Consequently, a lookup (at the Courhouse) takes only a few minutes. In addition, marriage records from Sioux Falls that predate that time (though they may be sporadic) are located in a three-ring binder at the Courthouse and can be perused by those folks who have paid their dues to the South Dakota Genealogical Society. I am a Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness volunteer for Minnehaha County and will be glad to do a marriage search for you if you E-mail me at <[email protected]> I do have a backlog of such searches since all the public was bumped off the county computers effective with the recently enacted June 1 SD public records law, but I will place you in the order of requets received, if you desire.
