Here is the link to the online North Dakota Public Death Index, where you can search for Oscar and Johanna:

I suggest searching for the last name Peterson and Sioux County first.

rediron462 — 2009-02-07 07:00:52Z

Chris,

Please grow up. Embrace the FACT that you are not descended from Red Iron. But, take heart, there is very good evidence that our family IS directly related to Chief Running Walker. If you want to know more, email me. Do you want to see documentation? Or, are you going to continue to buy into the "oral tradition" crap you've been fed for the last 30+ years? I can show you where that doesn't add up as well. Your choice my friend.

Being your cousin, I can tell you with 100% certainty, you are not a blood relative of Chief Red Iron. You are related by marriage, not blood.

Would you willing to share your family history? Email me and I will give you a URL that will take you to my family history that's posted on the internet.

Re: Harvey Walking Eagle, Army Medic in WW2

DaveChasteen — 2008-01-23 15:45:43Z

Thank you for the information. I had not seen the website you linked in your first response. The photo from the funeral mentions Harvey Walking Eagle. I wonder if it is the same fellow?

The book by Mr. Strootman is one that I already own. We were lucky that he wrote this volume when he did. Most of the records that he used for reference are no longer in existance. The VA fire in the 1970's wiped out most of the service records for the WW2 Army vets.

Thanks again for responding!

Re: Harvey Walking Eagle, Army Medic in WW2

bethrau1 — 2008-01-23 03:55:26Z

By the way: while looking for Mr. Walking Eagle and your grandfather's unit, I came across the following:

History of the 363rd Infantry: One Regiment of the 91st Division in World War 11. by Ralph E. Strootman. Publishedf 1947 by Infantry Journal Press. Original from the University of Michigan. 354 pages.

Your grandfather is listed by name in one entry (can't read the page online, though), and Walking Eagle is included, too.

I see used copies of the book are offered for sale online, and copies are in many University libraries.

Re: Harvey Walking Eagle, Army Medic in WW2

bethrau1 — 2008-01-23 03:50:33Z

Have you "googled" "Harvey Walking Eagle"? I found a website documenting the lives of Native Americans. Included are photos of the family of a Harvey Walking Eagle who served in WW11. Here is the link:

http://magis.creighton.edu/

click on "photographs", then "Native Americans" , then "Crying for a Vision".

He was from St. Francis, South Dakota, and served in the 91st Division, 363rd Infantry Regiment, Medical Detachment in World War Two. He earned a Bronze Star in 1944 during the Rome-Arno Campaign. I have heard that he was full blooded Sioux. He was a buddy of my Grandfather, Haskel M. Reels; having served together in the same unit. Any information would be deeply appreciated.

Chrisi wrote, "I know I am of Sioux Indian descent, ... the blood comes from my great-grandmother's side. ..."

Chrisi, you have four great-grandmothers. Is the great-grandmother who may be of Sioux descent the mother of the grandmother who is giving you the information?

Do you know when and where your grandmother (of the Sioux line) was born? It may be possible to identify your great-grandmother if you can provide your grandmother's name at birth, and date and place of birth. If this grandmother &/or her mother are still living, you may not want to provide this information on the message board.

Boehme - Can anyone provide a clue to my ancestry?

2005-12-28 14:26:57Z

I need help; I know I am of Sioux Indian descent, but I do not know through what tribe, or person for that matter. I asked my grandmother about this, and all I could discover was that the blood comes from my great-grandmother's side. However, I have no idea how to contact her, and I believe her and my grandmother (mother and daughter, respectively) are not on speaking terms (I have a dysfunctional family). I believe my great-grandmother's married name is Boehme. If anyone has any information, or any ideas on how I might find out more, please let me know. Thanks.

I am also looking for any Littlesoldier living/dead in the South Dakota region. Is it possible you could help me find them or find a common ancestor. Old family stories say my great grandfather had two Lakota sons from a marriage in the Badlands before he married my great grandmother.

Or is it coinsidence, that the name Littlesolder is used by separate families? I find no other tribes using the name Littlesoldier.

