Whoops - I should have added that both resources are at the Minnesota Historical Society. And the death card information was copied and pasted from my web site.

Good morning Tom,

Unfortunately, no there is no index for that time period. Two records exist however. There is a death register, filmed by county, for 1899.

Cards (and occasionally other documents) containing information about deaths that occurred between 1900 and 1907 were transcribed from certified copies of death reports sent to the Minnesota Health Department by local officials and health officers. While not 100% complete, the information in the registers and on the cards can answer questions for genealogists looking for ancestors who died prior to 1908.

I've found both resources to be very helpful when there is no record at the county level.

Just another limb,

Laura

Is there a death index anywhere for Minneapolis for 1890 through 1905??

Does MNHS have one?

Thanks

Tom
