Welcomes You
to this Genealogy Trails website
for Lake of the
Woods County!
This
County
website is Available for Adoption!
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.
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.]
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. We
are looking for biographies, birth and death records, obituaries,
newspaper stories, family history - the items YOU used to put together
your family trees.
We regret we cannot do personal research for you.
Lake
of the Woods County is located in the northern part of the state,
bordering Roseau, Beltrami and Koochiching Counties, Division No. 1 of
Manitoba and Kenora District of Ontario, Canada.
Lake of the Woods
County was organized on November 28, 1922 when a vote by area residents
separated the northern townships from Beltrami County. On January 1,
1923, the county officially began operations at its county seat in
Baudette.
