George Edward NASH, b. TX 1878, last wrote to his brother in
1922. He was in Fargo, working for a railroad. I haven't been able to
find a trace of him since that time. Is there a soundex for the 1910
and/or 1920 ND census? Will welcome any suggestions for locating
information about this "long-lost uncle".

*** Taken from "Five Generations of the PYLE FAMILY"******
Steve Pyle Born: January 2, 1860, in Ohio Died: June, 1924
Married: 1892 to Maude Potter, who was born September, 1872 in
Wisconsin. Maude passed away in April, 1910 Steve was born in Ohio,
but moved to Hastings, Wisconsin, as a youngster. His mother, then
his father died and he was raised by a family named Dockstader. While
living in Hastings he became acquainted with a man by the name of
J.B. Panchot, who later moved to North Dakota to be foreman of a farm
located 8 1/2 miles north of Mapleton, North Dakota. It was this man
who Steve worked for when he first came to North Dalota. Maude was
born at Prescott, Wisconsin, only a few miles from hastings. Maude's
father came to North Dakota, filed a claim on land 6 1/2 miles orth
of Mapleton, and after building a sod house moved his family to North
Dakota from Wisconsin Steve was living only 2 miles from the Potter
house. In Wisconsin, Steve and Maude lived only a few miles apart, it
was not until they were living in North Dakota that they became
acquainted, married and begain this portion of the Pyle family. They
had 12 children. Guy Gordon Lester Leroy Noel Newton Nellie Alice
Kenneth Keith Stephen Sterling Ruth Virginia Clifford Curtis Stella
Walter William (my late father-in law) Dallas D. Baby girl I do have
birthdates and some death dates and info about the children's
families.
Can someone help me locate the parent's names of Steve Pyle
and Maude Potter?

Vetle Knutsson Hovden, buried at Gardner, ND. Ol' Vetle is a pivotal
character in our family's history. In addition to trying to find
others of his descendants, beginning with his daughter Julia also of
Gardner (at the turn of the century) I'm focusing on this
great-grandfather. He comes from a notable Telemarken family line. I
have considerable info about the old country background but little on
ol' Bill.
In the Wheaton College, Illinois Annual Registry, 1894-95, it gives
grandmother Rachel Hovden's name (misspelling it as Hovedon) and says
she's from Trysil, N. Dak. Never heard of that name in any family
history discourse. Did Trysil change it's name, get amalgamated, or
what?

I am just starting research so any help would be appreciated. My dad,
Helmer Elvin BJERKE was born in Fargo, N.D. on 24 July 1914 (I
think). The only information I have is that his father may have been
named Christ BJERKE and his mother was Julia. I also have the name of
a brother, Carl Goodwin BJERKE and a sister, Minnie. Thanks.

I was told that a Gilbert Kouf married 2nd a Hattie Frolund (married
2nd) in Moorehead in the 1920's. There is no record there. I was
thinking Fargo may be the place.

Looking for any information on Philip Sheridan HADLEY and his family.
He was born in Fargo in 1889 and later moved to Michigan and died in
1957. He had a brother Fred that also died in Michigan. I don't know
where Fred was born. I am interested in his parents and anyone else
in the family.
