My g-grandparents, John Peter and Louise MATHISEN (names have several spellings) left Norway in 1869 and were living in Richland County (136 N 49 W) in 1880. They had children Serena (born 1868 or 1869 in Norway), Mattie, Johanna/Hannah, Christine, and Gertie. A brother Peter either lived with them or nearby. They moved to Lewis County, Washington state, sometime between 1886 and 1892. I would appreciate any information anyone may have about the area where they lived, the reason they may have come to this area, the reason they may have left, etc. Serena is not known to have moved with them, so may have married and stayed, or may have died. Any information would be most helpful.

In summer 1876 an elderly man was said to have been murdered with an ax a few miles north of Ft. Abercrombie and on the Dakota side of the river. He was the father-in-law of homesteader Johan P. JULIN. It happened on the claim of my great-granduncle Per (Peter) JOHNSON. The victim's name is unknown. The crime was unsolved. An army vet was said to have confessed to it years later. I have found no mention in Red River Star (Moorhead) for that summer. Any leads would help.

I would like to make contact with relatives in the Colfax area. My grgrandfather Ole OLSEN LUND came to the Colfax area in the mid 1880's I believe.

Ole and Tonette BOLSTAD were the sponsors for my gr uncle Obel Pauli OLSON'S baptism at Richland church.

I discovered the wedding records and baptism records, last summer on a trip to the Colfax area, at the Richland Lutheran Church. Any help will be appreciated.

Henry's obit was listed on the Wilkin County webpage as published in January 1973 when he died. No mention of the burial location was made.

Svein Frislie Mon Dec 3 02:13:02 2001
I'm looking for information about my great grandmother's brother. His name is Ole EVENSON and came from Norway. I think I have found him in the 1920 census from North Dakota, Richland County (Wapheton), Enumeration District 147, page 3/35.

He was then living in 2nd Street #24 with 4 children. It was Ida, 14 years, Lily, 13 years, Edwin, 11 years and Harold 9 years. Ole EVENSON was at that time 40 years. He was married, but his wife's name is not mentioned. He was a worker at a coal yard.

I don't expect that any of his mentioned children are alive. But it also might be that he got more children after 1920.

Is there any person in the Richland County having information about Ole EVENSON and his descendants, I would be much greateful.

Looking forward hearing from somebody!
Best regards from Svein Frislie (Norway)

I am looking for any records I can find regarding the ZACHARIAS family. I have accessed the 1900 cencus and found that August ZACHARIAS and his wife Emma and 6 children lived in Brightwood Township. There is a village listed but I cannot read it. I'm looking for birth death and marriage records. Also if there were other ZACHARIAS' in the area. My grandfather was Adolph ZACHARIAS one of the six children.

Theodore J. HINGTGEN / HINTGEN had a photographic studio in Wapheton after he moved there from Eastern Iowa about 1880. I am interested in his family and obtaining photographs that he produced. I am also interested in his nephew, photographic apprentice, Frank EBNER. Frank EBNER was killed in a train accident in the Breckenridge train yards 22-Oct-1893.
