Could you possibly know whom Lauritz Bjerke's parents were..

posted by Sonja Parsons on Monday, November 6, 2000

No, I've never found out the names of his parents. The only things I know about Lauritz and his wife is that he was born in Norway and she was born in Sweden, and their parents refused to let them marry in each other's country. The story of their wedding is that it took place at the border of Norway and Sweden; he had to stand in Norway and his bride had to stand in Sweden during the marriage ceremony. I wish I knew more than this, but not so far. Are we looking for the same Lauritz?.

You can order death/birth certificates online from the ND Public Health Department at www.vitalrec@state.nd.us. Do you know the religious denomination? Many of the rural churches have their own cemeteries. Try a yellow pages distance search for "churches" around Thompson..

HAGNESS, KLEVEN posted by Robert Glenn Allen on Wednesday, November 22, 2000

I am seeking anyone who has any information regarding the surnames HAGNESS or KLEVEN in Grand Forks (ND), Fordville (ND), or Fertile (MN).

KENNEDY, MCDONALD posted by Mac McDonald on Wednesday, November 22, 2000

Thanks Liz, I am trying to get a full dob for Alexander Sr. as well as a date of death and place of death. I do not have a maiden name for Merry A. or d date or place of death. On all of the kids, I have only a month and year of birth and while I think they were all born in ND I don's know what town or city. I also have no spouses marriage dates, death dates or places. Since Elizabeth married my Henry Saxon McDonald, I am most interested in her. The only child I know of was a male named LaVerne born 11-8-1916. I am sure he was born in this same area, and he may have died in 1976 in that same area. I have nothing on a wife or children for LaVerne. Thanks a million, Mac.
