They may include the decedent’s date of death, names of his or her spouse, children, parents, siblings, in-laws, etc. See Minnesota Probate Records for additional information.

Vital Records consist of births, adoptions, marriages, divorces, and deaths recorded on registers, certificates, and documents.
