Hi Dena
I did a search at
Ancestry.com and found several John Mikes. There is him
and Clarissa Wooseter listed on a GEDCOM file (Ancestry World Tree) posted
by d.l.forsythe(a)worldnet.att.net.
If John Mike lived in Bovey, this is probably his SSDI, because I know
Mountain is around Bovey, MN (My uncle lived in Bovey and is listed as
having died in Mountain. When we used to visit my uncle, his daughters would
take us to the "big city" of Virginia)
JOHN MIKE
SSN 468-01-4505 Residence: 55792 Virginia, Saint Louis, MN
Born 1 Jun 1893 Last Benefit:
Died Jul 1966 Issued: MN (Before 1951)
I wanted to check some more links, but
Ancestry.com keeps timing out on my
searches. If you have a subscription to
Ancestry.com, you should be able to
see those links too. I typed in John Mike on the search form, with MN in the
state field.

Subject: [MNGEN-L] My elusive John Mike
Hello,
My name is Dena & I have been doing my best to try to find my great
grandpa
John Mike. He said on his marriage application (he married my great
grandma Clarissa Wooster Oct. 16, 1908 in Pine City, Pine Co., Minn by the
justice of the peace) that he was born in Hungary & that he was 19, so I
figure he was born around 1889. John & Clarissa had 1 son, my grandpa Earl
Mike who was raised by her parents Thomas J. & Amanda Wooster in Sandstone,
Minn.
Acording to the 1910 census Clarissa Mike was living with her parents
&
she is listed as having one baby but his name is not on there. So, I look at
Ancestry.com's census to find my Wooster, Mike family on the 1920 census in
Sandstone, Minn. because that is where they lived & that is where Earl is
enumerated with Thomas Wooster, but I cannot find him.
I did find some other Mike families but they were from Germany.
I have even had the court house people see if they could find John Mike's
naturalization papers & divorce papers, but came up with nothing.
Clarissa remarried to Emil Tuenge in 1912.
Can anyone please help me????? I have been stuck on John Mike for over 20
years
& nobody seems to be looking for him but me. It seems like he just
walked off the face of the earth.
However, on my grandpa Earl's delayed birthcertificate it said
that John
Mike's residence was in Bovey, Itasca Co., Minn. BUT I cannot find him
there
either. The John Mike that was around there was from Syria.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for listening to my plight. Dena
