When I heard Minnesota described as a “meaty” state for genealogy research, I couldn’t resist asking local expert Paula Stuart-Warren for sneak peeks at what she’ll cover in our upcoming Minnesota Genealogy Crash Course webinar.
Your ancestor wasn’t a U.S. citizen in 1918? There might be a two-page Minnesota record with his her name, date and place of birth, residence, occupation, names of children and relatives, arrival in the United States and more. And it’s indexed.
How many avenues are there to locate a birth, death or marriage record? We’ll count the multiple ways.
Military service from Minnesota? You’ll learn about the state’s special questionnaires and bonus applications for the 19th and 20th century.
Need a wedding story, business ad, obituary, or other newspaper item? Learn the best place to obtain these.
