- John HANSEN, my great-great grandfather. According to
the 1880 mortality schedule, he died in March of 1880 at
age 27, of "BRIGHTSDIS" (anyone know what that was?) The
township platt of Lakeville Township has his land on the
southern border, but the 1880 census has his widow and
children living in Blooming Township. His wife was
Carrie, and his children were Mary, age 2, Randine, age
1 and John, one month. The son, John died as a baby or
very young boy. I have been trying to find out where
both Johns are buried, when they were born, and the
exact dates of death. I've also been trying to find out
when and where John and Carrie were married. According
to the 1880 census, John was born in Wisconsin. I'd like
to find his parents and trace him back to Norway. He is
the only Scandinavian branch of the family I am stuck
on. Were any newspapers published in Grand Forks County
in March, 1880 that may mention an obituary for him? If
anyone can lead me to some sources in your county that
would help me, I'll love you forever! Devery Anderson

- I am trying to trace my husbands family genealogy but
am between a rock and a hard place. His mother's maiden
name was Florence Docken and she was born in Grand Forks
14 Nov 1912 to Louis E & Laura Larsen Fallows. Both
parents immigrated from Norway. Laura in 1903, she went
to Washington & California before ending up in Grand
Forks. Apparently she worked in several restaurants for
an Uncle??? We have been told that this Uncle opened a
restaurant in Grand Forks (1907?) Louis immigrated in
1903 but immigration papers show his name to be spelled
as Falos. Louis & Laura also had another daughter
named Eleanor who was born in 1917. Louis & Laura
both died in GF him in 1931 and her in 1924. Laura also
had a sister in Norway when she died. Any help with
information on Louis or Laura would sure be appreciated.

- Hi there, I am seeking any information on a John
William Roosa b: 1837 in Ohio and d: 1901 Jamestown,
Stutsman County, N.D. John married Mary (I don't know
her last name) b: 1866 in Norway and d: 1943
Homer,Stutsman County, N.D. I found a mention of John in
the Grand Forks newspaper in 1882 looking at land in
Larimore. These two were married in either Grand Forks
or Larimore in 1883 - 1884. They had 5 children. Matthew
Mathias, Andrew, Daniel, Fredrick and Mary(Matty). I
found Mary and children on the 1900 census in Turtle
River Twnshp, and John in the state poor farm and
hospital. I have found that Dakota Territorial records
are few and far between and when available are sketchy
at best. If anyone has information on this couple could

greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time,
Carmen.

in Valdres Norway, married in 1888 in Park River ND to
Christina Carry Odden, Son of Alf Lestrude (Leistrude)

sisters or another wife as he and Christina separated in
the early 1900 when she moved with her children to
Montana and took up a homestead. Agnes Lestrud is listed
in an entry with her husband, Jhalmer M. Lund, in the
Blooming Township section. Jhalmer's parents were from
Norway, and farmed 8 miles west of Grand Forks. There
are 7 children listed for Jhalmer and Agnes: Orland (New
Brighton MN), Kenneth (rural Grand Forks County), Duane
(Emerado ND), Lyle (Grand Forks), Merle "Mike"
(deceased), Everett "Jim" (rural Grand Forks County),
and Joyce (Mrs Fred Julian, Tulsa OK). Agnes died in
1938. Jhalmer later married Laura Pederson of rural GF.
Mr Lund was GF County sheriff from 1932 - 1936. He had
28 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. He and
Laura died in 1965.
