Dear family members,

Dianne is working furiously on expanded MAJOR genealogy updates and additions which include old family photographs.

You can identify the latest updates as they have a date next to them.

Though I have a significant collection of these old photos we are looking for many that you may have the only copy of. If you do, please scan (high resolution) & email them or ship/mail them to me so that I can do the scanning.  Please carefully package anything you send so that they will arrive safely.  I'll return your pictures very very promptly. 

Many of these files need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Newspaper articles from 1860 thru 1940

Allan Garon and Karen Entous have created a searchable collection of nearly 1000 newspaper articles about Jews on the Iron Range, Duluth, Superior and elsewhere in northern Minnesota.

Although it does not say so, the newspaper collection includes all Jews and is not limited to the Garon family.

Nanci and Allan Garon's Family Website is extensive and contains much about the branches of our family from the Iron Range.
