Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota
NEW! MN Genealogical Society Pictures.
These pictures were taken by Ray Kleinow to help SGSM members and any others wishing to see different views of the new MGS location at 1185 Concord Street North, South St. Paul, MN.
You may copy and use in newsletters, etc. if such use furthers the goals of MGS. They were taken on 15 November 2007 just after the move into the facility, so some things are not setup yet.
