I'm looking for information on Christ & Ameila (Johannes DALKE) ZIMMERMAN from Lehr, ND in McIntosh County. Especially about Christ. His Father was Gottlieb ZIMMERMAN and his mother Katherina ARLT. Any information would be great.
I have the Lehr Jubille book. I can help others from Lehr.
Thanks

I'm looking for information on my great/great grandparents. My great grandma Wilhemina Fried moved to Zeeland ND in 1906 from Romania with her family.

Several of his family have done some genealogy but it was not specific about the actual entry...they do say however that the son and father were named the same name and came to North Dakota. My husband was reared in a small town called Zeeland. He is a mining engineer and left North Dakota years ago when he went to work for Anaconda and U. S. Steel in South America. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Germany at 14 and graduated UND at the age of 18. He never voices any need for material things and I think this family thing would be something
that would really make him happy. Thanks, Eloise Reynolds Delzer....

Hi, I am looking for info on my great Grandfather and Great grandmother.
Aksel Petersen Vinge came to America in 1882 and according to the Police records of Trondhjem he was heading to Sioux Falls. In 1887, he paid for a ticket to bring Gyda Marie Ottesen over. The police records show she was going to Dell Rapids, S.D.
They were married in 1888 (March) and their honeymoon was spent moving to Ashley N. D.
Aksel had a brother, Peder Gerhardt and a sister Anna Marje who also came over to America. I do not know when. I am thinking that they were in the same vicinity as Aksel (he was the oldest - b. 1864). According to an great aunt (in a tape recording) Peder was killed by steam engine that blew up (when?) and Anna passed away from 'running tuberculosis'. I do not know if they died in S.D. or did they go to North with Gyda and Aksel?
Any directions you could tell me to go in, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you for your time!
Sincerely, DAVID Vinge

This is a very interesting/helpful site that we can link from the state site but you may also wish to write the volunteers for your own county to see if you could add them to your site's lookup volunteers.

The following is a link to our website which has many McIntosh County connections including the Speidel and Schlecht names who were all Germans from Russia. All four of my grandparents were born in Russia.

Here they were met by his brother Wilhelm, who had come to this country three years earlier, and was at this time settled in the Beaver Creek area. Thence began the search for land upon which to build a home and make a livelihood. A covered wagon, a team of oxen, and many days of driving, brought them to a place about 20 miles northeast of where Wishek now stands, on section 12-134-70, in Logan county.

In spite of many reverses and hardships, this place offered a home and a good living for a family of 13 children. The first house was built of virgin prairie sod. The closest railroad was Ellendale, N. D. From five to six days were required to make this trip with the streamlined Oxen Mobile. Food was at a premium. Buffalo bones were gathered and hauled into Ellendale and this provided a little cash with which to purchase flour and a few necessities.

Meat was almost unknown for the first winter and great rejoicing was in the home when on one occasion they were able to catch a wild rabbit. In 1889 a prairie fire razed the country and destroyed their home. Penniless, homeless, and courage sorely tried, but not defeated, Mr. Sukut went as a laborer and worked for one dollar a day on the Martin Young Ranch. On Saturday night the trip home was made on foot, so that he could visit his family. The luxury of a mail service amounted to, not daily service, nor twice a week,, but twice a year, until Kulm, was built. On one occasion Mr. Sukut carried a small bag of flour 30 miles for his family.

August Sukut, son of Wilhelm Sukut, was born June 17, 1862, in Paris, Bassaradia, South Russia. In the year 1884 he wed Juliana Bogner, who was also born in Bassaradia, South Russia, and to this union 9 boy and 4 girls were born: Edward, of Napoleon, N. D.; Daniel, Kidder, S.D.; Marie ( Mrs. Karl Zimmerman), Napoleon, N. D.; August, who served in the first World War and was killed in action on Armistice Day: Wilhelm Ellendale, N. D.; Julius, Wishek, N. D. ; Mileta ( Mrs. George Scharf), Wishek, N. D.; Gottlieb, of Lehr, N.D.: Emma ( Mrs. Arthur Bender), Accampo, Calif.: Aaron, Wishek, N. D.; Gideon, Aberdeen, S. D.; and Ester ( Mrs. Andrew Boschee), of Lehr, N. D.

Mr. August Sukut passed away on February 10, 1929, and Mrs. Sukut passed away on March 6, 1947. A young son, Ferdinand, died in 1897, at the age of 7 years. Not only did the old homestead provide a home for the living, it is also the family resting plot.
