EARLY SD BIRTH RECORDS
These vital records are fully searchable. Just a great resource!!

The South Dakota Bureau of Land Management Database was extracted from data generously provided by the Bureau of Land Management. It includes every homestead, mining and timber claim, as well as cash sales and Indian allotments from 1859 to 1995. Not included are parcels still owned by the U. S. Government, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Forest Service, and the National Park System. The database comprises over 600,000 individual land records--totaling over 65 MB of raw text data! The data is arranged by county, then surname of the land patent purchaser. Each file contains information on how to order the patent files from the National Archives. The BLM homestead site is back on-line Check it out . . . www.glorecords.blm.gov

About the South Dakota GenWeb Project
In June, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the SDGE NWEB (The South Dakota Genealogical Website Project). The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in South Dakota, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, these databases would be indexed and cross linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.

At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the websites. The person responsible for this county is Mary Buchholz. Contact her if you have any data to add to the Harding County Archives.
