Taken from the 1910 Hand County Atlas J. L. Flint was born in Illinois in 1863. He settled in St. Lawrence, Hand County,
South Dakota in 1882. He married Ida M. Furman. They were parents of six children (in 1910). Mr. Flint
was publisher of the Hand County News, a weekly newspaper. He also served as Township Clerk. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Several issues of this newspaper still exist in a private collection, although fragile
and extremely worn. They present a peek into the daily lives of those who
lived in and around the entire area, and are a treasure trove of surnames and
"clues" in the quest for your missing ancestors. If you're curious as to who was
doin' what, this is the place to find out. <g> Papers will be presented
as time permits and in no particular order. I have resisted an overwhelming urge to correct the spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and style of writing. You will find, however, an occassional Red Comment. Check the links below. Happy hunting. CSR |

======================================================================== ANCESTRY QUICK TIP (from Ancestry Daily News, 23 February 2001) ======================================================================== Sometimes microfilmed newspapers from the early 1900s can get you past a brick wall. If you know your ancestor (or a sibling) lived in a small town, try ordering (by interlibrary loan) some films from the relevant state archive or other repository. Then read the "local news" items about who came and went on visits. After reading through 40 hours worth of such newspapers for my great-grandmother, I found one small notice that referred to a married sister "of Monmouth, Illinois" coming to visit. Taking that name, I found the sister and her husband listed in the 1900 census. The "Number of Years Married" column suggested the year they had married in the 1880s. Assuming they'd married at Monmouth, I asked the county clerk for their complete marriage record from that approximate year. When it came in the mail, I was pleased to see all the parents' names listed. Two of them, of course, were my own great-great-grandparents! A lot of work, yes, but I think it was worth it. This method worked after half a dozen dead ends did not. James A. Rogers |
