My great grandfather, Carl Louis Betow, operated the old Granger Mills between the time period 1880 and 1900. He was born April 12, 1841 Schlonitz, Province Pomner, Germany (Prussia). He married Antje Elizabeth Frieght on October 2, 1870 in Bremen, MN. Carl died October 12, 1908 in Florenceville, Iowa.

NESHEIM, HANSEN, LOSDAHL
We are searching for the parents of our Great Grandfather, Nels Hans NESHEIM. From the census, it appears Nels came to MN from Norway around 1850 and spent his entire life in the Lanesboro area, dying in 1928. Nel's death certificate states his parents as being Hans HANSON, and Bertha LOSDAHL. We have found nothing on either of them. Nels was born in 1848 so came to MN as a very young child with his parents, but we can't locate them in Norway or MN. Believe they should be buried in the North Prairie Cemetery, and have records in the North Prairie Church records, if any exist. Thank you for any help you can give us.

DAHLE
Searching for information on Johanne J. Dahle (ca 1869-spring, 1890) and Andrew J. Dahle (ca 1857- ). They may have been brother and sister. Andrew was born in Fillmore County, Minnesota, USA, and homesteaded on NE12-131-73-W5 near Wishek, McIntosh county, ND, in 1886. Johanne, who also apparently lived on Andrew's ND homestead, and she married Johannes (John) Ingebriktson Berdal (Berdahl) there on Feb. 8, 1889. She was also likely born in Fillmore County, MN, and likely died in Minnesota, USA, either at Rochester or in Fillmore County. It is believed that she and Johannes did not have any (living) children. Andrew was married in 1889, and had two children by June, 1891. I am particularily interested in details of the births of Andrew and Johanne and death of Johanne, however any information on Johanne J. or Andrew J. Dahle, or their ancestors, descendants or place of origin, will be appreciated.

NORTON
My GGGrandfather came to Fillmore County in 1856 and was a farmer. We have him listed in the 1860 Census. His name was Robert Norton. I don't know the names of his siblings or parents. He married Emily Davis and they had the following children: Mary, Philander, Clara, Josephine, Charles, William and Robert and Leon. They then moved to Jackson County, Mn., and that is where he died. It is an interesting family and we think spred out all over after that. Would love to find out more...Carlota Norton Robinson (Brandon, Fl.)

My Dickson family ancestors came to Fillmore county from Green County, Wisconsin in the late 1850"s. The patriarch was Isaac Dickisson, born New Jersey 1805 and died in Fillmore county on 20 September 1874.

I would like to locate his burial place. Obviously if you have any other information about the Dickisson family please let me know. (Dickisson was subsequently spelled Dickison or Dickson.)

Looking for information re: the HAMMER family. Andrew Hammer (born 1854) came to Minn. from Norway about 1874. He married a Anne or Anna LARSON. One census shows seven children, I know only three: Louise Josephine born 1881 in Rushford, Fillmore County. Clara Martha born 1889, and Mary (dates unknown). Approx. 1890 the whole family moved to SD. By that time the children no longer show as living at home. Am trying to find the names of the other four children. We think the following family head was Andrew's brother, John Hammer born 1848 married to a Lena ? born 1846, they had five children, Olavs 1878, Nels 1880, Emmel 1881, Jules 1883, Oscar 1885, and possibly a sixth: Christine.

Hello I've just been put onto your website by a helpful fellow subscriber to alt.genealogy, Becky Kruse. As I told her, it seems a long way to Minnesota from here, even with the globe-shrinking effect of Internet, so it is an act of faith and hope to contact you-all there on behalf of my friend, Beverley Gill. Kindest regards from Tony Wood (In Farnborough, Hampshire, England) . . . What I know: George READ (Reed?) b August 1842 Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England, married Harriett CROFT in Camberwell, Surrey, England in 1877. Daughter (Edith Matilda) b 1877 in Camberwell. Family sailed to USA, settled at **'Read's Landing'**, Chatfield, Filmore County, Minnesota. Son (John George, possibly christened 'George Read', by which he was always known) b 1878. George (b 1842) was a soldier/farmer and was "killed by Indians in the furtherance of tobacco" about 1878/9. Other reports suggest he was killed by being thrown from his horse, but it is possible this was someone else. Harriett and 2 children returned to Camberwell (per Census of 1881). George (b 1842) had a brother James in Lynn, Essex County, Mass. who married Georgiana (nee n/k) and they had a large family of which we know no more. (James b Trowbridge, England), and cousins at Pottsdam, Wisconsin. Any further information, or contact from relatives welcomed, please.

BEEBE, Russell and Susana. Their son George W. is my Great-g- grandfather. George W's 1934 obituary states that he and his family came to the "wild section" of Minnesota, in Fillmore County, near Granger, in 1856. I think George W., who was 9, his father Russell, his sister Malvina and perhaps his mother and other 4 siblings came. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I am researching the George DUXBURY family. George was born to William Duxbury(1798-1881) and Ann Whitaker(d. circa 1849). George was the ninth of ten children, born 15 Oct 1835, died 31 March 1912 in Sumner, Pierce Co., Wash. He came to the US c. 1849 from Lancashire England. The family settled at Salem, Mass. where the mother died. They then came to Rock County, Wisc, where the father is buried. George and all six of his brothers came to Fillmore County MN. George arrived c. 1862. He was married twice: 1) to Mary Mills in 1861, she died in 1869 leaving three daughters: Mary(1862-1869), Henrietta, and Sarah. George remarried Rose CARPENTER in 1872 and had two sons with her: William and John(1874-1958). Rose died in 1877, age almost 30. The family lived near Harmony Twp. Both wives and the eldest daughter are buried in Hutton Cemetery. The family moved to SD in 1882.

I am looking for information on Ole SOLE and wife Lena BERG SOLE They supposedly came to Harmony township with daughter Christina in 1855. So far I have been unable to locate them on any census record in Fillmore county. Christina married Karl BERG in 1874 in Fillmore county, and I can find no record of that either. If anyone had information on this family, please contact me.
