A request has come in on the Max website that
maybe some of you can help with. Nancy Holmberg Vaughn -
nancyandken@roadrunner.com - has written: "Hello, Max, ND! My
grandparents, Alfred & Matilda Holmberg immigrated from Sweden to Max in
1904. My dad and his 5 siblings were all born in Max and then moved to
Pennsylvania in the mid 1920's. I have been doing a little family research and
have hit lots of dead ends. I do have some pictures of the 'farming' Holmberg
family, all of which have now passed away. I do have a couple of my dad's
McLean County school attendance certificates and a somewhat tattered
Confirmation Certificate from Zion Lutheran Church dated 1922. I have a faint
copy of my dad's birth certificate, but I was wondering if there is any place I
can contact to get copies of birth certificates for his siblings. There is no
one left in the family to obtain this information from. I wish to document as
much as possible for my family. Thank you for any assistance you can provide!
Loved visiting your website to see where my dad grew up. Hopefully, can visit
you some day!!"
