Resource information needed #5

Open JannaKAnderson opened 4 weeks ago

On the Day County Genealogy Resources website, you have an index for a book entitled "History of Day County, 1873-1926" by L.G. Ochsenreiter, 1926. The index lists a couple of my ancestors, and I want to find the information, but I cannot find any copies of this book (either digitized or to purchase.) I live in California, so I am unable to come to any SD research sites. Do you know if this book is available anywhere? I am interested in information for Tom Jones of Waubay (pp. 170-171) and W.H. Jones of Egeland (pp. 126-127)

Doing a google search I just found a link that shows more information about the book you're looking for.

https://www.biblio.com/book/history-day-county-south-dakota-1873/d/1463260715

I haven't been able to find an available copy of it yet. But I live in Salt Lake City, UT. I'll check to see if I can find information on this book a the FamilySearch library for you.

The only copy of this book I've been able to locate so far turns out to be located in Los Angeles California. Are you near there?

It's a few hours, but that could be an option. I will try contacting the library to see if they could provide any research help. It's a long way to go for just a couple of pages, but I'll definitely keep that optio open.

Thanks for your help!
