TIPS	One out-of-towner signed the Aitkin Age Newspaper guestbook and reconnected with several cousins she had not seen for over 25 years! Another reader hit the jackpot with her husband's family on the Rootsweb message boards and found someone who had researched the family tree all the way back to the 1600's in England! Married ladies, enter your maiden name as your middle name for more results in the search.

Aitkin County has a genealogy group of which you should be very proud. I have been a genealogist for 38 years and can tell you that the Aitkin site is one of the best in the world. It�s informative, easily navigable and fun. This is a dedicated group.
