The Archives in Columbia is listed in our Bush River Cemetery book as among the places that have the Bush River Films. Check operating hours, since a while back that had to cut back on days/hours because of lack of funding. The Archives are a great place to do work for several different counties...Especially be prepared with the items you'll want to see. Things have to be ordered from the stacks and, also, you must order what pages you want to be zeroxed and sent to you. Most if not all of the holdings of the South Caroliniana collection at the Univ of SC are listed online, so you can be prepared in advance to request things from their stacks, also. Last time I was there, you had to fill out individual forms for each item you wanted...quite time consuming even though I had the printout in hand. jr ----- Original Message ----- From: "jane gilbert" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 4:38 PM Subject: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] research advice > hi everyone, > > my apology for lack of caps, but i have bad burns on the fingertips of > my left hand so proper typing is a challenge right now. > > when i come down to newberry in may, it will be my first trip down > there. i'll be spending a lot of time doing research and could use > some advice on where the best resources are for what i need. i assume > the archives in columbia might in order. i'm going to want to > research records for newberry and surrounding counties (lexington, > edgefield, union) if that makes a difference. estate and will > records will be key, and i'd also like to see films of the bush river > mm records too (not abstracts). it seems the newberry family history > center is closed, so that doesn't appear to be an option. are the > bush river films permanently located at another nearby center? > > any input appreciated including maybe places to stay in columbia. > > thanks! > > jane > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.5.516 / Virus Database: 269.19.7/1233 - Release Date: 1/19/2008 > 6:37 PM > >
