Guide to SD Marriage Records This guide was extracted from "Guide to Public Vital Statistics Records in South Dakota" compiled by the WPA, South Dakota Historical Records Survey, in 1941. This guide includes the date of the earliest records for each county and the type of records available. Where two dates are given, that type of record is only available during the interval. Where a single date is given, the records are available from that date until at least 1941.
