Margaret Maynard Fales, b June 4, 1847 was nurse or governess for the Protestant
Orphans Asylum in St. Paul area. I'm looking for more info on this orphanage
as to location and when it closed and where its records have gone. Specifically,

Lorraine Jewell
I am interested in Lucy Devereaux Gillett, wife of James Titus Gillett.
I believe she lived the latter part of her life in Ramsey Co and probably
died there. Am hoping someone may have more information on her.
Lucy evidently moved to MIN in the 1870's or 1880's. She had a son Albert
who died in Inver Grove MN in 1888. The 1880 census lists her in Red Wing
but I had been told that she died in St Paul area in about Jun1882.
Sincerely, Lorraine

no guarantees!

Re; John Gottleib Schultz
I am looking for the birth and death dates of John Gottleib Schultz. His wife Catherine Kappis Schultz died in 1911 in Saint Paul. Her obituary states that her husband died 22 year early which would be around 1889. He was in the 1860 census and 40 years old at the time, so I estimate his birth date to be around 1820. He was born in Germany and was found in the Germans to America Book in 1853, leaving from La Havre France and arriving in New Jersey with his wife's family - Christoph and Veronique Kappis.
His son Adolph was born in St. Paul Minnesota in 1860 and was buried in the Oakland Cemetary in Saint Paul in 1937. His daughter Regina Hodgman was buried in the Forest Cemetary in Saint Paul in 1946 and she was born in 1863. I suspect that John Gottleib Schultz or Schulz was buried in either the Oakland Cemetary or Forest Cemtary, but I have been unable to find records. Any help on his death date or how to locate an obituary would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Agnes Lydia Peterson
In feb 1915 my mother's uncle died in a valvular heart disease at the Bethesda
Hospital in St. Paul. The last years of his life he worked as an estate agent,
probably from an office at 471, Fairview Ave. Since his wife had passed away
in 1908 it seems likely that Agnes, his eldest daughter (b.1874) was supervising
his house and/or his office at this address. She moved permanently to SP
in 1916 when she was attested to SP from the first Lutheran Church of St
Peter, Nicollet Co,MN. Please suggest any measure: e.g. enumeration district
or Lutheran Church within reasonable distance from the above adress? My purpose
is of course to contact the church secretary to ask 1. for look-see in the
Church register 2. for a copy of the relevant page if she is found. I am
not asking you to take any trouble with these more elementary steps.

Hogan, Kelly and Schmiege in St. Paul, around 1920 to 1933:
Daniel Hogan, born New Ross County Wexford, Ireland in 1898, married Miranda (Dolly) Schmiege in St. Paul in 1923. Daniel arrived in St. Paul in August, 1920 and first stayed with his grandaunt Susan Kelly at 61 Louisa St. in St. Paul. Daniel and Miranda went to London to live around 1932 but Daniel died in the London blitz in 1941 and Miranda returned to Minnesota right after Daniel perished.

Elmer Renstrom b late 1800's possibly MINN. married Gladys
Warren b 1894/95 in MINN. Her parents were Herbert S. and Laura Warren.
I think they both died in Hart, Oceana Co., Mich because there are matching
SS# death indexes for both names. There could be a family connection that
brought them back to the area her father was from. I am looking for more
on this Renstrom connection and the children of this union. One World Connect
listing shows one "living" child of Elmer and Gladys. I would love to have
contact with this family.

There are no other people in the Akron area with the name of SIDENCRANZ /

Johanna was born June 23rd 1857. She died January 5th 1936, She is also buried
in Union Cemetery. It was mentioned in a letter I found from a great aunt
that John had 2 brothers that came to America with him. They changed their
names to Almquist and Palmquist. Also mentioned that their
name before coming here was Elison. So this means my great grandfather
changed his name to Anderson.
Their children were:
Genevieve Elizabeth Sophia Oriole Anderson. born November 23rd 1889.
Married Peter Dull. Died October 1934.in Montana.
Lillian Emilia Anderson. Born January 19th 1897. Died ??. Buried Union

My Grandmother Marie Kelly lived in St Paul for many years beginning
about 1901. She died about 1949 in a nursing home. I have not been able to
obtain her death record from the usual archives. The last known address I
have (1937) for her is 8 Irvine Park, St Paul.
If I had the obituaries for 1949 I could check those, but I don't have them. If I had a list of the St Paul Nursing homes that were in existence in 1949 I could ask them to check their records, but I don't have that information.
So I am requesting a little help here to get some auxiliary information that might lead to a death notice for Marie.
Her maiden name was Lizotte: although she spelled the family name Lizzett. Her married names were: Addison, and Kelly. Kelly died in 1918. She signed the 1937 letter Marie C. Kelly. I don't think she married again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

RE: Stevens, Rutecki, Falczynski, Flaherty
My entire family, Grandfather's, Grandmother's Farther and Mother came from Ramsey County, Saint Paul area.
My Mother side is Ladistaus (Walter) Rutecki married my Grandmother Florence Falczynski in 1904 in Saint Paul. They had 8 children, Sophie, Marion, Viola, Stanley, Helen, John and Wanda, at the time they lived at 351 Duchess Street. My Mother was Marion.
My Mother married Gerald Graham Stevens in Chicago, Illinois in 1926.
Gerald Father was Walter Duncan Stevens and his wife was Agnas Delia Flaherty they married 13 February, 1886 in Saint Paul. They had six children Josephine, William, Bill still lives in Saint Paul, John, Walter, Gerald and adopted Reginald Perderson.
I found Ladistaus Rutecki and Walter Stevens in the 1920 census and the Stevens in the 1910 census and tracked the Stevens back to 1545 in England., but lost track of the Rutecki's in 1920, if anyone knows any of these names especially the Rutecki's, Flaherty and Falczynski's I would appreciate an e-mail.
Thank you

Seeking biographical info. pertaining to Bishop James Joseph Byrne of St.
Paul. I recently found an article from the St. Paul Dispatch dated Weds.,
March 17, 1954 describing a visit to St. Paul by President of Ireland, Sean
Thomas O'Kelly, and his wife, Phyllis Ryan O'Kelly. The article states that
Mrs. O'Kelly was a cousin to Bishop Byrne. I am researching the O'Kelly and
Ryan families as well as several related families and would like to figure
out the connection between Bishop Byrne and Mrs. O'Kelly. I believe that
Bishop Byrne died on August 2, 1996 at the age of 88 and was then Archbishop
Emeritus of Dubuque. Any info. would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!

Seeking genealogical information about William McMenemy, b.1799 in
Ireland, emigrated to Scotland, then emigrated to Canada, then to US, probably
rural Ramsey County, wife Elizabeth, b. 1828. William died in 1880; Elizabeth
in 1925; both buried in Oakland Cemetery in St Paul.
Also son, Hugh Henry, born 1872 m. Charlotte b. 1875; Hugh died in 1944, Charlotte in 1954; both buried in Oakland Cemetery in St Paul. Hugh Henry was the youngest of seven children, who may have helped father in farming for sale at St Paul farmers market. Hugh and Charlotte had five children who, in their early years (1920-1970) may also have assisted in this kind of farming from farm in rural Ramsey County. Any help greatly appreciated.
Interested in finding out how Mc Menemy Street got its name. I understand, but only by word-of-mouth, that a William McMenemy and his family had a farm in rural Ramsey and that they followed a trail to a farmer's market in St Paul, this trail being the forerunner of McMenemy Street.
