Comments: Nothing much to tell. I just noticed that the churches mentioned were in Walsh County, ND and my great and gg-grandparents died there. My great-grandfather emmigrated to Oakwood/Grafton, ND in 1886. I have seven brothers and sisters and half of us reside in Iowa. I would be very interested in any information about the Catholic churches or how to obtain records. The family surname was either LaCourse or Gelinas (French Canadian). Possibly Lachappelle or Robillard were also in the area.

Two Catholic churches have already been demolished in my town. We have been struggling to save these churches, most over 100 years old. What caught my attention was that fact the article was about Walsh County, ND. My great-grandparents and their parents lived in the Oakwood/Grafton area. I would be interested in any information about the Catholic Churches as they may hold keys to family history. My surname is LaCourse, but may also have Gelinas, LaChappelle, Pelland in the area. The family was French-Canadian.
