Ancestry




 When I searced for my folks who were born in 1910 & 1914 I did not find any information and the same was with my grandmother.

I did search under Birth, Marriages & Death for my name and it came up with my mother's obituary.
It  listed a niece's name. Looking at another  name showing in another newspaper who had printed her obituray, listed an aunt's name. When you viewed record it went into detail of towns, perons names listed,etc. So if a person wanted to find a relative this would work.

I searched for myself and found an address that was not correct. I then searched for my husband and found his address not correct. I was curious about the wrong address information and  I am not sure I would utilize this program as for me. However, if a person was wanting to do research on their family I would direct
them to this site.

I searched for my birth in Sac City, Sac county of Iowa. It reported back that birth place of Sac City
was not found. Again, I believe if you  know what information you are looking for, the historical purposes, I think this site would be a great asset.

I could not find Edgemont listed so I selected Deadwood, SD. I picked the first map and ended up looking at all of them. It was fun to see and compare the maps.

  1. Thanks for your comments here, Katie. As you note, it helps to be a bit of a detective in using these resources, and while one search may not yield much, you can get clues to other items that add up to a bigger picture. Thanks for trying them out!
