Welcome to Faribault County, Minnesota!

Be careful when researching southern Minnesota. The city of Faribault is in Rice County (not Faribault County)and the city of Blue Earth is in Faribault County (not Blue Earth County).

Birth Records, Index ONLY, 1870 to 1915.
These are indexes only, not the actual records.
Limit the individual names to 5 at a time.
I travel extensively, so please be patient with results.
