First I looked myself up in Ancestry Library. I found one entry further down the line that had one of my previous addresses listed.  It was the wrong dates though.  There was not much there.  I then looked up my grandfather Gordon Hamlin. I did find the census that had been filled out when they had first moved back to the farm. My aunt Evelyn was listed as being 2 years old. I imagine my grandmother was pregnant with my uncle Bill at the time but he had not yet been born.  It was amazing to see the old record.  When I searched for South Dakota and then looked in pictures, I admit I was a little confused. I checked out some pictures of professional baseball players, but then there were several entries saying they were high school yearbooks but when I opened them, one was a play and one was some jokes and another looked like an article a professor at Vermillion had written.

When I looked in Heritage Quest I searched for my home town of Highmore SD. I was not sure if I was supposed to pick books or any of the other options that are first given.  I did however find a book on the history of Hyde County. I then looked on Sanborn maps and tried to look for Highmore again and it was not listed as having any maps. So I looked at the maps of Pierre. A lot has changed over the years!
