​Miner County South Dakota Genealogy Website: ​ In June 1996, a group of genealogists organized the South Dakota Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point where collected databases would be indexed and cross-linked, for all counties in South Dakota.  That way, if an individual was found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.

The website provides access to these search databases: Bibliography, Churches, Courthouse Address and Phone, Farm Directory, Homestead Records, Veterans Records, and WPA Cemetery Project, among others.
