June's Updates - May had a TON as well, but I did not post them here.  You can see all of the years' updates so far by going to genealogytrails.com/sdak/ and scrolling down to the Update link.  

Every county  (I think?!) has been updated, most of them significantly.  Thanks to our dedicated hosts blitzing the state with data, and our wonderful Transcription Team, we've been able to put thousands of birth, death, and military records online, as well as a potpourri of other items.  

Enjoy!

Glad to see some more people coming to the SD group. 

Diane - where have you looked for her.  I gave a quick look at find-a-grave and didn't get a match.

Hi Diane,

It's perfectly appropriate to post your info here - hopefully someone will come along and have the information you need.

I'm trying to find where my great-great grandmother is buried in Hughes Co., SD. I hope it's appropriate for me to post this here...I'm new at posting on GenealogyWise (although I signed up quite a while back).

 

Cynthia (Pilgrim) Johns (wife of John Johns) died on 10 May 1883 in Pierre, Hughes county, South Dakota of measles and consumption. Unfortunately, I don't know where she was buried.

I'm hoping someone can help me find out where she is buried and if there is a newspaper obituary. Perhaps someone else is researching this line and has this information, or someone has access to cemetery or newspaper records.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Diane

For Tracy G. I have met some Strubles of Moody Co. wonder if they were yours. My dad was born in Moody Co.

Hi, all you SD folks. My SD lines are Campbell, Holland, Fader, Loiseau, McVey,
They were in Lake and Moody counties. Any connections to these?
