State of Minnesota Genealogy and History

Minnesota State Capitol, opened in 1905.

Welcome to Minnesota Genealogy Trails
my name is Mary Kay, your host for the beautiful state of Minnesota.
Genealogy Trails is a volunteer-based project.
We are dedicated to transcribing historical and genealogical data and placing it online for the FREE use of all researchers.

If you have family data for a Minnesota County, email me.
Biographies, birth and death records, obituaries,
newspaper stories and family history are all welcomed!

Want to Help?
If you are interested in hosting an available county site, please see the Volunteer Page for further information.
[A desire to transcribe data and knowledge of how to make a basic webpage are required.]

We regret that we do not have time to perform any personal research.
All data we come across is placed on these websites, so keep checking back!

Many thanks to former host Marla Zwakman for all her hard work on these sites.

Minnesota shares a Lake Superior water border with Michigan and Wisconsin on the northeast; the remainder of the eastern border is with Wisconsin. Iowa is to the south, North Dakota and South Dakota to the west, and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Manitoba to the north.
