My Grandfather on my Dad's side was Adolph Grandlund (born in Minnesota in 1908), he lived in Dagmar in 1932, the year my father was born (Aug. 23,1932) in Sheredan County, Plentywood Montana. His mother was Ruth Sorensen (born in Dagmar Montana in 1917). My father, born Lawrence Eugene Grandlund later changed his name to Gene Eugene Handlos. I'd like to find out anything I could about the Grandlund or Sorensen families.
Thank You,
Beverly Taylor

I am working on the genealogy of the Handlos family and would like to track down members of this family line, in particular all of the siblings of your father. I have lots of information about the Handloses but have a big gap for Albert Handlos and all of his children. I would appreciate any information you can send me.
