I am looking for any information regarding the Rev. Theodore Anton KUPKA. Apparently he lived in the village of Geneseo, Sargent county, North Dakota. He was a Catholic priest. According to his death certificate he died in Minnesota, city of Breckenridge, Wilkin county. He was born in Germany on 30 Nov 1883 and died on 02 Feb 1951. He is my dad's uncle -- my grandmother's brother.

I'm looking for information on Winifred HOGAN. She died on Oct 1, 1970 in Wilkin County. Her obituary appeared in the Valley Alert paper on October 7, 1970. I'm curious if her parents names are in the obituary.
I think she's part of my HARRINGTON family and her parents names would help.
Thank you

My great-great grandparents were Dennis COLLINS and Elizabeth (WINN) COLLINS. They were early settlers of the region, coming with three (Cornelius, Maggie and Ann) of their five children in 1879. Maggie married George W. MACE and Ann(a) married Edward C. DOWNEY. I am trying to find out when Dennis and Elizabeth died and where they are buried.
I would be willing to share any information I have on these families including the two children that remained in Mower County, MN (Robert C. and Elizabeth).

N.D. Any further info on MORBECKS, SAVELKOULS, SWEEPs, etc. welcome.

I am researching my mother's family particularly her father's family. Her maiden name is WANEK and she was born and raised in Breckenridge, MN. Her father, Arthur WANEK, was also born and raised in Breckenridge. My grandfather, Arthur's, parents were Joseph and Agnes WANEK. Joseph was born in Wisconsin and Agnes in Minnesota. That's as far back as I can go. I do know that the parents of both Joseph and Agnes were all from Bohemia. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks, Stacy (Iszler) Trentham
