Dear Claudia, That Panoramic maps website is fabulous. Thank you. Sincerely, Katherine

Katherine, Glad you found the map site helpful. In case anyone missed the e-mail I sent around about the Panoramic maps, I have a link on the Hennepin County site too under the "History of Hennepin County" button -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnhennep/hennepin.htm Also, I just tonight added more links to another newly found site called "History of the Phillips neighborhood" in South Minneapolis. This site has the following resources: Database of Veterans buried at "Pioneer & Soldiers" Cemetery, also known as Layman's Cemetery. 1859-1860 City Directory for Minneapolis and St. Anthony Calendar-- Misc. newspaper articles from the Minneapolis newspaper for January, February and March of 1909. (I'm hoping more years will be added). The Calendar is extremely interesting to read as they contain obituaries, birth & marriage announcements, besides several ads and just general tidbits. Many resident's names and their addresses are listed. Here is one example from January 5, 1909. News article: Rather than hear disparaging remarks made about a girl friend, William Bliss [2202 Portland av S], 20 years old, was drawn into a fight with Martin and Edward Hausinger, brothers, at Washington and Plymouth avenues, Sunday night and badly used up. The Hausinger brothers have been arrested on a charge of assault and battery, and will be arraigned in police court Jan. 7. Mpls. Tribune, January 5, 1909 If you had family that lived in the Phillips neighborhood, or maybe lived there yourself at one time as I did, you'll find this site very interesting, and maybe even find a clue to your family. But, the 1859-1860 City Directory and the Veteran's database is a valuable source for anyone. Here's the direct link http://www.pnn.org/history/index.htm I've also placed a link on the Hennepin site as well. Enjoy!
