-- from the Familysearch.org file: Minnesota Death Certificate Index 1904-2001. This database indexes the death cards from 1904 to 1907 and the death certificates from 1908 to 2001. Do not use the reference numbers listed in the "Minnesota Deaths and Burials, 1835-1990" as certificate numbers. They may not correspond to any other index. They are reference numbers used in processing the names for this index and as such usually do not reflect an actual certificate number.

Conclusion: 23 Dec 2013 - given the limited information, I have not included Leonard as a son of Hans Johnsen Grue; however, this is quite possible. See "to do list" for Martin Leonard Grue / Knutson
