I am looking for info on a Charles Smiglewski whom died on 9/19/1954 in McLeod County....if there and funeral notices, newspaper articles or and other things that might explain when, what and where Charles was and what he was doing for a job.....is there anything explaining his death that may mention any surviors like family members....any info will be of great help

My boyfriend is a Smigliski with roots in Silver Lake, MN (McLeod Cty). I can't remember if Charles is his grandfather. Nor do I know when his grandfather died. If this is the same Charles, I can provide you with information. This Charles owned a farm in Silver LAke. Had big horses that he did farm work with. Farm was sold a while back. Chester, his son, worked the farm after Charles died.

Hello:

To sort this out, you should go to the www.mnhs.org website and note that there are variations of this surname (SMEGAL, SMIGIELSKI)in McLeod County and these folks may be related.

If by chance you are in the Silver Lake area this weekend for Pola-Czesky Days, on Saturday 6 August 2011, there will be a roundtable history discussion from 1pm-4pm at the American Legion Hall, 241 Main Street W., Silver Lake. Admission is free. This will be a great opportunity to network with other Silver Lake/Glencoe historians and genealogists with Polish or Czech roots...
