South Carolina Genealogy and History

Researching in South Carolina can be a frustrating experience due to its unusual system of jurisdictional and geographic evolution. We have a number of resources to help you understand and sort through the evolution of the counties through time. We are also building Special Project pages to assist in researching specific eras and ethnic groups. Our pages change as new data is added so be sure to have a look at "old" pages now and then to see what's new!

Please take the time to explore these pages, and by all means, let us know of any additions you'd like to see!
