LOBERG, LUNDE posted by Linda Swanson on Tuesday, September 22, 1998

Am looking for Lunde descendants whose ancestors settled in the Grand Forks, ND area and emigrated from the Sarpsborg/Oslo Norway areas. My great grandmother was a Marie LUNDE who married Lars Loberg. She had a brother Iver LUNDE who married an Anna and they had children named Conrad, John, Violet, Elma and moved to the Los Angeles CA area. The parents stayed in Grand Forks and I don't know of other siblings at this point.

CAMPBELL, COOLEY posted by Lenore Benson on Tuesday, September 22, 1998

Anyone with information regarding either the Archie Campbell family from either Grand Forks, Minto, or somewhere the north-eastern area of N.D. please contact me. I am the great granddaughter of Archie, via his daughter ELISABETH LENORE CAMPBELL (COOLEY), who married WINFRED J COOLEY in the Grand Forks area. My mother, MARGARET JUNE COOLEY, was born in either MINTO or MINOT... I think it was probably Minto since it is close to G.F. My mother was born in 1915. My maternal grandmother's 10 brothers and sisters all migrated out to Tacoma Washington sometime in the 20's and 30's.

NASH posted by Willis King Nash on Friday, October 2, 1998

Willis King Nash and his brother bought adjoining lots and built homes next to one another in Grand Forks when they moved their grocery business here from Devils Lake in 1893 or so. These brothers began the company that is now the worldwide Nash-Finch Company. We live in the home of W.K. Nash at 514 S. Fifth Street which was just purchased by the city and may be slated for demolition. My appeal is to the family of Willis King Nash (who may be in the Minneapolis area) or to anyone who may know their whereabouts. We have the desire to renovate the property.

JOHNSON posted by Brenda Johnson Gaetz on Monday, October 5, 1998

I have two studio photo's c 1850-1910(?)which were both taken in Grand Forks. One photo has the photographer as A.P. Holland and the other photograph was taken by C(?)A. Brothers. Address on photo card is Twamley Block Grand Forks, N.D., can anyone tell me approximately when these photographers may have been in business and for how long? Thank you.

SMITH posted by Carolyn Jackson on Sunday, October 18, 1998

Looking for descendants of the SMITH brothers: Peter, John, Robert, Merrit, and Lorenza(o). The 1898 obituary of their mother in Lambton Co., Ontario,Canada, lists these sons as being from Dakota. I have reason to believe they were in Grand Forks County, because in marriage register info for marriage of John, he lists his residence as Thompson, Dakota. I have not been able to find Merrit or Lorenza in Canada and wondered if they may have remained in Dakota?
