In searching for my name I found myself listed once, but the funniest thing was seeing other Darla D.'s with similar last names such as Laib, Love, Lovey, who reside in SD as well. My listing was for my previous address in ND.
I also searched my husband and his father and found both several times, especially my father in law. My husband's listing was from Public School records, while his father's were from US census and Veterans Gravesites.
I searched my paternal grandmother to discover she settled in Minnesota sometime around 1876! I didn't realize that! She was also part of the 1920 census.
My paternal grandfather I could only locate from Social Security Death.
Using South Dakota as the search term, I got thousands of hits! It was noted that I hadn't included a name, so with my father's name I found Yearbook photos of him.
How cool to find your father's yearbook pics! I have found surprising tidbits about my ancestors, too. Thanks for the report, dlueb. How will your patrons use this?
