Southern Minnesota genealogy research? Do you know about the Dalby Database?

Indexes, transcripts, and added knowledge are great to find in our family history endeavors. In Minnesota, we have a unique collection that fits that sentence. Do you know about the Dalby Database? Many years ago I discovered this as I was working on my Faribault, Rice County, Minnesota Cooks. My Great Grandfather, John Thomas Cook, was born there to his Irish immigrant parents. His father James had a brother, Andrew, who was also a plasterer in Faribault. My James eventually moved his large family to Saint Paul. This bit of history about the databases is from the authors who have expanded it far beyond Rice County into surrounding southern Minnesota. Obituaries, births, deaths, censuses, city directories, histories, and more are included. Check it out for yourself at http://www.dalbydata.com/user.php?action=history
