MINNESOTA Research Note for March

[Mary Bakeman]

In 1849, Alexander Ramsey, the first Territorial Governor for
Minnesota, said that newspapers are the day books of history. That
statement is still true today, not only for family historians, but
for those seeking context for the stories they want to tell.

Our research note this month discusses some ways that genealogists
can use them and where to find them. "Chronicling America," the
Library of Congress website, is featured, including an article about
skee [ski] jumping in Coleraine in 1910. (Coleraine is located on
the Iron Range in northern Minnesota.)
