Foster Twins from the Omemee area?:
 
Folks,
 
The other day Neola Mentioned the name Foster and Omemee. That triggered a memory in my mind. Do any of you remember the Foster Twins (girls) from the Omemee area? I never really knew them, but remember hearing a lot about these girls in my childhood days, but I don’t remember from where. Are these girls related or connected to any of the Dunseith folks? Neola told me their mothers name is Eileen and that these girls were close friends of her cousin Lois Christianson Roland. I knew Lois in my growing up days, but I don’t think the connection of my memory of these girls was thru her. Connie Halvorson, you and Lois are cousins too. Do you know anything about these Foster girls?

Hi Gary,

A friend of mine from Fargo sent me this video, set to music written by local Fargo musicians. I thought some of your readers might enjoy these scenes of the flooding and neighbors working together, along with the music. Just click on the link to see the video. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! Trish

Richard….Gary, I am anxious to talk to you too…..man we have alot
of cousins! Diane Larson Sjol

Dick,
You remember EVERYTHING! I love reading your stories…I could tell a
few about Debbie Morinvile and Dennis Dion…I remember it was an
“I’ll show you mineif you show me yours” when we were about in the
first grade…we were down in Dennis’ basement, Debbie, Dennis, Duane
and Bev and I…well the little boys kept saying…”I’ll show you mine
if you show me yours…..” We finally gave in…took less than a
second for a quick flash…truthfully, I don’t remember seeing
anything too excting…one of us screamed that we saw Sister Rose
looking through the basement window and we all went flying, hiding
under the stairs about to wet our pants with fear. We knew we were
doomed to hell. When we went upstairs and managed to go outside, we
saw that no one was around…still we never mentioned it again and
went to confession every Saturday….scarred us for life…haha.

Allen Richard….
Ever been to the Richard house in Thorne, ND with the round barn…?
That barn was amazing… Cheryl, refresh my memory….which one of the
Richards lived there? Whenever I was delivering babies at the
hospital, if someone said they were from Thorne, I could usually trace
them back to a relative of ours….those Richards and
Bouchers…..sure got around. lol

PS..Hey Cheryl, my dear sister…you must have been there too..can’t
imagine having that much fun without you.

 

Updated/Corrected Richard family tree sketch:

I have made all the corrections that you folks have provided to this sketch. As I mentioned before, this sketch only goes thru the 4th generation of the Hycinthe/Aglae Richard family. It’s a simple but busy little chart that shows where each of the Richard family members fall into this family tree. I know for me it will be a useful tool for future reference. You Richard family folks are members of a very large family. I’ll bet that with today’s generation there are more than a thousand members of your family. Gary
