I have family in Minn which are related to my mom her last name was Belisle?

Question

does anyone know any of them and can converse?

Answer 1

the odds of finding your relatives here are very slim. But, we can tell you HOW to find them. One source is the social security death index (look at www.rootsweb.com click on searches). I find 40 persons shown.. the Minn. folks seem to be clustered in or near Minneapolis/ St Paul. I would assume that your grandparents are likely to be found here, and maybe uncles? using the dates, you can find when they died, and zoom in to track obituaries. Those would include survivor names.
Another source for live persons is www.peoplefinder.com or www.zabasearch.com. I use both and 'flip' between them for relative names and addresses.
And there is a section at genforum
http://genforum.genealogy.com/belisle/
Glancing through there, I am not surprised to see clues that your ancestry is French Canadian (like many settlers in St Paul/ Minneapolis).
