Fulda is in Murray County, the same county where the courthouse is (in Slayton).

Thanks. I will check it out. Did not know the court house was in different county.

Re: Taylor death certificates

Fulda is in Murray county, MN and the courthouse is in Slayton. As far as I know it hasn't burnt down anytime in its history. I know they have records before 1900. Sheri C.

In the Minnesota birth index, there is a William George Gilfoy born May 5, 1915 in Sherburne County. His Mother's maiden name was Ricard. There were two other Gilfoy children in the index with the same Mother's maiden name.
http://people.mnhs.org/bci/search.cfm

In the Minnesota marriage index, there is a Thomas Gilfoy marrying an Aurora Ricard in Polk County on 11-19-1905
http://www.mncounty.com/Modules/Certificates/Marriage/Defaul...

In the Minnesota death index, there is an Ora M. Gilfoy who died May 17, 1917. On the www.familysearch.org website, it said her maiden name was Ricard.
http://people.mnhs.org/dci/Search.cfm

Do you suppose someone read the birth certificate wrong when they posted in on the birth index, and so it says May instead of March?

I am looking for my Great Grand father. He was married to Ellen Gustaf but she listed herself as divorced after they got to MN. I think I found Richard on a census in Lowville and his last name was listed as Gustafson. My family has been looking for Richard for as long as I can remember. We lost track of him sometime between 1860 and 1890. any leads would be great.

Does anyone remember a cemetery located in Des Moines River Township that was located about a mile east of the N/S Dovary road and a mile north of the E/W road that went to Windom? It was a small cemetery surrounded by a grove of trees on property later owned by Clarence Kirchner (owner on plat map 1961). It disappeared in the late 50's - early 60's. Does anyone know what happened to the graves and headstones?

Info on Jacob Ewy -a Galacian Mennonite

ksperling1 — 2011-01-12 18:23:25Z

Jacob Ewy died 13 Mar 1889 as recorded at Red River Valley Township, Murray Co, Minnesota books. I sure would love to find out where he was buried or an obituary. His wife was Barbara Albert Ewy from the same area -she was born in Galicia and died 14 Jun 1897 Murray County Minnesota. Barbara is listed on the 1895 Des Moines River Township living with son Chris and Elizabeth Ewy. Jacob and Barbara had many Galacian Mennonite relatives in the area including a son Jacob who died in Murry Co. in 1926. A son who died Watonwan Co. and several children who died at Westbrook, Cottonwood County so I am not sure where to look for the gravestone or obituary of Jacob/Jakob and Barbara Ewy. I have not found anything yet but I keep looking. Thanks for any help. Kathy

This is a followup to my original message as I am still trying to gather information on my ggfather's time spent in Slayton, Myrray, MN.
Anna Klingler born 15 Nov 1893 in Slayton.
Margaret M. Klingler born 14 Feb 1895, also in Slayton.
Jacob August and Anna J. R. KLINGLER are their parents, immigrated from Gossau, St Galen, Switzerland.
Any vital records, directories or land record information would be appreciated.
