About Darrell Schulte

I was born in March of 1972 and have lived in Minnesota most of my life. I spent four years of that time attending St. John's University. It was during that time that I really started my genealogical pursuits. It couldn't be helped -- when you live on a floor and you have cousins as hallmates. I'd flip through the school directory and names would leap out at me (my dad has been doing genealogy for many years, so I knew the names). It was staggering to see how many relatives or familiar Stearns names there were! In addition to that, my Stearns connections didn't stop at students, I had a great many folks within the Order of St. Benedict. Needless to say, I was impressed enough to want to know more about my relatives and their lives in Stearns County. I am currently married and have two kids. Volunteer Info Generally, I email my findings to people who request them. If the results are great in number, I'd ask that you be more specific in your request.