I have spoke to my father and he has told me that you have actually been to my grandpa's house and talked with them about this subject. So have you found anything else out?

LaDouceur -- trying to find heritage

2005-12-28 14:25:07Z

I was told I am Sioux, but my Birth cettificate is incomplete. Parents are both deceased. I am looking for anyone who can give me info on my family heritage and who may be registered with a tribe. Maiden name - LaDouceur. Please if you can help me, email me with info. Thank you

Re: John C. Turner

pfturner — 2006-01-22 14:03:01Z

Hi:

If John C. Turner's father's name is James Turner, he may not be the John Turner I am looking for. The John Turner (age 25) I am looking for was living with his sister, Bridget (Turner) McCarty in Garryowen, Jackson County, Iowa on the 1870 census. My John would also have an additional sister named Julia and a brother Edward who was my great grandfather. At this time, I am speculating that their parents were John and Rosanna Turner who resided in Jones County, Iowa in 1860 and 1870

I do have John C. Turner's Obit wiitch did not tell me much as far as parents and where in Ireland he came from, and census information from 1880 on til his death in 1922. If you have additional information to provide that his father is James Turner, I would appreciate it along with information on Luella Jane Turner.

One additional question; what is the relationship of Agnes Rogers to John C. Turner's family. I believe her maiden name is Hughes. She was considered a daughter in John's obit. She also was in attended to Mary A. Turner's husband's funeral services

Thanks for any assitance.

Re: LaDouceur -- trying to find heritage

Paul_L_Meisel — 2005-12-28 14:25:33Z

LaDouceur is a relatively common name in North Dakota, particularly in the northeastern part of the state. I believe that the LaDouceur name is usually associated with Metis (French Canadian-mixed blood, usually Chippewa or Cree) but also now and then with Santee and Yanktonai Sioux (the eastern bands), less often with Lakota (western Sioux).

There are many Ladouceurs in the Pembina County ND region, that might be a good place to start looking. Good Luck!

Keogh Family

2006-01-22 14:04:40Z

I am researching the Keogh family. Sometime in the early 1900's they moved from Ramsey County, ND to Sioux County, ND. They had a family home at Fort Yates.

Thomas J. & Mary G. Keogh
Children:
Thomas VINCENT Keogh m. Hattie Marsh
Leo P. Keogh m. Leona (Harrison)(nor certain of this)
Vernon Keogh
Charles Keogh

They had more children than this but these are the ones that I have found in Sioux County.
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Watauga S.D.

rapidsolutions — 2005-12-26 19:20:50Z

My grandmother Sophia Dybing bought a farm outside of Watauga in 1917. Grandfather Dybing had died when they owned a homestead in Presho, SD. Decendents of grandmother and grandfather Dybing's ten children now live all over the U.S. Grandmother sold the Watauga farm sometime after 1924 and initially moved with her new husband to California. Have any other family members contacted you? A lot of information about the family in the U.S and Norway is available. Another message mentioned Charles and his wife Stella Dybing. Charles was a son of Sophia and her first husband.

Re: Watauga S.D.

Hello,
I saw your message on Ancestry.com and thought I'd let you know that my aunt Evelyn LaBelle Tester was married to my uncle Clyde Tester and they put together a sort of family history in 1979 (they lived in Minnesota) which traced a bit of both the LaBelle family and the Tester family. Maybe you already have a copy of this, but if not, I'd be happy to put it in the mail to you.
I've been searching the Tester family (my maiden name) to put a genealogy together. All the best, Katherine St. John in Salt Lake City

Looking for a lead, a clue, a hint on a Linotype operator (typesetter) name of Russel Nelson reported to have worked in Ft. Yates c. 1920-21.

He was 22-23 yrs. old at the time and born in PA. Was there a boarding house in Ft. Yates or other Nelson family in town?

Read a couple years of Ft. Yates newspaper microfilm from the period and found no mention of him (surprising as the paper was so chatty).

Was there another print shop in Ft. Yates area at that time? Could have been a commerical operation or a school, church mission, institution that printed their own material. Have heard the Standing Rock Res. may have had their own paper. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
