Welcome to Kingsbury
county.
We
are a very small county where we know most of the names in the county
and relatives. We are a small group trying to keep our history alive.
We have walked all the known cemeteries and keep finding more small
ones. We collect all those treasures like that box of old newspaper
clipped obituaries, the old church cookbook with names of the cooks,
the old school program with family names, church histories and many
more.
We are fortunate to have an archive space in the
Lake Preston City Hall.
We would love to add you to our database so we can continue to link our
lines. Send us a pedgree chart with your contact information.
Our history starts in the late 1870 when the
railroads came into the county. Many of us realize what our familes
went throught by reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and enjoy helping in the pagent at
De Smet each summer.
We hope you will join us. We appriciate all the
family histories that have been sent to us. We are thrilled when we can
link you with cousins or neighbors who know where your lines went.
We meet the 2ND Tuesday at 5 PM the
in various location in the county. Email KCGS@itctel.com for information.
If you are planning a trip this way let us help you.
Read more of our doing on our Society page.
We hope the links we have posted to information on the other pages will
help you.
I hope to hear from you soon.
