Ancestory Library

The Ancestory Library offers great resource for those interested in finding information about their ancestors. Many legal documents are available such as census, military enlistments, death certificates, and more. I was able to find one of my grandparents and great grandparents listed in a census. It was neat to see their names and occupation listed.

Under Photos and Maps, I searched "South Dakota" and found many links including Sioux Falls College yearbook dating 1933 and a historical atlas which tells about when South Dakota became a state. Looking up Photos and Maps could greatly enhance a lesson or presentation.

  1. Using photos & maps from here could greatly enhance a lesson or presentation, LitGarden. Thanks for the idea! How might your students use this?
