May 31,2007,Over the past years I have been the member of my family to track down our heritage. My family has a rich history. We have a line of Fargo's who are related to the Wells Fargo Bank. My grandmother was a member of the DAR and we have had family in most of the wars. However, my line for the Forman family is short. My great-great-great grandfather was born in Progue, Czechclovakia. If one has more information or would like a surmane index of who has come into my family please contact me. REQUEST PASSED ALONG TO THE SARGENT COUNTY MUSEUM BOARD.

October 26,2006,Hello I am looking for information someone might have about my grandfathers family. His name was George Merchant. I hardly know anything about him as he died before I was born. What I do know is that he was from (or lived) in Forman and married my grandmother who was a rural school teacher across the border in SD. They moved to Southern California and had a lemon grove there in the late 30's and early 40's. They raised a large family and had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My husband and I recently left California and moved to Rugby. I suppose ND was in my blood. Thank you Suzanne Johnson. WEBMASTER NOTE: request passed along to Sargent County Museum Board who found a small bit of information.

Jan 27,2006,I am very proud of my Forman heritage. I am suprised by all the people on your web page related to the founder. I know I am related. My mother is Julie Downing, her mother was Joan Forman, her brother was William Chandler Forman, her mother was Marie Forman-married to William Chandler Forman. I know a little about the town and the rock that was dedicated to my family. Although I don't live in Forman I am very sentimental towards the town my family built. I have seen my family tree and on the version I have seen there were none of the names featured in your guestbook. I am just wondering if those related to the founder of Forman could contact me so I can get more information about my family. I gave my e-mail address to the webmaster so it is available. Thank you.

Sept 01,2005,Hello to all. My sister and I will be visiting Forman Sept 29-30. Our mother Betty Jane Groettum was born in Forman. Her parents, Richard Alvin Groettum and Freda Christoffer were also born in the area and married there before coming to Minnesota in 1922 or so. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who knew members of the Chrisoffer, Groettum and Brandt families. Some other family names are John Christoffer, James and Anne Brandt, Boyd Groettum, Fred and Alice (Groettum) Presley, and Leonard Groettum. We are also distantly related to Holens who lived or are still living in the area.

Jan 20, 2004,I have happy memories of our several visits to Forman. I'm Faunce Dewey's husband. We first visited Forman together in 1965 for Christmas. We had a great time , but this native Californian nearly froze to death. But I got to meet Charlie and Vivian Dewey. Charlie was the most honest and upright person I have ever met. Our first born is his namesake: Charles Dewey Rand, born 07-04-64. I have often said that if I were Charlie's son, I would have becone a farmer. We are looking forward to the reunion this summer, we'll be there with bells on. I look forward to meeting all the contributors to the Forman Guest book. Faunce and I are both retired; she from nursing and I from lawyering. We've never been happier than now. Please note our ISP has changed, we have a new e-mail address.

Jan 10,2004, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting your site. For those interested in the founder..here is where he got his name. I am primarily a HAGERMAN researcher. Cornelius Hagerman, son of John Hagerman (UE) married Elizabeth Forman, daughter of James Foreman/Forman(UE) and Abigail Conklin. Elizabeth Forman's brother was James Forman who married Annis Skidmore Brown. Their son Cornelius Hagerman Forman founded Forman, ND. Both the Hagerman and Forman ancestors were in New Brunswick, Canada at the close of the American Revolution, and both were United Empire Loyalists (hence the UE designation). John Hagerman (UE), father of Cornelius Hagerman came from Dutches County NY and the surname was previously known as Hegeman (whose progenitor Adriaen Hegeman came from the Netherlands to Long Island NY about 1653. As I am not a descendent of a Forman, I haven't closely followed the surname Forman, other than to note that James Forman was Cornelius Hagerman Forman's father--Cornelius Hagerman Forman's mother was Annis Skidmore Brown and they were married April 8, 1819 in New Brunswick Canada. James Forman's father was also a James Forman/Foreman (UE) who married Abigail Conklin. From my notes it indicates that James Foreman/Forman (UE) came from Peeksill NY prior to the Revolution, but that is something that I didn't personally research..(fact or fiction?)

