I have compiled batch nos. for Births, Marriages & CHRs. in MN. You can search by county, then by surname. (or leave surname field blank for ALL that film's extractions). These have been extracted from courthouse records & Church Records... I have put the sources on the link, and will tell you which books/films have been extracted. If it is not done, then you can order the film from a FHL for the incomplete years... (and NOT order the film that has been extracted and inserted into the IGI... Also, this is a great way to research your family's collateral lines and their kids...) here is my personal homepage URL... http://groups.msn.com/GENEALOGYGENERAL/index.msnw THEN, click on the State (on the sidebar) and click on the county of interest... happy hunting, bye dave. ps: please let me know if you find a bad link...also check on "What's New" to see what is done & what I am currently extracting....
