I am seeking any information on the above families. Although I can
prove no connection, I have seen cemetery records that show that
these surnames are buried in Anoka County. My ggg grandparents were
ZIEROTHs, and Katrina Zieroth (nee about 1825) married my gg
grandfather Johann Raschke in West Prussia. Since both of these
surnames are uncommon, I find it very interesting that these
familles are buried in the same cemetery. If anyone has any
information on either the RASCHKEs or the ZIEROTHs, I appreciate an
e-mail. John S. Raschke

have assembled a fair bit of data. Several of our Craigs went to
Anoka from Bonny River, St. George area, New Brunswick, Canada in
the late l800's. Some married there, and settled, and others went on
to California etc. or came back here. The names I have particulars
on of Anoka interest are: JEREMIAH LEIGHTON CRAIG, HIRAM ANSON
CRAIG, JOSEPH EDGAR CRAIG, ALONZO CRAIG, I have birth dates etc. and
who they married. If anyone needs same they could contact me. There
were also a number of GOSS family members from here who went to
Anoka. Barb Craig
Seeking info on FISHER family from Anoka County from 1910 through
1972. Here's what I know: Emma Jane (TAVENNER) FISHER Her death
record (5-124) was found in the Anoka Co., MN courthouse and
indicates she died in Blaine, Anoka Co., MN on 1 Aug. 1916 of a
ruptured gall bladder at the age of 60-3-9. It gives her birth date
as 4-23-1856 and her parents as J.W. Tanner (sic, J.R. Tavenner),
whose birthplace was OH, and Nancy J. Young. Her attending physician
was G.K. HAGMAN, undertaker WL WILCOX. The report was filed in
Blaine Twp. on 8-27-1916. Her burial location has not been found.
She was married to Benjamin Franklin "Frank" Fisher, and they lived
in Anoka Co. c. 1910 - 1920, or perhaps 1930. Two of their children
were: Albert R. Fisher: His tombstone inscription states he was
"Albert R. Fisher, 1887-1958" [Forrest Hill Cem., Anoka, Anoka Co.,
MN, "The Silent Cities - A Survey of Anoka Co, Cemeteries Public,
Private and Abandoned" (Anoka, MN: Anoka Co. Historical Society,

tombstone inscription states she was "Verna M. Fisher, 1893- 19__"
[Ibid.] The following two FISHERs, also buried at Forrest Hill Cem.,
