                                      Minnesota Veterans

The Minnesota Historical Society has launched an online Minnesota Veterans Grave Registration Index with information on more than 72,000 veterans' burials.

The information comes from US Veterans Affairs Dept reports compiled between 1930 and 1969. Veterans who died during those years account for most of the data, but the compilation includes a handful of listings as early as the War of 1812 and as late as 1975.

You can search on your relative's last name (including a Soundex option) or on his year of death, county of burial and conflict he served in. Results show the veteran's full name, death date, county of burial, and the war(s) in which he or she served.

The original report may have even more information: date and place of the veteran's birth, enlistment, discharge, death and burial....plus his address, serial number, rank, unit and next of kin. After obtaining your search results, you can click on "Add to Order" to request a copy for $8.

You can search it for free at: http://people.mnhs.org/vgri
