Extractions from the Minneota Mascot entries for marriages and obituaries:
- My name is Becky Davidson and I am doing research on the Icelanders that settled in the Lyon-Lincoln counties area by going through old copies of the Minneota Mascot year by year and extracting news tidbits about them.. Along the way I am finding information that may help other researchers, so I am extracting obits and marriages to post to the GenWeb site. I am also available to do look ups. I live near the Twin Cities and am a member of the Minnesota History Center, so have access to tons of material. I would like to see the two counties web sites become packed with good info for researchers. -- Becky Davidson, of Hammond, Wisconsin

The Minnesota GenWeb Project
-
In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized
the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a
single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases
would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked,
so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could
be located in the index. This lead to the US GENWEB of which Minnesota is
a part.
Volunteers are needed who are willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. If interested go to Minnesota Page or UsGenweb Page
Also look at the WorldGenWeb Page and the EuropeGenWeb Page.My name is Terry Koberstein and I am the person responsible for Lincoln County and Lyon County pages. If you would like to contribute your information (surnames/lookup sources) to this page, please let me know. I would like to see lots of volunteers to do lookups. I'll list you on my lookup page if you own resources and would be willing to help others via email or US mail.
