Anoka County Death Index

Anoka County History Center has extensive obituary files from 1869 to the present.  This is a start to a master index of all the Obituary files.  If you would like copies of the obituaries please contact us at acgsmn@yahoo.com  or come to the History Center and we will help you to find them.

The obituaries are in 3 different formats depending on the years that they were collected.

1869-1974 are indexed in BINDERS. The master index lists the dates of the binder and the page number within that range. They are usually together by decade.  Some binders have a copy of the obituary and some are only references to newspapers that are available on microfilm at the history center.

1975 - present  are on index cards in alphabetical order in a CARD FILE or copied into a 3 ring binder by year.

Oversized obituaries are filed in MANUSCRIPT FILE by folder (A, B, C, D) and page number
