Does anyone have a membership at ancestry.com?
Nowali	Hi.. I found some information on ancestry.com that I can't get access to. Why? Because I don't own a creditcard, so I can't get a membership. Please help me out! This is the info I can't get full access to: http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gsfn=Elenus&gsln=Andresen&gsby=1880&gsbco=1&gsbpl=1%2C+&gsdy=1906&gsdco=1&gsdpl=1%2C+&gst=&gsoco=1&gsopl=1%2C+&sbo=0&rank=1&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gl=allgs&gss=&so=3 The man I need info about is Elenus Andresen. So, again, please help me out, I would be so grateful! And if there is a picture or some info worth saving there, please post it here for me!!
jwiborg	Hi Caroline, the best would probably be to order a creditcard... [:)] With regards to the death record, the Minnesota Death Index are available for free [url="http://people.mnhs.org/dci/Search.cfm"]here[/url] ANDRESEN, ELENUS D. Date of Birth: 03/26/1880 Place of Birth: OUT OF STATE Mother Maiden Name: UNKNOWN Date of Death: 09/22/1961 County of Death: HENNEPIN certid# 1961-MN-025811 To retrieve more info about this record, you can order the Death Certificate. But to pay the $8 fee, you'll need a creditcard for that as well... [:I] Jan Peter
Nowali	Thank you so much!! [:)] And I think I'll get a creditcard in the near future ( ", ) But what about the census record? Nothing there?
Jo Anne Sadler	What exactly are you trying to find out about Elenus? Family here? 1910 census, Rockford, Winnebago, Illinois Elenus Andresen, boarder, 30, widowed, born Norway, immigrated 1908, cabinetmaker at a showcase factory. 1930 census, Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN Matt Freborg, 41, born Norway, immigrated, 1904, assembler in auto plant Bina/Biya, 44, wife, born Norway Virgil, son, 11, born MN Donald, son 6 1/2, born MN Elenus Andresen, 50, brother-in-law, born Norway, widowed, proprietor, showcase factory Fred Andresen, 23, nephew, born MN, assembler in auto plant 1920 census, Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN Matt Freburg/Fosburg, 30, Bettia, both born Norway, immigrated 1908, naturalized 1905 (obvious error) Vincent, 1 7/12 born MN Virgil, 1 7/12, born MN - not in 1930 census Elliner Andresen, 39, mother-in-law, born Norway, immigrated 1906, naturalized 1905. Age is an obvious error. Gotfred Andresen, 13, nephew, born MN Elenus Andresen registered for the draft in Rockford, Illinois on September 12, 1918. Born March 26, 1880, naturalized citizen, cabinet maker, nearest relative, Mrs. Mat. Freborg. Physical description, slender build, blue eyes, bald. Problem with stiff fingers in hands. The MN Historical Society has an early birth index for: Fred Marius Andresen, born November 30, 1906, mother's maiden name - Gudrun. On their Death Index there is a: Fred M. Andresen, born November 30, 1906, died October 1, 1988 in Hennepin County, mother's maiden name Laugen. You can order the MN Historical Society records by mail, just print out the order, I would recommend sending an extra dollar so for postage using an international money order.
jwiborg	This [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2679"]topic[/url] is quite relevant, so people don't look for information you already know... [:)] Jan Peter
Nowali	Wow, so much info, thanks!! I'm searching for my relatives in USA, yes. So I’m trying to find out everything I can about them, but I haven’t had so much luck... Elenus is my father’s uncle. I know he had a son called Gotred, but is his name Fred instead then? I haven’t been able to find anyone with the name Gotred in death records. Again, thank you!!!
Jo Anne Sadler	That is why people are supposed to read the Posting Guidelines and continue in the same posting so people like me don't have and look up a bunch of unnecessary information, it would have been nice to have been connected to the prior posting.
Nowali	Sorry about that, but I didn’t expect anyone to do anything else but check out the link that I posted...
