Lesson 9

Ancestry Library

When searching for myself I didnt find much.  I only found information saying were I was born and my father''s name.
Next I searched for my grandfather who passed away January 10, 2011.  I could believe the information I found on him.  I found his obituary, a website that showed his gravesite and a picture of him, his marriage certificate, census records from 1940 when he was 14,  and his addresses and phone numbers.
I was able to go to family tree and see all the information on one page.
I am totally amazed by my findings and a little freaked out that all this information is so easy to access.
When searching "South Dakota" I found alot of yearbook entries, but I also found family pictures and famous baseball players that came out of South Dakota.

 Heritage Quest

I found a book on my home town's history.  The book was dated 1861-1961.  It was very interesting to see what has changed.  

Sanborn Maps

I tried to search for my hometown, Rosholt, SD but their wasn't a map for it.  So I searched the next best thing my current town Volga, SD.  The most current map was 1925.  I did find the railroad tracks, which are is the same location today.
