Two new websites have been added to the "Online Families" page on the Hennepin County site. CARR, DUVAL, HANLEY, LEDUC & MCDONALD. "Carr & Plo(e)ger Families of Chicago, Illinois and Related Lines. Information about those lines can be found in the Genealogy Reports of Daisy Madora LeDuc and Jesse Madden Carr found on the above website. Descendants of Ole Anderson Aasve and Christiana Ovedia Rygg of Norway, Minnesota, Kansas and Oregon. Some of the descendants lived in Hennepin County. Jan Everly Williams. If you have a web page that includes ancestors who lived in Hennepin County, send me the URL, with a brief description of the contents of your site and the surnames you're researching and I'll post them on the "Online Families" Page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnhennep/online.htm Also, please feel free to send in biographies--and a picture of your Hennepin County Ancestors for the "Hennepin Biography Project" http://hennbios.tripod.com/index.htm . Photographs for the "Unidentified Photos" page http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnhennep/unident.htm and the "Lost and Found Treasures" page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnhennep/wanted.htm Here are some ways you can help as well if you have resources and time to help others: SUBMIT RECORDS TO THE ARCHIVES. Transcribe public records - census, plats, cemeteries, land deeds, births and deaths, marriages, voters' lists, post office locations - any public record that will help genealogists find their ancestors, even if the record is for a small area or short time period. Everything helps. Contact the county or state coordinator if you have data for the archives. OFFER TO DO LOOKUPS. Do you have an old plat book, a church or town history, or anything similar on the history of an area and its people? Can you look up records at your county courthouse or historical society? Contact the coordinator of the county for which you have reference material and offer to do lookups for other researchers. Please see the USGenWeb Project's Official Copyright Policy regarding copyrights and lookups. POST QUERIES. Someone may be looking for the information you have as well as having the information you need. SUBMIT YOUR SURNAMES. This is another way for people to find you and share family records. Visit the county web sites where your ancestors lived and submit your surnames to the county coordinator. Please e-mail if you can contribute or help out in any way. Thanks!
