested in finding descendants of Ezra and Maria Cooper. I have left unaccounted, four out of their nine children. Many of the Fairbanks families stem from John and Fanny Fairbanks from NY. All of these people are my ancestors.
