PAULSON, Palmer I am looking for
information about Palmer Paulson and his descendents. He resided in
Williston and area from around 1930 until his death in 1971. He was the
son of Carl Paulson and Annie Johnson (born Kristiane Maria Johnsen
Hjelle in Faribault county Minnesota on Sept 26 1881). She married Carl
Paulson in 1903 in Norman county Minnesota. They had four children
Palmer on 23 May 1904 in Roseau county Minnesota, Jesse Melvin in
1906,Alice in 1908 and Sadie in 1910. The family moved to Poe in
Mckenzie county around 1911. His mother Annie died of TB around 1925.
From there the family seems to have dispersed. I believe his brother
Jesse lived in Williston for a time as well. Any information would be
greatly appreciated. Bob Erickson 2/21/2005 boberickson@telus.net
STORM, William Joseph Looking for information on my wife's
grandfather, William Storm. Think middle name is Ray but could be
Joseph. He is in 1920 census of Divide County and was killed in coal
mine accident in Williams County in 1924 and according to Clerk in
Williston no death certificate but a record of accident and death on 10
Dec 1024 with address of Hanks. The two children differ in middle name.
Either Ray or Joseph. William married Eileen Louise Terrilion. Two
children Ray LeRoy and Wanda Delia Storm. Think he came from Germany and
could not speak much English. Stories say his name could have been Stone
originally but in search of North Dakota so many Stones that have no
ides. We have just come to dead end. Any help would sure be appreciated.

HAUGE, Knut K. and Ida (ANDERSON) I am
looking for a death date of my great-great-grandfather, Knut K. Hauge
who moved just south of Ray in 1903 where he homesteaded, where I grew
up and some of my family still lives. Nobody seems to know when he died,
and I know that he immigrated to the US, so more than likely he doesn't
have an SSN. I know he had one son Louis Alvin Hauge (now deceased) and
his wife's name was Ida Anderson. Thank you very much. Ray 5/4/03

PALM, Ludwig (Ludvig) I am looking for any information about a
Ludwig (Ludvig) Palm that had farm land near Williston in the early
1900's. He & his first wife had 4 children, June, William (Wilhelm)
Leonard & Myrtle. I am not able to find her name, but according to
census records she was born in Norway, as was Ludwig. Around 1900 Ludwig
married Bessie Nelson of Bayfield WI, but apparently they returned as
their children also list North Dakota as their birth place. (Howard,
Betty, Richard, & Jaon) I can only find them in the 1930 census, & by
then they were in Mpls. Any information would be appreciated! Bette

BAKKEN Family I am looking for anyone with the
last name Bakken living in Williams county today. My
great-great-grandmother, Ingeborg's 6 siblings and both her parents
migrated to USA in the late eighteen-hundreds. I know that one of her
brothers, Carl, lived in Tioga. He was born 4 March 1868 in Norway. He
was a state senator and also the president of the script "The Williams
County Farmers Press." Carl's descendants don't live there anymore. But
I've heard from Carl's grandson, that one/some descendant(s) of Carl's
siblings own his farm. I don't know who of his siblings that is. But the
possible siblings would be: Paul Olaf Larsen Bakken, born 25 Sep 1856,
Otto Larsen Bakken 26 Feb 1861, Lotta Larsdatter Bakken 13 Feb 1863,
Johan Larsen Bakken 26 Nov 1871, and Nina Larsdatter Bakken 28 mar 1874.
I know that some of them lived in Minnesota in the early
nineteen-hundreds. The last brother, Olinus, moved to Canada. Thanks for
any response. Thomas Bakken, Trysil, Norway 1/19/03 th-bak@online.no
