Query Text:

I'm looking for a Finnish Matson/Mattson family in Pine Co., MN and probably their son's family in Stuttsman Co., ND. This is about my g-mother's uncle Alfred and his family. Alfred Matson/Mattson (both versions seen) was born in May 3, 1866 in Finland, immigrated in 1887 via Sweden to Duluth as per immigration records. He had 2 siblings staying in Isojoki, Finland, others immigrated to USA (Albertina Matson Knuus/Boston MA, Conrad Siltanen/Butte MT, Leander Siltanen/Fort Bragg CA, Hilda Siltoa Henry/Butte MT) and Sweden (Johan Matson Nupula). Cencus Records found: 1 - 1900 MN > Pine > Pine Lake > District 124: Matson Alfred 34/immigr. 1887, wife Lizzy 38/immigr. 1888 (b. 1862), Waino 9 (b. 1891 in WY), Julia 8 (b. 1892 in WY) and Hilda 1 (b. 1899 in MN) -- what/when/where in Wyoming ? Was it a state or a city ? I've heard there's a city of Wyoming in Minnesota. But the youngest was shown as born in Minnesota so why make older ones to Wyoming if it was city of Wyoming in Minnesota ? -- where/when married (married 8 yrs) ? -- Lizzy immigr. from Finland, where ? -- naturalization records ? -- birth certificates ? 2 - 1910 MN > Pine > Danforth > District 121: Matson Alfred 44, Alizabeth 48, Vainord 18, Mary J 16, Hilda A 11, Henry A 9 (b. in MN) and Mamie A 6 (b. in MN) -- more birth cert's ? -- Waino/Vainord and Mary J born in VT in this cencus ? WY or VT for real ? 3 - 1920 MN > Pine > Pine Lake > District 72: Mattson Alfred 53, Elisabeth 57, Hilda 20, Henry 18, Mamie 15 - 1920 ND > Stutsman > Jamestown Ward 4: Mattson Waino 28 (b. in WY, roamer) => would suit well ? -- is this same Waino in ND ? Born in WY... -- where is Mary J/Julia in 1920 cencus, married/died/moved ? -- natur. in 1902 in this cencus 4 - 1930 MN > Pine > Finlayson > District 19: Mattson Alfred 63, Elizabeth 68 -1930 ND > Stutsman > Jamestown > : Matson Waino 38, Margaret 31 (b. in WI, father from ?, mother from Russia), son Paula 10/12 months -- where other siblings ? -- Waino b. in WY in this cencus, correct ? -- Waino and Margaret married where & when, 35 & 27 years when married -- Paula is a girl's name, Paul a boy's name, was the baby a boy, only typo/mispelled ? 5 - MN DI Alfred Matson 25 Apr 1934 Does anybody know anything of these persons above ?
