- BERTHIAUME,
MILLETTE, ROBARGE posted by Naomi on Monday, January 1,
2001
- I am looking for information on George Berthiaume. He
was the son of Odillion and Florence Berthiaume.
Odillion and Florence both died in Crookston, MN. In
their obits in 1910 and 1916 George is listed as a
resident of Grand Forks, North Dakota. George had a
sister (first name unknown) who married a Noah Millette
and resided in Crookston, MN. He also had two brothers
by the names of Fred and Dilly. His occupation may have
had something to do with the railroad or some sort of
train? Please let me know if you can help.

- Niagra is on the western border of Grand Forks
County. The adjacent county is Nelson. Don't be
surprised if your Phillips is in Nelson. I would
recommend three sources. Search the usgenweb ND site,
especially for U. of N.D. and N.D. State U. If you have
a date of death, try ordering online a death certificate
at vitalrec@state.nd.us. Contact the Red River Valley
Historical Society in Fargo at rrvgs@fargocity.co..

- Hello, I am looking for the birthplace of Ethel T.
Olson daughter of Edward E. Olson and Betsey Anderson
Olson. She was born between 1904 and 1895. They had
migrated to North Dakota from either Roseau or Waseca
Counties in Minnesota. By 1904, both their immediate
family and her maternal Uncle Severt Braaten and his
North DAkota bride Gena Dalby had relocated in Roseau
County, Minnesota. Thanks in advance, best regards, and
Happy New Year. It is okay to reply directly to the
email address listed..

OLSON posted by Jon Raymond on Friday, January

- There are numerous Braaten's listed in the white
pages for Grand Forks. I'd suggest a nice form letter of
inquiry to those people. Braaten is not a common name in
GF County. I'm not sure where Brent is. If it is close
to the county line, expand you search into the
neighboring county..

OLSON posted by Jon Raymond on Friday, January

- I checked the following site:
http://aolsvc.maps.aol.com/travel/ The only Brent, ND,
found is in Sheridan County. Unless there was a town of
this name in GF County years ago that no longer exists,
perhaps you should try looking there. I was raised in
the GF area and do not recall a town of that name. But I
would still try contacting the Braatens in GF City..
