I wonder if anyone knows what precisely was meant by a "bonanza farm "in Barnes county in 1882 when Charles Dazey founded the town of Dazey, used in The North Dakota Place Names by Wick. Curious since he left, must have gone broke!

Frank HOWEY, his wife Rosa CRAWFORD HOWEY, and their children lived in Valley City, Barnes County, ND around 1906. Frank was a traveling agent for Noyes Bros & Cutler that I believe was a drug firm. Children of Frank and Rosa (Walter, Miriam, Edwin, Zella) would have attended school in Valley City. Can anyone help me find records of my ancestors' living in Valley City? Census records? School records? Any help most gratefully appreciated!

I am looking for the Joseph/Josiah Chandlier Chamberlin/Chamberlain family. I am told that they moved to North Dakota after 1880 (in 1880 they are found in Isanti County, MN Census) I have other Chamberlin's who moved to Barnes County, ND and had kids there, so that is why I thought I would try Barnes County first. Joseph/Josiah sometimes went by the name Chandlier or Chan. His wife's name was Permelia and her maiden name was Bridges. They had nine kids and they are William H., Mary Etta, Alonzo, George, Moses, Emmons K., Arther, Daniel, and Elizabeth. Moses may have married in ND to a Clara E. Hall in 1889 and shortly after moved back to MN and had their one and only child. Elizabeth married a man with the last name Anderson. If you can help me out at all with this family, PLEASE let me know. nkj@spacestar.net

Shirley Olson
Date: 23 Apr 2000

Looking for information on Jonnela and Henrik Larson of Barnes County, ND. Their nephew Harold Dass came from Norway in 1909 to work for them. He married Ellen Kristine Olson in Valley City, ND, on Dec. 5, 1914. They had a son Andor, born Sept. 2, 1915, and returned to Norway sometime in 1916. Elsa Breivik of Tjongsfiorden,Norway is the daughter of Andor, granddaughter of Harold. She is seeking the marriage certificate and birth certificate of her ancestors. A relative in MN checked Vital Stats in Bismarck, and said there were no records there. They asked me to help and I am asking someone in Barnes County to help. Is there anyone familiar with these Larsons? They were the aunt and uncle of Harold Dass, and perhaps there is some family member who could offer some information from bible records or give the name of the church they attended. I live in North Carolina, so cannot check out local records personally. Appreciate any help, Shirley Olson Apex, NC
