The best way to view all the S. C. plats, grants, etc. in your own home it to go into the SCDAH site and click on Record Indexes on line. You will not get copies of the originals, but will find abstracts that include dates, acreage, waterways, all names on documents - anything that is on the document. There are also many other indexes included. If one wishes to order, you can also order online.
