Re Street Addresses/Charleston City Directories. The Charleston City Directories are available on microfilm and microfiche (early years) and can be ordered through local (Mormon) Family History Centers for a small postage fee. I have enjoyed reviewing these records and found many of my ancestors listed together with street address and occupation. (Photo copies can be made of these pages for your records.) The Directories also contain interesting information re churches, schools, local fraternal organizations, clubs, etc. plus the fun of reading the advertisements in the "white pages". Also available for review, are microfilmed copies of the early church registers (still in existence) such as St. Philip's, St. John's Lutheran, etc., plus filmed collections of various Charleston cemetery inscriptions. These microfilms are a wonderful resource for any researcher living away from the Charleston area. Mary Alice

Here is information on resource for books. I butt in here on the conversation between Elizabeth Russo who lost her internet bookmarks and Edward L. Manigault because I had a great deal of difficulty initially locating the following information. Took me about half a day and many long distance phone calls to genealogy-related libraries, etc. around South Carolina: Berkeley Museum 950 Stony Landing Road Moncks corner, SC 29461 Phone: 803-899-5101 Attn: Debbie Reynolds, Office Manager (They don't have email) In December 1999 Berkeley Museum ("a facility of the Berkeley County Historical Society") had copies of books listed below: Historic Ramblin's Though Berkeley $35.00 Historic Resources of Berkeley County $10.00 South Carolina and Cemetery Records Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie $8.85 Indeed, they do ship and then bill you for cost of books plus shipping charges. I certainly enjoyed working with Debbie Reynolds. Mary Jacques in Montana [email protected]

Yes, Monck's Corner still exists! We drive through it every summer on the way to Pawley's Island! It is very small, and on a state road.

<< I want to say it was Monck's Corner (does it still exist?), SC. >> Greetings from SC. Yes, it does exist, and it is a small but thriving community. I have been to the Berkeley Museum-- very small but interesting. URQ

<< "ST JAMES' CHURCH - Goose Creek, S. C. - Build A. D. 1713, is in a remarkable state of preservation. The Royal Arms of England above the east window are still intact. Services are helt (sic) within its sacred walls." >> Greetings from SC. I find the following in "South Carolina Highway Historical Marker Guide," SC Dept. of Archives & History, 1992, p. 23: "Goose Creek Church US 52, 14.4 miles S of Moncks Corner The Parish of St. James was founded by Act of Assembly 1706. The present edifice was begun in 1714 and completed in 1719. The royal arms of Great Britain can still be seen over the chancel, and here is preserved the IZARD Hatchment, said to be one of the only two in America." URQ

St. James Church is definitely the Goose Creek church I had mentioned earlier. I found another postcard today (same postcard) but with a description on the back: "ST JAMES' CHURCH - Goose Creek, S. C. - Build A. D. 1713, is in a remarkable state of preservation. The Royal Arms of England above the east window are still intact. Services are helt (sic) within its sacred walls." Maria

I paid $35 plus shipping, and called a lady named "Debbie Reynolds" (no kidding) at the Museum associated with the society. She shipped out the book with a bill, and I paid it after receiving the book. What service! The book doesn't give the address, and I think I got it off the old Berkeley county website before they changed it--and before I accidently wiped out my bookmarks and emails. If no one else has it, I will search the web. I want to say it was Monck's Corner (does it still exist?), SC. Elizabeth "Edward L.

Betty - Many Charleston streets changed names over the years and nearly all addresses have changed. The house numbers have been changed two or three times since the original city was created, but unfortunately there is no master list of these changes. I don't know if House 9 on the census would be the same as #9 New Street or not. You'd have to determine that from the way the census was documented. According to the "Information for Guides of Historic Charleston , South Carolina", copyright 1985, 137 Broad street was a 2 1/2 story wooden house built in 1879 as a rental unit by Mr. John Peter Merkhardt, a German baker. It is a 19th century town house plan with a hall on one side with piazzas on the west side of the house. I am not sure if the house numbers on Broad Street have changed since that time period. You might also check the Charleston City Directories for your ancestor. By tracking him for multiple years, you'll be able to see how the numbers might have changed and you should be able to tell if he actually moved or not. I believe the directories cover that time period. I know the Charleston County Public Library has them, but I"m not sure where else they are available.

....Which brings me to another topic. I have over 150 Charleston views from the "golden age of postcards", 1900-1920. They aren't doing anybody any good sitting in my file cabinet. I would be more than happy to scan these and make them available to the SC homepage, but I'll need a webmaster or some type of volunteer to receive and organize them on a website. Any thoughts?

Elizabeth: Could you please post the address and/or phone No. of the Berkeley Co. H. S. and the price, if you know it, for the "Ramblins" book? I HAVE to have one. Thanks so much!

Hi Do you know if there are any pictures of the Old Andrews Church and Cemetery? I thought someone had said there was going to be a record of people burried there. I have not seen anything as of yet, unless I am just looking in the wrong place. Thank Betty

I wonder if anyone would know about the address 137 Broad st in Charleston,SC from the year 1907. Cemetery records that I have from Magnolia Cemetery say that my gt.grandfather had lived at that address when he died in 1907. The 1900 census said he lived at House 9 on New Street. I went on the web to Charleston for the present city map and it shows a short St. called New St. It is very close to Tradd and King. I know my gt grandfather had lived at the corner of Tradd and King around1886 for several years when his son was born. I am confused over the address of New St in 1900 and Broad st. in 1907. Could any of these addresses have changed their street names? Thank you BETTY

Could I get you to send me a scanned copy of the postcard? Thanks

Hey Sharon, As usual, you have come up with another great site. Had to bookmark it so I can go back. Judy << This very nice site below is posting Vintage Postcards from each state in the USA.

Bryan Company, Columbia, SC This book is available through the Berkeley County Historical Society. It contains the following photos: An 1886 post-earthquake photo of Goose Creek Church (the paris church for St. James, Goose Creek); photo courtesy of The News and Courier Strawberry Chapel, the Chapel of Ease to Biggin Church, the parish church for St. John's Berkeley; photo a part of the J. Russell Cross Photo Collection St. Stephen's Church for St. Stephen's Parish; Berkeley County Historical Society St. Thomas Church for St. Thomas Parish; Berkeley County Historical Society Pineville Chapel; Berkeley County Hist. Soc. Black Oak Church; J. Russell Cross Other photos include old Plantation homes which no longer exist; people; and cemeteries. I will try to get permission to scan and post these, or will take pics when I get there. Elizabeth
