Otter Tail County MNGenWeb

Thank you to Jan Sedore for her many years of service as the Otter Tail County Coordinator. My name is
Karen De Groote and I am the new county coordinator. My Thoennes family has deep roots in Otter Tail County and I hope to enrich this website with the help of others as well as my personal contributions.
Please join me in growing Otter Tail!

Otter Tail County Court House, Fergus Falls, Minnesota

We are proud to be a part of the USGenWeb project, which is an effort to organize genealogical materials on the Internet. Our goal is to provide a web site specializing in genealogy in Minnesota with an emphasis on the county level. Our project's success is only possible through the support of volunteers.

Take a look at Surrounding Counties

It is best to also check records in surrounding counties for your ancestors. Some of the reasons are: New counties divided out of old larger counties as the population grew. Many of Otter Tail County residents traveled to other counties for business and legal matters. Some records are there because they had family in that county and when they visited they stayed for long periods due to transportation, or a major life event would take place such as births, deaths, marriages. Another reason is a family lived on the edge of Otter Tail County and were closer to a larger town in the next county, and went there to register a vital event. Otter Tail County is bordered by the following eight (8) counties:

Becker	Clay	Douglas	Grant	Hubbard	Todd	Wadena	Wilkin
