JOHNSON, Louis and Grace Edna (ALSPACH) I am looking for information on the Alspach families that live (lived) in Williams County. My grandmother was Grace Edna (Alspach) Johnson. She was born on homestead land near Ray, 11 Jul 1905. She married my grandfather, Louis Johnson, on Dec 28, 1926. The North Dakota Department of Health has no record of their marriage. Could anyone tell me if there is a record of their marriage at the Williams County Clerk's Office? I'd also like any pictures of the Alspach families homes during the early 1900s.

MOSER, Henry Oliver and Rose E. (BURKE) Looking for BURKE AND MOSER info. My ggrandparents were Henry Oliver Moser and Rose E. Burke. They were married in Williston N.D. in November 1906. On their marriage license it says they were both residents of "Ridgelawn" Montana. Can anyone tell me if the marriage records the county has contain the names of parents of the bride or groom. I am trying to confirm the names of Rose's parents. I have her death certificate and it says her father was William Burke and mother was Nellie McNett. Her mother died when she was little...so not a lot of info on her mother is available. Her father later remarried and had other children, Walter and Edna Burke. If anyone knows anything about the county marriage info, please email me. Thank you Kim Corlis 9/9/02 kcorlis@hotmail.com

KNOTT, Elizabeth (LARPENTEUR) Can someone please tell me where I might find information on a soldier who was stationed at Fort Buford before 1871. All I know is that my relative, Elizabeth Larpenteur Knott died there in 1871 (she is buried at the Fort Buford cemetery) and her husband had been a soldier there. I do not know when they were married but I assume that it was around 1870 as that is when her father, Charles Larpenteur, lived there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
