I've been publishing on-line research notes for Minnesota since 1994, and have been the Ramsey County MnGenWeb coordinator since the USGenWeb hit Minnesota. 2008 was Minnesota's 150th birthday, and the anniversary for the Civil War and the U.S.-Dakota Conflict of 1862 is soon approaching. (Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to President Lincoln, after war was declared.) A new state perhaps, but her citizens were heavily involved in the nation's history!
I'm finding that waiting for the monthly notes or just responding to Ramsey County questions takes care of a few of the things I'd like to share with family historians doing research on the Minnesota-area relatives. So, I'm going to try blogging. You can expect research hints, notices of new and old resources, upcoming meetings, and more. I hope you'll join me on this adventure.

Welcome!
Over the past years, I've published a set of research notes for Minnesota family historians on a monthly basis. That seems too narrow now, with so many events happening today. I hope you'll join me for this blog, which will include research information, new resources, upcoming meetings of interest, and more.
