Frequently Asked Questions

Basic Questions

I am new to genealogy and would like to know where to get started in this County?

I would suggest that you explore "Resources". In this section you will also find many links to great sites for beginners. Also, just as important, you should post a query on the query board, join the email list and ask questions about your ancestors there. It has been my experience that the more places you ask the question, the better your chances of getting an answer.

I'm looking for a certain church/cemetery/school/etc., but I don't see it on your site.

The information shared on this website was either researched by the county coordinators or submitted by a contributor to this site. If you have more information to add, please send it to the .

How do I submit information to you?

You can type the information in an email to me or attach a document (.doc, .txt) to the email.

Specific People:

I am looking for information about XXX.

Unfortunately, if you don't see it on the site then I don't have any information about it. I do not live in this county, so am unable to check other resources. You can also give additional information here, just in case you do research for your county and do live in the county.

Can you send me a marriage license (or birth certificate, death certificate, court document) for my ancestor?

No, I'm sorry, but I do not have access to additional records. In most cases, you will need to check with the county courthouse in order to obtain original documents. You can find contact information in "Ordering".

Can you look some information up for me?

If it's not on the site then I don't have the resource. You try posting to the Wabasha County Message Board; it's possible someone has that resource available and will reply to your request. You could also contact local historical societies and see if they have the information you seek.
