On This Date in Minnesota History: March 13

March 13, 1961 - The loon (Gavia immer) was designated as Minnesota’s State Bird by the Legislature on this date. The statute (Minnesota Statutes 1.145) also states that “a photograph of the loon shall be preserved in the Office of the Secretary of State.”

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching  genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including:
census records,  birth records,  death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records.  I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MHS records.  Both short searches and family history reports.
