Here you will find a little bit of my Family History, South Carolina Misc. Records extracted, from (wills, deeds, marriage records, deaths records, probate records) Penitentiary Records, Coroner Inquisitions, Church Cemetery transcriptions where to get copies of these books, pictures, census information, surname connections, Mortality records, Slave records and Mortgage Records. Many of the items in my possession, were copied from the original document and later compiled and placed in one of my many databases, for future reference.

I sent abstracts from its minutes, showing who represented the different churches at the annual Association meetings. I have used them to establish several genelaogies. If you don't mind, Paul, you may post a note saying (with my email) saying that I have done--and will do at no charge--genealogy for Anderson Co. African-Americans.
