Welcome to the Scott County, Minnesota Biography Project. My name is Christine Redel and I'm the site coordinator.
Surname Index US Biographies EMails LinksIn May of 1997, this project was organized by Jeff Murphy, using the established Kentucky Biographies Project as a model. State Coordinators were sought to set up their own state project. They were offered the system design and tools created for the Kentucky project. But were free to set up their project in any way they chose. Volunteers are needed to enter, edit, and archive the biographies for each project. If you would like to volunteer to coordinate a county please contact the Minnesota State Coordinator, Tina Hursh.