I grew up in Forman from ages 3 to 10 when we moved west to Oregon.  I still remember walking to the store in the snow with our Lab pulling the sled while my twin sister Alice walked along side.  I miss the close knit feeling we had with the other town people.  In all the places I have lived I have never found that feeling again.  I wish you all the best in the future and I hope that I will have the opportunity to visit soon. I would like to talk to anyone who would have graduated in 1989, who lived in Forman during the late 70's and early 80's.

My family is planning a family reunion in July of 2004 and I am going to visit Forman as part of our trip. I am so excited for my daughters to see the house I grew up in and to see the changes in the town. I don't know if anyone I grew up with still lives there. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or my family.

Your web site is a trip down memory lane.  It was exciting to see how you have grown over the past 20 years.  We lived in Forman from 1973-1982 and the kids still share memories of walking to the post office, library and Dyste's. It was a neat experience for them, growing up in rural america.  Best wishes on your future endeavors.

Dear sir.  I visited Forman this past summer and was impressed with the museum.  I did not know at the time that Forman had a new motel or I would have stayed there instead I stayed in Gwinner.  Rest assured the next time I visit Forman I will stay at your motel.
    My parents were both born in Forman and I have several cousins still living there.  I wish you luck in your street project, it is a big undertaking for a community such as Forman.     Sincerely yours . . .

Hi -
Just wanted to say how impressed we were with our stay at the Forman Inn & Suites this past Memorial Day weekend. We stayed there last year also and were afraid that some of the "newness" would have worn off with the passing of another year.... that was NOT the case! Sharon and her staff greeted us with the same warm hospitality and service that the they exhibited during the first year. The room decor still is just as nice as new, and the place is very neat and tidy.

The cafe being open again was another treat! From the crowd there at meal times, I would say that it is sure something the community supports.

We also were impressed with the nice supper club in Oakes - the food was great and very generous in portion. I don't remember the name of the place, but I understood the prior location burned down and
this was a relocation to the main street.

Keep up the good work, Forman! We look forward to our next visit.

Hello Forman, Another Crandall checking in....#2 son of Chuck & Dorothy (Wahl) Crandall
and grandson of Gus & Hilda Wahl and nephew of Lois & Tiny Crandall.  I
spent many of my youthful summer vacations in Forman, playing baseball,
visiting the first Dairy Queen, going to the movies (if you went one night
you got in the second night free) and enjoying the hardware store where my
Grandpa Gus worked for so many years.  I even remember visiting the Sargent
County Record where they still had the old line-o-type machines to set the
newspaper (which  announced our arrival to the entire county).  My we have
all come a long way from those days.  Enjoyed the site and hope to visit
Forman again in the future.

Hello,  Col. Forman was my great, great grandfather.  My father's name was Ray Forman.  I was in Forman in 1984 for the town centennial so am glad to see it is thriving and growing.  Just discovered the town is on the internet.

Interesting website which I just discovered.  I've never heard of Forman, ND but would love to learn more about how it was named.  Is your goal to enter a 'Forman' surname depository for all to use?

I've been searching my FORMAN family for 30+ years starting in Tompkins County (Ithaca) New York.  I'm searching for the parents or descendents of three siblings all born there:  CHARLOTTE FORMAN (born 1815), DAVID SMITH FORMAN (born 1818) and WILLIAM HENRY FORMAN (born 1822).

David and his brother William received part of their early education in Ithaca and part in and around New Orleans, LA.  They both became professional Tailors and opened their own shop in Columbus, Ohio which was operational throughout the 1840's.  David Smith Forman moved to Missouri and William Henry Forman moved to Keokuk, Iowa.  Their sister Charlotte Forman married Jonas WHITNEY of New Hampshire and they moved around the State of New York, Illinois and ultimately settled in Jefferson County Missouri and St. Louis prior to their deaths.  Any information greatly appreciated.

Would love to email anyone with information on these families.  I have much more data available on their respective children and their families.

How about a feature on the Sargent County museum.  I have heard it is great.  I am planning a trip to see it this summer if time permits.  Thanks, John Cady.  (FHS class of 1951)

My father was Ray Himebaugh Forman, grandson of Cornelius.  I just got a computer and became aware of this site.  I am so pleased. Thank You.
