USGenWeb Archives

Minnesota Table of Contents 

Search USGenWeb Archives (Archives Search Engine) The Search Engine will help you to sort through the Archives for the Surnames you are interested in. At this time it only searches the Archive Files and may not have all the files at any given time since new files are included once a month or so to the Search Engine and we receive files and upload them all the time. We have been receiving many new files lately and we want to thank everyone for their interest and help.(To search only MNArchives use the Search Engine located lower on this page)

       Do you have records you would like to share with others? We are looking for volunteers to share their information and records they may have accumulated during their searches. These can be almost anything that would relate to Genealogy. Birth/Death/Marriage records, Obits, Census, etc. If you have submitted a file and you have not received notice that it has been uploaded or can not find it on the county's "Table of Contents" within two weeks of submission, please contact me. If it is from a publication/newspaper it could still be under copyright if it is dated after 1923. There is a page that may help you in determining what files are acceptable at: Time-To-Do
Contact Shirley for additional information on how to submit your information to be included in the USGenWeb Minnesota Archives. Also need volunteers to help transcribe submitted information. Thanks to all who have submitted and will be submitting records.

My Grandmother's Scrapbooks

scrpbook.htm To Whom It May Concern:  I decided Grandma must have had a long-term purpose in mind when she started putting her scrapbooks together, and I feel I have an obligation to share much of the information she collected through the years, which are stricly newspaper clippings, although in most cases, the newspaper source and/or date is missing, but we do have a general year in most cases. I would suspect that much of the information comes from the Hopkins, MN, Minneapolis, MN and Litchfield, MN newspapers.I will, whenever possible, include a newspaper name, date, and any other relevant information. The files created from the scrapbooks can be found in Hennepin County , Meeker County and Statewide Archives (under Newspapers) and all files can be found in Scrapbook TOC (link to the left coming soon).
This is dedicated to My Grandmother, Mabel Bessie EIDEM RUNSBERG.
