Lyman County South Dakota's Genealogy

Newspaper Extractions

Scads and scads of genealogical data taken from old newspapers. Well worth your time.

Part of my job at the Chamberlain-Oacoma Register was researching old newspapers and I am now sharing it with Internet genealogists. Data is condensed, but the basics are here. For additional information, contact me. Some Brule County data is included since many Lyman County residents use the mortuary, cemeteries, land office records, etc., all across the Missouri River in Brule County

If, after you have checked all of the files I have published on this site for your free use, you feel you need more research done, contact me and I will conduct an additional search for a pre-designated fee.

Codes: b - born; . d - died; f - final proof on homestead; g - general stuff (odds & ends); m - married; son/dau - born or died.

Guaranteed to make your head spin, but worth the surf. It has gotten completely out of control!

Some may take a while to open.

Advocate extractions... Kennebec's newspaper until 1998. Bits and pieces of information about people living in Lyman County such as birthdays, anniversaries, military discharges, etc. Just things I had written down so thought I would include them in these pages.

Misc. Newspaper "Stuff" - Indexed articles found in the old Chamberlain/Oacoma papers. Just a bunch of "good stuff" I have access to. The data on these pages may include some homestead filings, people relocating, anniversaries, discharges from the military, etc. Always under construction as I add more data as I get it compiled.
Surname files below-- I spent the winter of 1988-'89 at the library in Chamberlain extracting genealogical data from local newspapers 1881 through July 1905 as a project for the South Dakota State Genealogical Society. Lots of bits and pieces of data. Just a bunch of "good stuff" from the Advocate Leader.
