The State Archives has unofficial death certificates (dated 1900, 1918-47) for Native Americans who either died in Minnesota and were enrolled or otherwise connected with any Indian tribal groups or bands, or died outside of Minnesota but were enrolled or otherwise connected with tribal groups or bands located in Minnesota. Information on the death certificate may include: full name of the deceased, full date and time of death, jurisdiction of death, sex, race, age, marital status, usual residence, occupation, date and place of birth, parents' names and places of birth, spouse's name, military service (if any) and Social Security number. The records may be in the form of a one-line entry on a register page, an individual card containing data on each death, or a certificate containing a great deal of information about the individual and his/her death. Many counties were not formed until after 1870, so deaths occurring in what became those counties may be recorded in parent counties. Deaths were recorded in Minnesota townships, villages, and cities from 1870-1953 in Minnesota's counties from 1870 to the present and at the state Department of Health from 1899 to the present.ĭeath records in Minnesota vary in form, content, and location depending on the time period and the jurisdiction in which the death was reported. Minnesota law required the recording of deaths beginning in 1870, but compliance and enforcement was sporadic during the early years.
