State census records are hard to come by anywhere on line. Rootsweb and USGenWeb have some in their records if you search by state. Minnesota had state census in 1849, 1853, 1855, 1867, 1865, 1875, etc. There are printed indexes that can be purchased at several locations on-site. The best opportunity is to get to a large library or an LDS research center to access them. hope this helps. Mona Sarratt Knight
