Vital Records ~ Family Search Resources ~ Obituaries

Basic Vital Records may be found on FS 'Collections', Catalog and Historical Image Sections
It is not the intent here to create indexes of B, M & D's for Carlton in general, but to give you, the visiting Researcher,
other options and thoughts about where to look for those elusive records.
Family Search is a great place to begin looking for Vital Records
But... the Catalog has quite a few resouces that will also help you with your research.

Here is a linked and searchable file for all of the Minnesota Resources on Family Search
