GREENWALD: Aaron GREENWALD died 5 July 1863 after being mortally
wounded on third day at Gettysburg while serving in Co C of 1st Mn.
The rest of the 1st Mn has suffered devastating casualties (85%) on
2nd July. Company C had been posted on divisional (?) guard duty.
Aaron was married to ANNE SWEENY and moved to Anoka,Mn, in 1858 from
PA. They had two sons. one of whom was named WILLIAM. Aaron's father
was DANIEL GREENAWALT. Aaron's grandfather was ABRAHAM GREENAWALT.
Aaron's great grandfather was JACOB GRUNEWALD / Greenawalt of
Weisenberg Twp, Northampton (now in Lehigh) County, PA. I, EDWARD
GREENAWALD, trace back through another older son of Jacob JOHANNAS.
Are there any descendents from Aaron and Anne's line out there?

Mary Emilie JOAN BERNIER was born to John B. Bernier and Anna
Gaash(?sp) on Nov 17, 1917 in Centerville Anoka County MN. I believe
that Joan moved to Chicago and married Phillip Margolis and had two
sons 1938 &1939 and was divorced about 1940-45 in Chicago, and then
disappeared. I am trying to help one of her sons find her, she would
be about 85. on my friends birth certificate she states that her
name is Joan BERNIER from Glencoe MN, But I checked and there is no
birth or other record of her in that area. Thank You in advance for
any help you can give or advice on how I can proceed.

I am searching for relatives of Ebba Matilda CARLSON, born in
Gävle/Gefle, Sweden on 1891-07-26, emigrated to Minneapolis 1913. On
the passengerlist she called Ebba Matilda ANDERSSON, because she was
still married at that time with Edward Emanuel Anderson, born
1888-06-05. I found this Edward in Ramsey, died 1955-01-19 in
Ramsey. I assume she has been remarried, because her surname was
Carlson. All I know about her is that she died in Anoka in
1974-03-29. Her maidenname was EKLUND. Also found her SSN- number,
474-09-8856, and the residence with the time of her dead, 55411
Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN. Her CertID# of dead is 1974-MN-005552
Anoka. She got a son, named Glenn, do not know if he still alive. I
wonder if you can help me, perhaps with some information about her
family / husband, adresses of living relatives.

LAPHAM MANLEY TIGUE Looking to connect to the LAPHAM family. Fred S.
LAPHAM (1863-1940) was married to Sarah D. (1866-1927). Evidence
suggests her maiden name was MANLEY. They had these children:
William J. (1890-1974), Nellie (1892-1961), and Estelle (1895-?).
Fred, Sarah, William, and Nellie are buried in Calvary Cemetery,
Anoka, Minnesota. Is it possible Sarah was the daughter of Patrick
MANLEY (1828-1913) and Bridget McNALLY MANLEY (1835-1910). I am
researching the MANLEY line and their connection to the
TIGUE/McTIGUE line of Anoka and Minneapolis / St. Paul. Especially
looking for family Bible entries in the 19th century. Thanks for any
help. A. Hogan
