Minnesota Counties: their status with regard to poorhouse records |

| NOTE: We do not mean to imply that poorhouse records are currently held by the organizations mentioned below. Instead, we are suggesting that contacting them with your requests for information may be a way to get answers to your poorhouse questions. If you and they will share with us what you learn...we can post more such information on this page and elsewhere on The Poorhouse Story website. PHL | |||
| Note: The resources listed below were pasted together from portions of pages found on your excellent GenWeb sites for Minnesota. Our thanks to them for having done so much work that it was easy to provide you with this information for this new purpose -- locating the rest of Minnesota's poorhouse records! If this print is too small, please go to to find the same contact information. PHL | |||
