Just thought I would add in a site for anyone who may be searching in South Dakota as well as in these states. You can look up SD birth records that are 100 years old or over on the Internet. Here is a link to the site. Hope this helps someone. <A HREF="http://www.state.sd.us/doh/vitalrec/birthrecords/index.cfm">Click here: Birth Record Search</A> Ronette from SD researching surnames: MORSE, (VT MI WI IL MN SD MT CA) HANKS, (VT IL WI SD MT MN) COLLINS, BURRELL, CARPENTER (SD, WY) I have extensive information on Heywoods, Shaws, and Blachfords, and am always willing to share.
