On This Date in Minnesota History: July 3

July 3, 1907 – “The land opening [in Duluth on this date] was a tame affair. Only twenty applicants were in line for homesteads on the Fond du Lac reservation. Anton Jackeri, who secured the first homestead, had been waiting in line for three weeks.”

; “Few File on Land”; July 5, 1907; p. 3.

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.

                                                         


Discover your roots, and watch the branches of your family tree begin to grow.
