Suzanne, you and I have talked before and so if there are new people out there maybe if you can't help Suzanne you can help me. I posted mine yesterday but so far Suzanne and I cannot connect our SC Adams families. Mine left SC before the Civil war and went North to IL. When families start splitting up it is very hard to make a connection. So we in SC keep our eyes WIDE OPEN!!!!!

Have you been able to obtain any death certificates or burial records of any of your family that can help open another path for you to follow? Have you checked to see if any of your relatives were apart of the Civil War or any war? That too can open up some doors.
