On This Date in Minnesota History: May 24

May 24, 1951 – After only three weeks playing for the Minneapolis Millers, Willie Mays was called up by the Giants on this date. Mays found out he was being called up while at a movie theater in Sioux City, Iowa, after a message flashed up on the screen that said: "WILLIE MAYS CALL YOUR HOTEL.”

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.
