I have had some connections to a Thomas & Bridget Fortune to a possible brother, Michael married to Catherine Wold. Found papers of intent to become a citizen by Michael in 1874 in Burleigh Co. Found Census records w/Thomas in Burleigh working the R.R. in 1870's. Thomas had 5 children. Michael moved to Northern Minn. in 1880'2 to farm. Any info...would BE GREAT!

I think this may be the same line I am working on with Bridget as my 3grdmother I think. Your post here is old, so if you are still researching please e-mail me at

and I will get you more info
