SVABO - HETLER

Karen Fri Jun 8 13:54:19 2001
I'm looking for Julie Petrine SVABO's (JULIE HETLER's?) descendants. Julie was born in Nesna, Norway, 1 October 1903, daughter of Karen Marta Johansdatter SMALSVIK and Ole Andreas Bang JENSEN. Her father, Ole Andreas, died in 1908.

In 1914 Julie emigrated to Esmond, ND, with her mother Karen Marta, her stepfather John Jørgen Johansen SVABO, her sister Jenny Amanda, born in 1898, and another girl called Julianne. (I don't know if Julianne is Julie's sister).

On the "SSDI" I did find one Julie, born 1 October 1903, and died July 1980. Last known residence Esmond, ND. Her surname was HETLER. Could Julie SVABO and Julie HETLER be the same person?

Could anybody, please, give me some information. You can either contact me (Karen) , e-mailaddress karenhbr@online.no or Lars-Gabriel, e-mailaddress la-gabri@online.no

GRAHAM

Lucy Tyler Tue Aug 21 09:41:57 2001
I would like to find information on William GRAHAM for whom I have the info which follows, and particularly his wife, Alice, who died in Minnewaukan January 11, 1905. According to one history of the area which I have, William was the first person in the township, (I believe it was Antelope at that time), to put up a living structure. His son, Herbert, remained in Minnewaukan for many years as well as Herbert's sister, Florence, married to Richard COOK. Would like to find Alice's death certificate, or anything else. Thanks for anything.

Homstead Certificate No1981, Application 3098 from the Register of the Land Office at Devils Lake, North Dakota,"the claim of William GRAHAM has been established & duly consummated in conformity to the law of the" North West quater of section 11 in Township 151 North of Range 68 West of the 5th Principal Meridian in North Dakota-containing 160 acres.

BABLER

Gary Babler Fri Aug 31 06:53:59 2001
I'm lead to believe that some of my Bablers of New Glarus, WI (and originally of Canton Glarus, Switzerland) travelled from WI to Oregon and some of the family may have settled in the Harlow area. Has anyone seen evidence of Bablers there?

Was there a restaurant in Edmond in the 1940s named the WELK Restaurant? It may have had another name, but was reputedly owned by a cousin of Lawrence WELK. If anyone remembers it, I'd like to know more, see a photo if one exists.


McMILLEN

Lynn Risner Sun Nov 11 01:23:00 2001
I am looking for information on the death of Mary Etta (MUTCHELKNAUS) McMILLEN, wife of Thomas C. McMILLEN. She was born Nov 1863 in Indiana. The family moved to Benson Co., ND sometime before Jun 1896 when their son Forrest Alvin McMILLEN was born there. I believe she died between 1905 and 1910. She is listed with her family on the 1900 census for Benson Co., Gallinger Twp., but not in 1910 when the family is listed in Impark Twp. Thomas McMILLEN is listed as widowed at that time.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
