Our goal is to
help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical
and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all
researchers.
This website
is available for adoption.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online
and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can
make it. If you are interested in joining our group by hosting one of
the available county websites, view our Volunteer Page for further information about us and then contact Kim.
[A desire to
transcribe data and knowledge of how to make a basic webpage is
required.]
All information you find on this site is submitted by people like you
and me, searching for their family roots. We welcome any information
you may wish to provide for the free research of others. So, dust off
those old scrapbooks you have in your attic, dig out those old
newspapers, or anything else you feel is of interest to this County,
and send them our way. We are looking for obituaries, newspaper
stories, biographies, Birth, Death and Marriage records, as well as
interesting tidbits from years gone past - the items YOU used to put
together your family trees. If you have information that you'd like to
share with us on the history of this county and its people, please send it to us and we'll make sure it gets posted online.

County Information
The county name derives
from the Dakota term translated as "where the buffalo fish come"
Kandiyohi County was
organized in 1858 with its county seat in Kandiyohi, which was then
called Kandiyohi Station, and was just a railroad stop.The original
county occupied only the southern half of its current area. Development
was slow, however, and in 1870 the state legislature called for
Monongalia County to merge with Kandiyohi and make one, larger county.
It took until November 21, 1871 to agree on a county seat, and the
centrally located Willmar was chosen.
