I am looking for information on the family of John Adam WISE. I located him (with family) in the Dakota Census 1885. He came from Pa. I am trying to find out more about the move that brought him there (to Steele). I noticed that many of the names that are surnames that married into the family are there also and that a large percent of those came from Pa. One story is that the family came with Steele - a friend from army days. Some of the family members returned to Pa, Md and Va. Others remain in ND (one is 99 this year). Several of us are trying to piece the story together. Thank you for any help. Terry Wise Vanderslice jtvandersl@aol.com

Sylvanus MARRIAGE family: I am searching for the Syvanus MARRIAGE family. Wife was: Martha Ellen Fellows. m. abt 1881. 10 children. Known children were; Beatrice, Esther Mae, Joseph, Wallis, and Mary Ellen. Daughter, Esther Mae Marriage was born in Dawson, Kidder, ND on 21 Mar 1894. Esther married Newland Gilman ALLBEE on 24 Jun 1915 in Barlow, Foster, ND.
Looking for information on Mary O Lindblad who owned a boarding house in Kidder County, Steele Township. The 1920 census shows she was the mother of Myrtle age 19, Alice age 17, Effie age 15, Fred age 12, and Ray age 10. The census shows that Mary was 75 which would make it impossible for Mary to be the mother of these children. Effie was my grandmother, she remembers her mother as being very old. We think her real mother died and the that Mary O Linblad was her grandmother. The childrens father was John Anderson born in Sweden, changed his name to Lindblad once he came to America. His wife we thought was Marie Oberg however, that may not be true. They left their older children in Sweden not sure how many there were. We know there was a set of twins. John worked for the railroad we think the Northern Pacific. Effie (married Hamilton Bird), Ray, and Fred later came to Minnesota. Alice went to Idaho. This family had a very hard life, if anyone remembers or has any information please contact myself. Thanks in advance Laurie Houle

My name is Normal Langedahl, and my husband is Hal. His great grandfather was Jens Madsson Langedahl, married to Inger Marie Lokkebo. They immigrated to the US from Bergen, Norway 1884/85, and settled on a farm along the Wild Rice River, Wapheton, ND. I believe he is buried in the Lngedahl cemetery as may be his sons Jacob and Samuel. I see there is an inquiry regarding a Lars and Bertha (Dyrland) Langedahl and wonder if this might be a brother or dousin to Jens. When Jens and Inger came to US they had 4 children, Jacob, Jenney, Nellie and Louis (my husbands grandfather). They had 3 more children born there at Wapheton, Simon Mathias, Anna Sophia and Samuel Jenson. Would appreciate any information you have. Thanks. Norma halnor@sasktel.net
