The resources for tracing Minnesota ancestry are plentiful and the number of indexes, digitized records, and microform editions are growing constantly. The plentiful published indexes, guides, and histories are also important to your research. Many of these are accessible no matter where you live. Many Minnesota related records and publications have been, and continue to be, preserved. There is a wealth of information accessible via many methods and this session presents an overview of what is available for your search. You might be surprised at the access researchers have to records that are not accessible in other states. Learn about vital records, probate, military, naturalization, prison, state hospital, state census, and others in this webinar.
