Searching for myself in AncestryLibrary, I found that I was listed 2 times. I also discovered that there are a lot of people with my name in this world. Several within the Sioux Falls area.
I then searched my grandfather and found him in the 1930 census. It gave me information about his parents and their birth places. I also found his siblings and their ages in 1930. I did notice that the spellings of several of the names were not correct. I found it fun to look at who their neighbors were at that time! It is very cool that we can see an actual copy of the census record. This is a great resource and tool. My family does a lot of family history and I know that my dad has used this resource.
HeritageQuest seems easy to navigate and the information is interesting. I searched the town I live in and found 3 results. I liked that it gave a rating on the relevancy of each result. I then searched people and searched my maiden name. It was fun to look for my ancestors. I found a name of an individual who is most likely my ancestor and I will have to do some further research on it.
Sanborn Maps is also an interesting resource. I searched for Pierre, because I grew up there. Looked at several different dates and of course noted the growth of the city. Located the State Capitol building on one set of at the maps.
You made some great finds here, Liberty Library Lady! Thanks for digging into these resources!
