My grandmothers mum was one of nine brothers and sisters Dorff which were born in a small soldiercottage in Småland, Sweden. Eight of them emigrated to Amerika between 1885 - 1891, while my grandmothers mum Hannah was staying in Sweden. We are some relatives here who haven´t know anything about what´s happened with our relatives in US. Now we have researched via Genealogy and received information that Carl Dorff, Gustaf Dorff, Fredrik Dorff, Albert Dorff, Otto Dorff, August Dorff, Emil Dorff and Sofia Dorff were settled down in Becker, Kittson and Clearwater. We have also found out that they got a lot of children as John, Henry, Selma, Anton, Alrick, Ada, Ebba, Harry, Levi, Violet, Beda......and they in their turn have also got children. If anybody have some more information about our relatives overthere it would be great to take part. //Catharina

You are probably going to have to start with a geneology website.Moderator cut: link removed

For the best search, using the information you provided, I'm unable to determine if you are describing the counties of Becker, Kittson, or Clearwater or the cities with the same name. Minnesota many times has counties with the same name as a city elsewhere in the state. For your seach let's break it down into two regions:
A. Northwestern Minnesota: search the following counties:
1. Kittson
2. Marshall
3. Pennington
4. Becker
5. Pope
6. Mahnomen
7. Roseau
8. Clearwater

B. Central Minnesota: near St Cloud-- this area has small municipalities named Becker and Clearwater. Sorry, could not find a historical Kittson.
1. Stearns
2. Benton
3. Wright
4. Sherburne
5. Mille Lacs

Central Minnesota has experienced a large degree of urbanization over the past twenty years. Many of those communities are becoming part of the Twin Cities-St Cloud metroplex. Finding farm families in this area might lead to many dead ends since many families have left the farms there.

Good luck in your search,

Thanks for your answer. Most of brothers and sisters Dorff were living in Lake Eunice Township, Beckers County.Minnesota. I just wonder if there are any Dorff living in Lake Eunice just now, which we can get in touch with.//Catharina
