My mother's mother immigrated to Rice Co. from Belgium in the 1880's -I believe. Her last name was Pineur, and she married Joseph Burke. They lived in Faribault until their deaths. I am interested in information concerning Belgian immigrants in Rice County, and of course my ancestor. I have traced Joseph Burke back to Ohio where he was born in 1861. His parents appear to have immigrated from Ireland sometime during the period of the potato famine, but I have no real information about them. Thanks.
There was a Edith Hurlbutt who lived and may now have died in Rice County. Edith Hurlbutt died in January, 1984 in Northfield, Rice County, MN according to the Social Security records 475-34-0541. Edith was researching the Gardenhire family. I hope that her work has been saved there in Rice County and that I can get a copy of her research. If not, I'd like to get a copy of her obit so I can try to contact some of the living relatives and see if I can get her a copy of her data. What newspaper would such an obit appear? Is there a genealogy group in Northfield that might have a copy of her data? I'm working on the Gardenhires who moved to Texas before 1860. And have living relatives in the Dallas area. Any pointers or help would be most appreciated. My e-mail address is psmith@rsn.hp.com or n5vgc@pulse.net Presley Smith Box 833851 Richardson, TX 75083-3851 Thanks for any help. Presley
My father was Dr. James Huntington GRAVES. He was born and raised in Fairbault, MN. before leaving for the University of Minnesota. His father was Roy Bemis GRAVES of Fairbault, MN. I also had an uncle named Robert GRAVES who was killed in WWI in Africa. He was a pilot and was shot down. Does anyone have any information on either my uncle or grandfather. I remember the house that they lived in as I visited it once when I ws small. It was a large cut stone house I believe right in town. My grandfather was involved with Chatauqua shows and there was a band shell in the park that he used to perform in, he told me many years ago. If anyone can give me a little direction where to start to research some of this please let me know. thank you so much.
