Hello, my name is Martha and I will be your guide to resources for Hennepin County.

I do not live in Minnesota, but have roots deep in her soil. However, if I can,
I'll be happy to try and direct you to resources that might help you
locate that missing piece of your "Ancestral Pie"

We have several great volunteers on the Lookups Page that will are willing to do research or
lookup information in resources available to them.
There are also many contributed records on our pages.
Please take a look around, send me your feedback with any ideas and of course contributions.


Questions? Send 'em along- Martha
