[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] FEEFHS Conference info - Libraries in Twin Cities

[Nancy Gertner]

The Concordia Library in St. Paul has the "Germans to America" volumes 
containing information on immigrant ship passengers to America, along 
with many other more rare books, some of which might be in only two 
other U.S. libraries.

The Minnesota History Center in St. Paul has a library with microfilms 
of all newspapers published in Minnesota, including some foreign 
language publications, several in German, that also had distribution 
outside the state, but were published in Minnesota.  The earliest 
newspapers microfilmed are from 1849.

Data on birth and death certificates that have been indexed is 
available from the MHS website, where you can also search the library 
holdings:

The Minnesota History Center is currently open Tuesday evening until 8 
PM.  Daily admission is charged ($8 adults, $6 students & seniors) 
unless you are a member of Minnesota Historical Society, which will 
also give you a quarterly subscription to a fine publication.
