Greetings from Kellogg, Idaho
Waldemar Mellang and Caroline Halvorson are also my great grandparents.My grandmother, Esther Dorothea Mellang Gilseth Smith was their oldest daughter. She raised my 3 sisters and my brother and me after the death of our mother at age 33. Esther died in 1992 and her sister, Helen Gilseth Loudenslager lives in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Esther had a daughter Shirley and a daughter Ruby (my mother)both who have died.Her son Howard Gilseth (my uncle) is living in Coeur d'Alene.
My brother, Bill Smith, as a youngster, would go to North Dakota every summer and spend time with relatives on their farm. I would so much appreciate receiving any information you could share.After the death of my grandmother I failed to keep in touch with the many relatives she corresponded with.
