Yes, Ramsey Co. History Center. Give them a call and they will let you know what they have available. It only consists of a small room. If memory serves me correctly.............city directories is what they have. Judy

Is [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) talking about the old Federal Court House across Rice Park from the St. Paul Public Library Building? Does that building house the Ramsey County Historical Society? Joanne Wright ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

I don't recall the exact information, probably BMD, that's what I'm always searching for. I do recall that there wasn't much they had except for some city directories. Judy

I'm drawing a blank. What is FHL? Joanne ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Several years ago I Iooked at very old large ledger books at the Federal Court Bldg. on Rice Park, fifth street. I had to make an appointment and a person stayed in the room with me, but let me do the looking.

Gaye asks about finding record of a St Paul birth from 1882. I had a similar problem with my mother's mother's family who were born about the same time. Eventually I went back to St Paul and found an office downtown where you could look at some old ledger books containing births from that time. It has been several years now, and unfortunately I forget the name of the office. I want to say it was on Kellogg. Anyway, the old ledgers listed the parents' names and gave dates of birth, but not always the name of the child. These were very early records, but can be helpful if you know the date of birth. Other than that, you might look for church records if you know the correct church. Bart in Virginia

Good evening listers. Trying to find CC. Louise Graven seems to have attended that school in 1884-86. Appreciate any feedback on this issue. Thanks for the hint about Sussman photographers. Tor in Nwy. Hilsen(nwgn for Best regards, greetings) Tor Graven +47 918 54 158 "[email protected]"

Your query is now posted at www.parkbooks.com/MnGenWeb/see_quer.html You can check the free birth and death indexes on the Minnesota Historical Society website, if you haven't already. Their home page is at <www.mnhs.org/> and both of them have links there. Thanks for including the specific dates and places within the county -- that should help others with information on this family easily connect to your line.

Hello list, Have several questions that perhaps someone can clarify, and/ or offer some guidance. My names of interest are James MacLeod b. abt 1870, d. 7/15/1912 in Hennepin Co.

Hello List, Recent research has included James Allen MacLeod, architect of The Lake County Courthouse back in 1906. James was born abt. 1870 and died in Hennepin County on 7/15/1912. Considering the many MacLeod's whom based on today's searches, still live in Minnesota, I am curious to know if there is anyone whom perhaps connects with the MacLeod family of this young man. Am interested in hearing from any MacLeod researchers. Will share all info I have in exchange for same.
