Duwayne KRAUSE 1941-1998, South Dakota -- Record Search Help
I am looking for a birth record for Duwayne KRAUSE.
Birth: 29 July 1941; Death: 16 November 1998, Buried Albee, Grant County, South Dakota.
SS Death Index places last known residence as Saint Paul Minnesota.
Gravestone from Find a Grave record lists him as a veteran, possibly served in Vietnam.
Fold3 Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death File says he enlisted in the Army 28 November 1958.
So far, out of all this, I can't find any family information or connections. I believe he is the son of my Great Grandparents - Harley Krause (1915-1978) & Esther Aslakson (1916-1979) - but the few links I have found have been tentative, and I am looking for more tangible, sourced information to prove or disprove this relationship - So a birth record, obituary, marriage, or other record that lists familial ties is what I am searching for.
Duwayne was born after the 1940 census, so wasn't listed with the family. The 1945 SD State Census has a 'Duane Krause' listed, a 3 year old, who I believe is this same individual, but again there are no family ties listed in that census or other records.
Other children of Harley & Esther are: Shirley Mae, Rose Marie, Harlyne Lloyd, Joyce E, James Albert.

I recommend using the Wiki Guided research for South Dakota at https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/GuidedResearch:South_Dakota.

Thank you Ben. I've already exhausted all those sources, so I posted here in the case another relative has more information on him.

Of course in three years you can look for him on the 1950 census!
