“The animal was donated to the zoo last November by a merchant seaman.
A 1909 law bars mongooses, and Fish and Wildlife Service officials said Mr. Magoo would have to be deported to India.
Udall said he had decided ‘that Mr. Magoo be granted nonpolitical asylum in the United States.’”

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including: census records, birth records, death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records. I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MHS records. Both short searches and family history reports.
