• Minneapolis Public Library Home

Genealogy is the fastest growing hobby in the United States, and the Minneapolis Public Library is a great place to begin your research or to track down that elusive fact you need to complete some of your work.

Browse the Genealogy and Minnesota History collections, learn about our databases or check out a book. We offer a monthly class for beginners and a volunteer genealogist comes regularly to help you out.
