Karen, I've been to Enderlin many times! They were in our sports division in high school so I played basketball against them back in the day.

Would you like to join the project or are you just looking for research aid?

Answer 4

My family came to North Dakota for homesteads and my grandfather met my grandmother there and they married and had ten kids - they also had homesteads in Montana and raised sheep there - going back and forth to raise wheat in North Dakota - my grandmother was french Canadian and Scotish and Métis - about half First Nations blood - Ojibwe or Saulteaux and Cree while my Grandfather came from Dutch, Walloon, Hugenot, Irish and English lines - I can not look things up on the Ellis Island information because all the ancestors I have so far traced were here before that began

Answer 5

I was born and raised in Mandan ND. Ancestors from Minnesota, Canada, Russia (now mostly Ukraine).  An uncle of mine did a lot of research on Germans from Russia.  The research now resides at NDSU.

My husband's Grandfather Thomas Jensen Thomsen (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thomsen-1338) raised his son Robert Ronald Thomsen (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thomsen-1323) in Wahpeton, Richland County, North Dakota, United States. After moving there from Denmark. Thomas Jensen Thomsen served in the Military, He served in the North Dakota National Guard in the Spanish-American War, WW I in the Army, and remained in the Guard, reaching the rank of Lt. Colonel. He went on to form the first American Legion in Wahpetan, originally named after him.

Let me know if this is a help. Thomas Jensen Thomsen also met his wife, Emma Josephine Losinger (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Losinger-24) and they were married in they were married in Abercrombie, Richland, North Dakota,

I find many of the Losinger family members, in my husband's family were born, raised, and/or died in North Dakota. I am sure there are many more. I will find as I begin adding them.

Please let me know what categories, I may add and badges, please.
