Hi, can anyone with access to the Rowberg files or other obituary records help with obituaries for any of the following persons?

Wife Maria/Mary Christianson (Johnson), b. 1853 in Norway, d. 28 June 1935, Lincoln co, MN
Son George Christianson, b. 1886?, Lincoln co MN, d. 1924 Mille Lacs co, MN
Other children - death dates unknown:
Annie, b. 1877 Norway
Bertha, b. 1883, Chicago (?)
Alfred A, b. ca. 1886 Lincoln co
Minnie , b. ca. 1890, Lincoln co
Peter A, b. ca. 1892, Lincoln co
Rose, b. ca. 1892, Lincoln co
Andrew & family emigrated from Norway 1879 to Chicago, moevd 1885 to Hansonville, MN, and from there around 1910 to Greenbush, Mille Lacs co. MN. At least the three youngest children plus George followed him there, according to census records. |

Hi,
Which "Nes, Norway" were these folks from? I can do Rowberg.
You might want to look at this newspaper site as they have several small town Minnesota newspapers online, fully searchable and downloadable, including Bemidji Pioneer, Warren Sheaf and a paper from Princeton which is in Mille Lacs County. I'm not sure which dates are available for Princeton except there's nothing newer than 1922, but there might be something useful:

Here is address for more info from Andrew's death record from www.familysearch.org:

| Yep, I believe that's him; a quick browse using the newspaper archive link you sent me above (thanks for that, btw!) showed he underwent officer's training at Fort Snelling, so it's not unlikely he stayed in the Twin Cities area. |

Hi,
Rowberg had nothing for Andrew Christianson d 1925, George Christianson d. 1924, Alfred Christianson nor Peter Christianson. The women are usually not filed under their own names but the name of a close male relative like father if unmarried, husband, sons, sons- in- law, nephews etc.
Since you have exact dates of death for several of them, you might want to try the old-fashioned method of borrowing microfilm from the Minnesota Historical Society and read for obits from their local hometown paper. Since you're in Norway, researching them yourself may not be possible. You could try random acts of genealogical kindness to see if there's someone assigned to the area and if they have access to local papers and are willing to search for you.
You could also try the death and birth indexes at www.mnhs.org for exact dates of death and www.mncounty.com for marriage records.
Good Luck!
Jackie M.
