OLSEN/OLSON/GRAFF - I am looking for the "History of Stevens County, Minnesota"
history book. (Possibly the text is on-line?) My ancestors from that area had
surnames of "Olsen/Olson" and "Graff". I know that there is some text in the
book about "Clemont/Klement Olsen/Olson" (the Norwegians used whatever spelling
came to mind, when they came to America - my grandfather chose Olsen; his brother
chose Olson)!!! Thanks for your help.

KNUTSON - I am looking for any information concerning the KNUTSON surname. The
facts that I now know are that Nels Peter Knutson was born in Morris, Stevens
County, Minnesota, 25 December 1888. His parents were listed on the birth certificate
as Nels and Randine. I desire to learn more about his parents who came from
Norway, and ,as the family story goes, a name change was made when they got
to the States. Is there a cemetery nearby that marks their grave? Is there a
newspaper archive where one could look at old obituaries? Census documents to
locate the family siblings of Nels Peter? I know that Nels Peter had brothers
named Hans, George, Charles, and a sister named Martha. I would appreciate any
information on possible ways to locate any information. Thank you.

Emil Louis RAASCH is his son. Born 19 Sep 1893 and died 3 Nov 1945. he was married
first to Olga Berthine BOE until her death in 1939. At his time of death it
states his spouse is Margaret from Braham, Minnesota. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.
RAASCH - I am looking for any one who would be willing to do lookups for Carl Raasch wife Emily/Amelia AND Emil Raasch and Olga Boe. I haven't been able to find them in census records but know they were there. I have newspaper articles, obits and family history. Carl was born in Germany. Emil's wife was from Norway.

NISSEN - I am looking for information on the Nissen families that lived in or
near Hancock MN. The names I have so far are children of Friedrick and Catharina
Nissen: Hannes Nissen, Nichols Nissen, Christina Elsie Nissen Gethjie, and Emilie
Nissen. Nichols Nissen lived in Benson MN also. Emilie's dob was (or approximately
was) 9 Oct 1884 and died April 1985 in Hancock, Stevens County, Minnesota. Christina
was born 31 Dec 1875 in Presen (sp) Germany. I don't know the date of her death.
Christina married Carl Gethjie on 29 Sep 1893 in Minden, Iowa. Carl and Christina
had sons named Henry, Eddy, Herman, Glen, and John, and a daughter named Minnie
that married Emmert Koch (lived in Alabama). Gethjie may be spelled Getje, Gethje,
Gathje, Gatje, or a variation similar to those. There are quite a few 'Gathje'
names in Minnesota, but my Grandmother says it is spelled 'Gethjie.' These are
relatives of hers. Friedrick and Catharina were her grandparents. Her father
was Mathaus Nissen, brother to the names listed above. If you have any information
to share I'd love to have it. I e-mailed the Hancock Record for a copy of Emilie's
obituary, but their hotmail account is no longer active.

HANSE - Looking for any family info on Lars and Barbra or Barbro Hanse. My gggrandparents
homesteaded in Stevens County, around Morris, in 1867 I believe. They had at
least 7 sons and most of them entered South Dakota. One of them was my ggrandfather.
Lars would be my gggrandfather. I have heard they were buried in the Scandia
cemetary. I was wondering where that was at. I also heard that this cemetary
was on the Hanse homestead. I've just started seaching and be very thankful
for any help.
