Genealogy's Star reports 1895 Minnesota State Census on Record Search Pilot

FamilySearch Record Search Pilot announced the publication of the 1895 Minnesota State Census. The records consist of an index with no images. The description indicates that microfilm copies of the original records are available at Family History Library and through the Family History Centers. The index is apparently complete.

State censuses were taken in Minnesota every ten years beginning in 1865 through 1905. The records have about the same level of reliability as any other census records. An index to these records has been previously available on Ancestry.com. A list of some of the other online locations with Minnesota Census records can be found at CensusFinder.com.
