We are proud to be a part of the USGenWeb project, which is an effort to organize genealogical materials on the Internet. Our goal is to provide a web site specializing in genealogy in Minnesota with an emphasis on the county level. Our project's success is only possible through the support of volunteers.

My name is John Schulte I recently adopted Wadena County. I'd like to thank Jan Sedore for her tireless service for Wadena County from approximately 2017 to resent years.

It is best to also check records in surrounding counties for your ancestors. Some of the reasons are: New counties divided out of old larger counties as the population grew. Many of Wadena County residents traveled to other counties for business and legal matters. Some records are there because they had family in that county and when they visited they stayed for long periods due to transportation, or a major life event would take place such as births, deaths, marriages. Another reason is a family lived on the edge of Wadena County and were closer to a larger town in the next county, and went there to register a vital event. Wadena County is bordered by the following five (5) counties:
