I'm the descendant of said surnames and am inquiring about any scholarships that are available for those who are of such descent. I am attempting to continue attending college; however, it is very difficult as I am in debt and am unable to receive financial aid from FASFA. Also, if any of these names could be associated with the American Revolutionary War or Sons of Norway, that might help me obtain other scholarships. Sincerely, Austin.

I am looking for information regarding Leonard SAYJACK, my maternal great grandfather. He was a farm laborer for A. L. PETERSON (Rt. 1, Canby) during the WWI draft registration. Was married briefly to Anna C. OLSON (Canby), my great grandmother. Records are inconsistent, with draft registration claiming London, England as his birthplace, but the 1920 Census indicated "United States" (no specific state) as birthplace. Gifts and letters occasionally came to my grandmother from Chicago.
Searches of this surname come up with little (just the draft card and the Census). If anyone knows anything about him, or knows of someone of a similar name, please contact me. I would be most grateful.

SANDRA BESTLAND Mon Jul 20 16:41:18 2009
I am looking for information on H. M. BESTLAND. According to page 471 of the book "A History of Yellow Medicine County Minnesota 1872 - 1972," by NARVESTAD, H. M. was killed in WWI and remembered in the establishment of the ANDERSON-BESTLAND Post No. 127 of the American Legion in 1919.
Can you confirm the "H. M. BESTLAND" is Herbert BESTLAND who was born in 1899 and died in 1918? Also, H. M. BESTLAND's name is not engraved on the "Killed in Action" obelisk on the YMC Veterans' Memorial.
Michelle GATZ indicated that the fee for doing that would be $50. I would like to hiave this name added to the KIA obelisk. How do I go about doing this? Also, what can you tell me about the ANDERSON-BESTLAND Post No. 127? Is it still in existence? If not, when did it cease operation? Thank you for your help.
