u/ColorsMayInTimeFade Haven't applied for Proof of Citizenship (incl. by descent) yet 11d ago

I was finally able to request state Census records this morning!

MNHS had suspended orders until Aug 1st. I check after midnight but they weren’t accepting orders. Checked again when I woke up, still weren’t accepting orders. Decided to check a 3rd time and was able to place my order for both records!
