I found a family indexed as John and Impy Wick Kinen with children Eural, Maryon, and Vernier. The ages match for the kids. Lots of bad writing and spelling on this census. I believe that the correct spelling for the surname is Wirkkunen. The MN birth index shows a girl named Fielar Marie Miriam Wirkkunen born 17 Dec 1921 in Wadena County.MJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13660478273110071495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-50571482677055474662016-07-20T07:26:24.314-05:002016-07-20T07:26:24.314-05:00There is an antique store near where I live that h...There is an antique store near where I live that has tons of old photos. They lost their lease and are closing at the end of the month. Nobody there is sure what the next move is, but I wonder where all those photos are going. Most of the ones I've seen are in really excellent condition too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
