LESSON 9

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY RESOURCES

Discovery Exercise:

1. I wasn't able to find myself in Ancestry but I did find my great great grandfather after receiving some genealogy from my aunt.

2. I searched for my paternal grandfather and found him in the 1930 census.

3. In the search for South Dakota under the photos and maps tab I found 4308 pictures and 150 maps, atlases & gazetteers.

4. In Heritage Quest I searched for Belle Fourche and Seth Bullock and got some pretty interesting reading!

5. In Sanborn Maps I chose Belle Fourche, Sept. 1903. The Wide Awake Grocery Store was one of the few buildings to survive the fire of 1896 and is still standing today. Up until recently it was being used as Robb's Store but is now empty.
