I am researching my O'NEILL family, who were in Charleston approx. 1836 - 1865, Irish Catholics from Kilkenny. In using my local FHC, I have found the name of an O'NEILL researcher who submitted information to their database many years ago. I would like to know if this address information is still usable or if, perhaps, anyone on-line knows whether this individual is even still living. Seeking: C.P. RYAN, Jr., MD P.O. Drawer R Ridgeland, SC 29936 Any ideas? Julie O'Neil Perkins Coweta Co., GA

I think it was the Charleston Courier. Dates 1/10/1803 to 6/30/1852. Charleston County Library should have it on microfilm. Bill

The Charleston Mercury was in existence from 1822-1868 and The Charleston Courier from 1803-1852. They are on microfilm at the Charleston County Public Library. I believe the Charleston Library Society also has them (843 723-9912 - a subscription library that does do interlibrary loan to members) Your local library might be able to find other places that have holdings as well.

Does anyone on the mailing list know of a newspaper(s) that would have served the Charleston, SC area during the decade 1830-1840 and if they are available anywhere on microfilm? Jane

Going south for the winter. Will send new address. crews@ellijay.com

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3837/ this is the site of South Carolina GenWeb. From there one accesses the county and then data available.

Does anyone have that web site? Tks.

Caroline, Have you check Paul Sarratt's marriage indexes on the South Carolina GENWEB site? Deborah __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com

If anyone has an index of SC marriages, would they see if there is a record for KNIGHT, George Randolph and Elizabeth ... probably around 1884 or so. Both were born in Georgia but cannot find a marriage record in that state. Thought the railroad might have sent George to SC. I am in a wheelchair and cannot operate the filmreaders at the library. So must depend upon good people with books and other resources to help me out. I'm almost finished with this research, so won't bug you too much. Gratefully, Caroline Byng

http://www.ditto.com/ I'm probably going to get shot for sending this to multiple lists but I thought this was a cool search engine. You can search photos, it is a visual search engine. Who knows what you will find? Frances

My ancestor Alexander Rattray married Hannah Shell at St Philips Parish on Feb 19, 1738. Does anyone know if they still have these records available?

I believe the records of Old St Andrews are on microfiche - I'm not sure what time frames they cover. I think the Charleston LIbrary Society on King Street has them (possibly other repositories as well). The LIbrary Society is a private library, but they might do a look-up for you for a nominal fee - at least see if their records cover the time period in which you are interested. ----- Original Message ----- From: <URQ5@aol.com> To: <SCCHARLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 1999 8:07 PM Subject: [SCCHARLE] Old St. Andrews Church, FITCH, ROSE > In a message dated 11/17/1999 7:57:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, > frfg@earthlink.net writes: > > << How old is this cemetary?

The office at Magnolia will do research for a fee. There is also a survey of Magnolia on Charleston County GENWEB site. Kevin

How old is this cemetary? I am looking for a burial spot for one of my ancestors who died as a refugee in 1782. I found the undertaker but not the burial spot. thanks, Frances > Greetings from SC.
