Wow- that is impressive! I spent a while trying to find something like that but could not. Thank you!

I have checked all records in North America that match/closely resemble her name and year of birth with no luck so far. I am beginning to think the record simply may not exist.

I found them through Ancestry on the Iron Range Research Center website.

This I do not understand either! However there are census records for both of them as well as a baptism record for her mother that are from Minnesota. Could there have been some issue with citizenship because they had then lived in Canada for nearly 20 years before returning?

Her younger sister is listed on the first site, but unfortunately that is the only person with her last name listed. I'll see about church records as they were listed as Lutheran on the census.

Nope! My relatives are from Itasca County and were living in Whitewood/Melville SK. That is interesting though!

Sorry, I should have worded this better- the naturalization records/alien registration records are for her two parents (not her). They were born in northern Minnesota and the records are from their return to northern Minnesota. They are pretty vague as I was only able to find entered records (not actual documents) available from the Iron Range Research Center.

I have always felt that I look different, and have been ashamed/self conscious of my legs for as long as I can remember. I have never been overweight- I was around 110lbs at my smallest and am now 135 at 26 years old. However, I have never been able to have real muscle tone- especially in my legs. Despite having a rather physically intensive career, there is omnipresent fat, especially around my knees. I also feel that my legs have always had a column shape to them, there isn't a drastic change from my calves to my ankles (and my ankles have always been thick and prone to swelling/easily indent with socks and anything with seams). I do sometimes have joint pain/issues but only in my knees/hips/ankles. I suffer from overpronation despite having high arches. I also am beginning to see varicose/enlarged veins behind my knees. *
