Hi! I am searching for any information about Michael Mullen, his wife Jessie and sons Fergus, Fred, George and Willie. Michael and family show on the 1880 Federal Census as living in Campbell, Wilken County. Michael may have had Mullem cousins living in the county also. Michael was born Sep 1848 in Cavan County, Ireland and Died 4 Mar 1937 in St. Paul. Michael was a Civil war vet. Michael traveled to WI with his father Bernard and his mother Bridget(Masterson) Mullen and lived in Rock County, WI. Sometime after the war he moved to Minn.

I'm looking for information on Ole SOLE and his wife Lena SOLE. They are believed to live near Fort Ambercrombie, but could have lived on the Minnesota side. Their daughter, Christina SOLE married Karl BERG and they lived in or around McCaulleyville and Kent. They may have also lived on the North Dakota side, or moved back and forth, as two children were born in Minnesota and then 2 children born in North Dakota and the 2 children born back in Minnesota. I'm trying to unravel the mystery. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
