We meet the 3rd Thursday of each month (except June, July, August & Dec) at Faith Lutheran Church, 17 Indiana Ave, Rapid City, SD 57702 near South Middle School. Our goals include giving our members help and encouragement in researching their family trees, buying genealogy books and microfilm to be placed in the Rapid City Public Library, and preserving and publishing as much history and genealogy of the Black Hills area as possible. We publish a quarterly, The Black Hills Nuggets, to which members and friends contribute articles of interest. We often have speakers on different aspects of genealogy at our meetings and we also sponsor a genealogy seminar from time to time.

Sources and Strategies for Tracing Ancestral Migration

When our United States ancestors spent their entire lives in the same town or county, finding available records to document their lives is not overly complicated, although it can still be difficult. However, when families moved from place to place, they sometimes seem to appear out of nowhere or vanish without a trace. This session will explore methodologies for tracing ancestral migration, illustrated through migration examples from various localities. It will then highlight key research principles and resources through the presentation of Asahel Chappell’s migration journey.
