The last ROTVIK child, Curtis, was born in Duluth MN on 3/23/1923, so the family moved from SD to MN between 1917 and 1923. Peter ROTVIK was born Peter JORGENSEN in Rotvik, Norway and took the name of his home village some time during his move from Norway to the United States. Any detailed information on this family and/or other Moody County families that were related or traveled with my grandparents, will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to find information on an ancestor who lived in South Dakota around the time of Silver Cloud, Sitting Bull, etc. His name was George KNICKERBOCKER, and his wife's names was Nellie "Sarah" Jones. They had a son named Harry Knickerbocker. According to family oral history, George Knickerbocker was a direct line descendent of Johanas (sp.?) Knickerbocker and he was the Colonel of South Dakota for some years, which was somewhat like the office of governor in those days. Is there any record of his, or their, existence in your historical files? Thank you for your help in this matter. Sincerely, Lisa Katter.

A Mrs. Dolly Keehn gave the personal information to the funeral director when John died. Who is Mrs. Keehn and what relationship is she to John, sister, family friend? What information about John Holbeck is available if any? He is stated to be a USA citizen so there must be naturalization papers. Skroch Funeral Chapel in Flandreau handled the funeral/burial. John if our John HOLBECK had two sons in Iowa who were orphaned when their mother died in 1918 and John left in about 1925. The two boys were rearred by their maternal grandparents.

My father, James Boylan DAILEY was born in Flandreau January 29 (or 27?) 1920. He was the 2nd son of Robert and Lou (sp?) DAILEY. Brothers and sisters include Mary (nee Dailey) DREHER, Robert DAILEY, Jr. and Edward DAILEY. I believe my grandfather held a state office at some point. I'm interested in learning more about when my family came to South Dakota and from where as well as any historical information about the area from the time they came through the Great Depression, This is my first genealogical query. I wonder if my cousin, Matthew DAILEY (DOB~ 1958?)has made any. According to my Aunt Mary, he's become the family historian, but I'm not in touch with him. Thanks!
