We meet the 3rd Thursday of each month 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.

Among family history researchers, early New Englanders are famous for having created a wealth of records that provide insights into their lives. This was in large part due to the important role that the town played in early New England. This 5-week online seminar will delve into these important resources for New England research in the 17th through 19th centuries and demonstrate how you can get the most out of these records for your own family history. https://hubs.ly/Q03TL7_w0

Woohoo! We are wading into the W's! We've started digitizing the "W" names on the War of 1812 Pension Files. Watch for new pension files in our War of 1812 Pension File collection: https://f3.social/6ybm
