Minnesota, USA, Heiratsindex, 1849–1950

This database is an index extracted from more than 450,000 marriage records from Minnesota.

What’s in the Index

Volunteers extracted the details in this index from microfilmed copies of church, civil, family, and other records of Minnesota marriages. Note that the number of available records can vary widely by county, and this database does not necessarily represent a comprehensive set of marriage records for the state during this time.

Details in the index entries vary depending on the original record, but they may include

• name
• age
• marital status
• birth date
• birthplace
• race
• place of marriage
• date of marriage
• father’s name
• mother’s name
• grandparent
• spouse’s name, birth date, birthplace, race, age, previous spouse
• spouse’s grandparent
• previous spouse
• FHL film number

The FHL film number refers to a microfilm copy of the source held by the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Because this database includes details extracted from family records, researchers will want to confirm facts with original and primary sources.
