[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Cottonwood, MN -- GAILING

[Marnie Mccall]

Hi Cathy,
 
Do you have a lot of information from/about Cottonwood at that time?  I have been trying to determine when my grandmother's family moved to Cottonwood from Illinois, who their connections were (e.g., one of the witnesses at her baptism was a Schulz), etc.  
 
Happy to have you contact me direct, as these are German Germans, not Eastern European Germans (those are the other side of the family).
 
1905 Minnesota State Census, Posen township, Yellow Medicine,   
 
GAILING, Friedrich known as Fritz, age 38, born 1857, Germany
wife Eliza, age 31, born 1874, Ohio  
Izetta, age 13
Henry, age 12
Louie, age 8
Martha, age 6, born 1899
 
Another child, Hazel, lived less than 1 year, died January 1901
 
All these children were born in Brimfield, Peoria County, Illinois.
 
My grandmother, Edna Blanche Mathilde Gailing was born in Cottonwood in 1906.  We think the Mathilde was for the godmother, Mathilde Schulz.  Would be interested to know if there is a connection to the Schulz you mention.

PS  Yes Edmonton is in Alberta, but perhaps they came from Winnipeg.  You might also want to try the 1906 Prairie census (there were special censuses in 1906 and 1916 for Alberta, Sask, and Manitoba).
