Deep Roots in Marriage of Linnea Mueller and Trevor Huinker
Linnea and Trevor were married on Sunday, September 4, 2011 in St. Paul. Their roots go deeply into the worlds of Minnesota and Iowa. Linnea is a Saami-American, of the line of Nils Paul (N.P.) and Amanda (Norum) Xavier who came to the U.S. in 1873. Her great-grandfather, Rev. Karl Xavier, attended Luther College in Decorah, as did both Linnea and Trevor. So, Trevor with his Dutch background has welcomed our many-branched family into the Huinker family and we are honored. More soon to be edited into this post, but for now, congratulations all around, to Linnea and Trevor!
This blog is an open, welcoming forum for Extended Xavier Family history, in context of the Saami-North American experience. The blog will post information, photos and other items, will accept submissions, and also will assist followers to publish elsewhere. We encourage lively, yet thorough, writing. We will use this focused microhistory project to gain insight into the larger picture of our world, right up to our current times. We hope contributors and readers alike learn and have fun!
