Melodee, I'd like to think the Hennepin County GenWeb site is a useful site for local researchers, at least I have tried to make it so. You don't appear to be utilizing the site at all. I have the address to the Ft. Snelling National Cemetery under CEMETERIES on the Hennepin site, with the PHONE NUMBER as well. Had you checked there first you wouldn't have had to ask for the address on the list I have tried to post information on the Hennepin County GenWeb site for local records and resources, and many links to other helpful sites. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnhennep/ If you can't find help there, you can do a search on www.google.com It will bring up just about anything you're looking for. Before asking others to help you locate information you need to do the ground work first and at least make an attempt to locate it yourself. We all hit brick walls and the list is a great place to ask for suggestions or discuss our problem families, but as a researcher you need to do your own basic research and not rely on others to do it for you.
