I chose to become a member so I could add information and pictures to my family members memorials. It means so much to people searching for information on their genealogy to find names of other family members and even a photo or two.

My maiden name is Baumgart. My father was Vernon Baumgart. My grandfather was Herman Adolph Baumgart of Frazee, Minnesota. My great grandfather was Adolph Baumgart. I would love to find information about my great great grandparents. We are related to many of the Baumgarts in Becker, Ottertail, McLeod and Renville Counties.

My Mothers name was Lavina Peterson. However, the family name was really Jokela. An immigration officer changed the name of an ancestor when they migrated from Finland. Much of her family was originally in Ottertail County. Lavina was a niece to Selma Peterson and Lempi Raatama who had first been married to John Coulter. I would love to know a lot more about that side of the family.
