Hi again, I am just putting a few pictures on line, just select the name from the short description to view and click the back key to return. These are all pictures that my mother kept. They must of been dear to her and I would very much like to find out how. All of these pictures have Canby and Minneota, Minnesota connections and most were taken in the 1940's.

Lutheran Genealogy Links

I found a great link for those searching their ancestor's with Lutheran heritage. Please check out "Lutheran Roots" Genealogy Exchange, sponsored by Aid Association for Lutherans (AAL). The "Lutheran Roots" Genealogy Exchange consists of two sections: the Family Registry which allows you to post your surnames and locations for others to see and maybe help locate information and the second section is a Genealogy Message Board where you can ask genealogy questions or share with your research experiences or tips. All they ask is that you read and follow the "Lutheran Roots" Genealogy Exchange guidelines.

I am searching for all of my relatives in the land of Ten Thousand Lakes, MN. If you have any Hansen's, Sillman's, Swenson's and this list could go on forever. If you have any relatives that lived in Yellow Medicine County, MN, or Lyon County, MN especially Canby, Minneota and Oshkosh, in the 1800's; please write me
  I look for and add information on the new GenConnect Surname boards for Rootsweb, for all my ancestors. These GenConnect surname resource pages includes Query, Bios, Obits, Wills, Bible, Pension boards plus more. Plus these boards will notifiy you when a query is made, if you want.
