(That's what forums are for!)
Minnesota is too big to have just one forum. This can be a handy jumping-off point for people interested in talking about all or part of the state. We already have forums for every county, which should all have links from here, like the one I've done above. I've copied the genealogical links on this page to the Minnesota page, and I've put this page in the county category. Best of luck with attracting discussion.
