| At the Hennepin County and Minneapolis libraries, you can get access to Ancestry.com, a service you would normally have to subscribe to to utilize. At their site you can search electronically for census records, military records, government informaton and much more. Often it's as simple as entering a name and date range and can be very productive. In earlier years you would have to scan multiple reals of microfilm, hoping to find what you need. Now the "search" tools can take you right there! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
