My Name is Martha and I am the Temporary County Coordinator.
I live on the Central Coast of California, so cannot do 'on the ground research in Le Sueur County.'

It is not the intent here to create indexes of B, M & D's for Le Sueur 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 and Historical Images portions of FS are a neglected resource.
So...
