Faribault County needs volunteers to help look up genealogical information. If you have any reference material on Faribault County - public records, items from your own family files, or materials published before 1921 (copyrights expired) - and are willing to do limited lookups for others, please email me (Kathy Hines) so I can list your name and your reference material on this page.
