I am not familiar with the Gerszewski surname, but I am seeking info on the Zolondek family who came to America from Poland either in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I would appreciate any info you might on the Zolondeks. Ruth Sellers

HAUGEN posted by Zoe on Saturday, October 6, 2001

Probably no relation. Looking for my mother in laws relations. Her father was born in Au Clair Wisconsin Novemvber 12,1901 as possibly Roy Melviin Haugen. Story is he actually belonged to someone else and Ole and Annie Haugen moved to Washington state with him. They were from Norway themselves. He was the only child they "had". She has no idea who his real parents were, if possibly it was really a Haugen young girl who allowed them to take him away. Anyone tell a tale of something like this?? His dauhter's name is Elaine Pearl Haugin, now Hamilton

Ojata is a very old town that is in North Dakota. It is located near Thompson and Grand Forks. Ojata is in the Oakville township. Today, Ojata is considered a ghost town because no one has lived there since the early and middle 1900’s. The town was founded in 1880. At first the town was named Stickney. People protested against that name so a man named Charles Hutchinson changed the name to Ojata. Ojata is pronounced Ozate in the Sioux language. Ojata was a very small town. The population was roughly around 52 people, which is nothing compared to other towns in North Dakota. Ojata contains a grainery which is called Mnel Co. The grainery was owned by a man named J. Morris. Ojata also had a railroad called The Great Northern Railroad which was later called the Empire Builder and Amtrack. Ojata contained an express office, used to ship packages. And that is what I know about the mysterious ghost town known as Ojata.

CANNAN, CANNEN, CANNON, DEVERAUX, DEVEREAUX posted by Jim Cannon on Sunday, October 28, 2001

I am having difficulty locating information on my great-grandparents Thomas Cannon b 19 Apr 1852 Pittsfield MA and Mary Devereaux b. 1861 Canada. The 1880 Census lists a Thomas and Mary Cannen with a son Thomas J 5mos and a Thomas and Mary Cannan also with a son Thomas J 5 mos. Their ages and places of birth all correspond but of course they can't both be the family I am researching. Another son James P was b. 11 Jun 1882 ND. By 1886 this family was located in St Paul MN. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for relatives of Clara or Agnes Adler. Trying to find a home for 2 pictures taken in Grand Forks. Believe the family was at one time in Kandiyohi Co. MN before moving to ND.
