Lesson 9
Ancestry Library search brought up my last 3 addresses and my current address. It does have the incorrect spelling of my current street address. I was unable to bring up my marriage license. It brought up a lot of people with my same name at a lot of other states but not SD. I even did an exact name search and it still could not bring up my marriage license.
Heritage Quest search was on the Dakota Territories. I found a book titled the History of Dakota Territory. "First White Settlements on the Missouri Slope." It takes place in the City of Yankton in SD. An Indian chief referred as "A Man that was struck by Ree," and states the name William Penn Lyman. This book had detailed information and I just read very little.
Interesting information. I tried searching about the South Dakota School for the Deaf but couldn't get any information to come up. I have never used Heritage Quest before am glad I was able to try using it.
Sandborn Maps I looked up Sioux Falls. The map I brought up was Sioux Falls November 1911. I saw the SD School for the Deaf Mute and it was on N. Asylum Ave. The words "deaf mute," and "asylum" are not words I would use today. The maps were OK! The map views are small, but can be "zoomed" into. It is a nice resource. It is not at all like google maps!
Very interesting discoveries in the genealogy resources! Your search and discovery in Sanborn really shows how language changes and what is considered acceptable changes.
