Subject: [STATE-COORD-L] Biographies at SDGENWEB
Hi Everyone:
We have been in the process of bringing several volumes of biographies
on-line. While all of these people ended up in SD, their ancestors came
from elsewhere.
If you go to our search engine
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/sd/sdsearch.htm
and type "biography and rhode+island" (for example - without the quotes),
you will find 30 biographies that mention Rhode Island --- was anyone left
in RI??? <big grin>
For bigger states, the numbers go up -- 1165 for New York, Illinois - 975.
Even those southerners couldn't resist the wonderful SD weather -- VA - 255
Anyway, please pass this information on to whatever general genealogy
mailing lists you belong to - there is a lot of good info here.
If you are searching for specific names, try "smith and vermont" -- for
example.
