"So, South Dakota, be it thine to lead;
   Thy smile to light affliction's dreary time,
While o'er the drifts you scatter wisdom's seed,
   And harvest glory in the season's prime."


---South Dakota Historical Collections, Vol. II, 1904

About the Project

What's New

Welcome to the South Dakota History and Genealogy Project

Hi and welcome to the South Dakota History and Genealogy Project!  We are a part of the the American Local History Network. We're so glad you stopped by.  Our goal is to be an entrance point for your research of your ancestors in South Dakota.  We encourage you to check out our "family" of county websites. We're seeking to provide the best resources to you. If you should have any questions in the area of your research, please contact the County Coordinator directly.   If you should have a specific question about The South Dakota History and Genealogy Project, please feel free to contact us.

This website was started by Virginia Cisewski and we thank her for her years of work and donating her work to the ALHN.  This state website is available for adoption, if you are interesting in being the State Coordinator, please Contact US.

You will want to begin your search by exploring the County Websites.  You may discover that one of the counties is in need of a coordinator.   If you are interested in adopting one of the counties, please contact us.

Each of the counties maintains a system for submitting queries.  In many cases you might not know which county your ancestor was from.  Please utilize our  General South Dakota Query Board only if you do not know the county of origin for your ancestors.

Search our website!

The South Dakota History and Genealogy Project is in need of volunteers to host county pages, query boards, provide look-up resources, transcribe data, etc...

If you might be interested in volunteering and joining our team, please contact us.
