January
6, 1893 – “James J. Hill pushes his Great Northern line to the
Pacific Coast. The 1,816-mile track from St. Paul to Seattle completes the
railroad he later calls his ‘great adventure.’
The final spike was driven near Scenic, WA, on this date. By midsummer of 1893 Seattle and the East were linked by regular service.”

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.
