Minnesota Cemetery Inscription Index, Select Counties

Since it was granted statehood in 1858, Minnesota has been home to many people of differing cultural backgrounds and religious sympathies. This database reveals a wealth of information about these state residents. It is an index of cemeteries in Blue Earth, Carver, Dakota, Dodge, Goodhue, Hennepin, Le Sueur, McLeod, Olmsted, Rice, Scott, Sibley, Steele, and Waseca counties and also in the cities of St. Paul and Winnebago Minnesota; and Beloit, Illinois. It contains the names of nearly 600,000 persons. Researchers will find birth date, death date, name of cemetery and, in some cases, the closest living relative. With such a large amount of information compiled by John Dalby, this is a valuable addition to the Ancestry.com online library.
