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:

Hemming/Henning
The Carver County Historical Society is grateful to Southwest Newspapers for their generous financial support of the newspaper indexing project.
