South Carolina Genealogy

I’ve added a few new research links in the right hand column on the site. The first is wikitree, which is a free, publicly collaborated world family tree project. Next up is the Encyclopedia of Genealogy which has some nice background resource information. This is also free and publicly collaborated. The last is Linkpendium, which claims over 2,000,000 links to Genealogy resources. (Admittedly 146 of those at least are to my two sites, as they link directly to county pages). They are worth a visit though as it’s amazing how much they have in there *(and how quickly things are added, this site was added within a week or so of it’s beginnings, and I don’t recall asking for it to be included, I am thankful for the link though.)

I’ve gone ahead and made it through the counties starting with the letter G, so Georgetown, Greenville, and Greenwood Counties have been updated in the second pass through.

I’ve updated the information on Fairfield and Florence counties. (Updated the spelling of Fairfield, from Fiarfield, so links to the page may need to be adjusted accordingly.) I’ve been able to add a bit of information on those counties and continue progressing alphabetically on the second pass through the county links revision.

I’ve updated Edgefield County, so there should be a bit more information there now. Also, I’ve added Cemetery Transcriptions links on counties where that information is available. On many it is not yet available, but those have been added up through the letter “E”, which, unfortunately did not have any entries. I do have one more note in regards to the USGS cemetery listings.

I’ve made it through the letter ‘D’ now with the revision of the county pages. That means that everything through Dorchester county has had a second look. Lot’s more information for most every county is there this time around.

Here, just as on the North Carolina site, I’m adding a new section to the categories. Featured books Read the rest of this entry »

Well, now, like with the North Carolina site, I have finished the second draft of County Information pages up through the letter ‘C’. This means that everything alphabetically up to Colleton County has much more detail on it than the first time through. I don’t know that I can keep up the quick pace on moving through the rest of the alphabet, but will try to make a bit of progress at a time.

I’ve made it through a more detailed edit of the counties starting with the letter ‘A’. So, for this site it means that the county pages for Abbeville, Aiken, Allendale and Anderson should have a good deal more information on them now.

The title says it all. All 46 counties now have a seperate page with relevant information. Some have more info than others, but all have SCGenweb site link and a list of cities and towns. Most have at least one Genealogical/Historical society, some have more. Many have relevant books as well.

If you take a look at the “South Carolina Counties” entry in the sidebar to the right you’ll find that I’m over halfway through the 46 Counties of South Carolina (just finished with Greenwood.) This first past through the counties will be rather quick. I’m just putting in Read the rest of this entry »
