SD Births over 100 years old are online. Minnehaha County: Endre GRINDE & Gjertrud BERDAHL had John E., b. 12 Aug. 1880, & Martin E., b. 3 May 1884. Sever GRINDE & Sophia WELTZIN had Florence, b. 15 July 1903. Jens GRINDE & Marie WELTZIN had Eddie, b. 20 Oct. 1903. Carl GRINDE & Bertha Sophia GUTTERSON had Emma Janella, b. 14 S 1886 Edwin, b. 15 Dec. 1890 John Oscar, b. 3 Nov. 1892 Oscar, b. 15 Aug. 1894 Clara Bertha, b. 4 Oct. 1896 Henry, b. 29 Sept. 1898 Wm. Leonard, b. 6 Dec. 1901. The only Minnehaha Co. land patents I see online are for Carl in 1887 & Gjertrude, 1890.
