I do not have any links to Minnesota, so I will instead highlight one resource from Minnesota.
The Minnesota Historical Society has a wonderful collection of research tools on it’s website.
They have search tools for:
- Birth Records
- Death Records
- State Census Records
- Veterans Grave Registry
They also have digital collections of newspapers and maps.
If you have a Minnesota relative, be sure to check out these resources.
