Meet the Dalby Database!

  

"Some people may think they have a crazy hobby, but one that has made them many new friends. John suffered a heart attack in 1981. Was unable to return to work. While recovering his cousin called and ask for some family history information. So he got interested in this and joined the Rice County Genealogy Society.  This lead to indexing history books, plats, and newspaper articles. Recording church records, marriages, birth, Civil War veterans and city directories of Rice County. 

We acknowledge and thank the Minnesota Genealogical Society for the data they have allowed us to use.      

New data is entered and updated daily."
