March
14-16, 1870 – “Blizzard struck northern Iowa and SW
Minnesota with up to 16 inches of snowfall.
First use of the term ‘blizzard’ (from boxing, meaning volley of
punches) by the Esterville, IA Vindacator
newspaper. The term blizzard was not used by the U.S. Signal Corps Weather
Service until 1876.”

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 MNHS records. Both short searches and family history reports available.
