Information contained in this database has been obtained from the files of the Carver County Historical Society Library; specifically, the newspaper index (in the future to include scrapbooks, family histories etc...). As with any information source, errors, inconsistencies, and accuracy in spelling and content are unavoidable. Therefore,
we suggest checking for alternate spellings when researching individual names or places. We have tried to include alternatives whenever possible.
Some examples of alternate spellings include:
Miller/Mueller
Bergman/Bergmann
Blocker/Plocher
Hemming/Henning
The Carver County Historical Society is grateful to Southwest Newspapers for their generous financial support of the newspaper indexing project.
