The HESSELDAHL Family - Minnesota Pioneers
We have also just (February 2000) added information about the Peterson and Roessler families, both also early farm families in Faribault County and at least one railroad family in Martin County. These two families became related by marriage in the 1930s. The hotlinks are kept separate to help researchers stick to one family line. For this work, we are indebted to the late Rodney Hynes, who did much of the original research some 40 years ago, and to Joan Roessler, whose exhaustive research of the Roessler family was largely completed in the late 1990s.
