Description of Major Categories
The What's New Page (this page) keeps you up-to-date on the recent changes to the Houston County, MN GenWeb page. As improvements in the content occurs, they will be highlighted here. This page is expected to be updated about once each month.
The Townships Page contains a history of the township, along with reference information for specific churches, cemeteries, libraries, etc. which are found in the township.
The Boards
Page
is renamed to Query Boards
Page and it contains links to each of the USGenWeb boards for queries, pensions,
wills, deeds, bibles, etc. The boards allow you to queries other
genealogists for additional information about your families as well as posting
information you have found in your research to share with others. I have
found that sharing information I have is an effective way of connecting with
other researchers. Please take a minute to post one item (obituary, deed
source, etc) to the boards every time you visit. The more robust this
information gets, the more valuable this site will be.
The Lookups
Page is still being developed, but this will contain a list of
individuals who are willing to do limited look-ups for other researchers.
Please let me know what types of information you would prefer to be included
here.
The Valuable
Links Page contains three categories on on-line information related
to Houston County. The first group represents the common heritage found in
Houston County, the second represents on-line research links, and the third
contains a list of published Houston family genealogy and history information on
the internet.
The Source
contains a list of locations in Houston County which house source documents
useful for genealogy research. In addition, a sub-page provides a listing
of documents found to be very useful including Census listings, Birth &
Death records, etc.
