hermin1, No problem. I will look and see what I can find. I spend a lot of time going through a lot of pages. There is so much wonderful information and people are so helpful.
I went to the Woodbury County Genealogical Society meeting and I believe it was your sister-in-law that I met there. They seem like a very nice bunch of people and so I joined their group. Hope to see you there sometime. She said you did a program on Native American Genealogy last year. Sorry I missed it.

Poncalady Really.... well, there are things I still dont know about you, Hermin1/mystery lady. Poncalady... I am very jealous. I would love to dig around in Woodbury County. I am trying to learn more about the Dakota that lived there pre and post uprising. Were there any of those bands or communities that participated in the uprising? in the 2005 Opinion of the court it says that the Mdewakanton were removed from Minnesota and Iowa and it resulted in them being dispursed in the Dakotas? Who was removed from there? |

Not sure who was in Woodbury County at the time. I do know that some of them drifted into the big city from Santee and Niobrara just from the information I heard through my mom and Grandma through the years. If you have anything you need looked up here at the Sioux City Journal archives, please do not hesitate to ask me. I am here to help as much as I can.

Reading through a book by Danny Liska called "The Ponca Curse" it seems that some of the people in the Niobrara and Santee area left after the passenger train and bus service was discontinued to these areas.
P.S. This book is a good resource as he has some genealogical Ponca and Sioux information. He doesn't have his sources all listed though and I did find at least one discrepancy. However, most of it matched with what I already had.

 tamara; some of them from Minnesota, and possibly Canada drifted to Woodbury County. I found a bunch of Trudells, in Sioux city in the 1880 Woodbury County census( log on to the Woodbury County Iowa GenWeb site. You might also try the Iowa GenWeb site and see what you can find re.history of some of the Counties I bellieve before the Minnesota Territory was carved out, that the whole region including Wisconsin and Michigan and part of North and South Dakota, and part of Nebraska was the Iowa Territory. On the "Bottoms" where I grew up, were some of theTrudells, mackeys, Buffalo Chiefs, Wabashaws, Thomases, and I amsure there were others from the Winnebago and Dakota Siouxs that lived there.,

Why in one of the opinions of the court does Lettow show that the Dakota were removed from Minnesota and Iowa, resulting in the dispursement to the Dakota's. This would make sense as Woodbury county is an area that is recognized in past treaties to be dakota territory. How was this area affected by the Removal Act and what does it say for those that were allowed to remain? Would those that were allowed to remain be considered "friendly sioux" in the same manner as the Minnesota Friendly Sioux? Tamara: that is a good question. I don't know the answer to it. One would have to look into the history of Woodbury County. You should check the woodbury county Iowa genWeb andsee what they have posted re. the history. |

poncalady: If you check our archives you may find a sectin on the bluestones. I did a search for John B.uestone and his family @2 years ago. I do recall that Ancestry.com had something on the order of a n obituary for Sam, I think.
One thing I still haven't been able to figure out is who is kate Bluestone that shows up on a 1900? Census with the St. Clouds or St. Clairs. if you can find the old postings for the Bluestones, you will seewhat i am talking about.

They have a lot of headstones on the Bluestone family, the Goodthunders and others. I did take pictures of some and once I get them downloaded and sorted, I can make them available to whomever wants them.

From the Morton, MN museum I got a few obituaries and I think the Louise Delores Bluestone Smith shown on the posted Bluestone family tree is not the Louise who is the mother of Winifred Smith because Louise Delores Bluestone, daughter of Walter and Rose Whipple Bluestone, was born in 1938. The obituary I found in Morton for Louise E. Bluestone Smith, who was born August 13 1910 to Harry and Ellen Bluestone states the she is survived by daughters Winifred and her husband Walter Freezor and Cecelia St. Pierre and a son James H. St Pierre. She was previously married to Albert St. Pierre. So these two Louise's cannot both be the mother of Winifred Freezor as was posted on an earlier Bluestone family tree. Any ideas or comments on this?

Loise Delores Bluestone born in 1938 is the daughter of Walter and Rose. She has never married.

Post by Pedro Oliveira on Aug 6, 2007 9:36:48 GMT -5
Dear all,
My name is Pedro Oliveira and I am looking for part of the Bluestone family with whom I lived back in 1982 in Belcourt (Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation) in North Dakota.
I see that there is a James Bluestone and I wonder if he is the son of Dixie Bluestone and borther of Rex and Marc Bluestone.
I am of Brazilian nationality and I was an AFS echange student and had one of my best year of my life living whith the Bluestone´s for a year.
If any one knows of this branch of the family and could inform me their contacts, I would really appreciate.
Warm regards to all,

How do we add our names to the Bluestone family tree? I am June Morgenstern's son. June is the daughter of Lillian Chandler. My mother's name is not under her mother's name, however her siblings names, Dorothy Jane, and Harvey are listed. We would like to add our names to the family tree. Thank you, Sincerely, Gregory F. Duc
