This might be of interest to all who are hosting SC web sites. It is from the SC Commision on Higher Education -- a list of all schools no longer in operation. Good stuff for tracking down the school(s) your ancestors went to! I found one for my Aunt Edna -- Draughons Business School in Greenville. Hope this can be of some use for all. http://www.che400.state.sc.us/web/Academic/SCHOOLS%20NO%20LONGER%20OPERATING%20IN%20SC.htm Michael Researching in South Carolina and England for: Dobson, Hodgson, Shirley, Mclaren, Brock, Park, Landress, Pool, Spence, Sumner and Williams.

Hello ALL, Due to health and other personal considerations, I have ceased my major genealogy activities. I have for a number of years researched the surnames CADDELL (& variations inc CALDER), GREEN, HENDERSON, ANDERSON, GREER, BANKS, BATTLE(S), BELL, BU(I)RCHFIELD, KENNAMER, KING, and SINGLETON wherever they lived. For any of you who desires further contact with me, I may still be reached at "bcaddell@hcnews.com". Shortly I will not be subscribed to any of the Rootsweb lists.

Here's another Traci! I sent a picture to Traci months ago and had not thought about for awhile now. Well, Monday morning I got an email from a gentleman who had this person in his database. A new connection for me all because of a picture. Jackie Howell > plus, I've heard lots of great sucess stories > that happened because people connected from the site!

Howdy all! I've been working on the site again (for those that are new http://www.scgenealogy.com/pickens ) and noticed that we haven't had anything sent in for several catagories. I know ya'll have some records of your family that could be posted. :) Q & A... QUESTION: Why should I send stuff in? ANSWER: There are actually several great answers for this question! First, the more you send in, the better your chances are for hooking up with other researchers who you can share information with. The internet is a great tool for genealogy research but if people don't know where you are, they can't share! I have figued out more confusing lines since the site started that I ever would have by just doing nothing.. plus, I've heard lots of great sucess stories that happened because people connected from the site! Second, it helps other researchers... SCGenealogy.com is FREE - I pay the costs yearly to keep the site up, and it ain't cheap LOL ... I do it so I can share with others, give back to all those that have helped me in the past! Lastly, the site is nothing with out the help of all those who contribute! Ya'll are the ones that fill the site with wonderful information for others! QUESTION: Is my stuff safe if I send it to you? Do I keep my copyright? ANSWER: Yes, if you transcribed something and you ever want me to remove it, I will. I do protect it as best I can - I don't sell, rent, or loan out your stuff, never will. (The site was founded to keep the records FREE for you to view) If you put it on the site its YOURS ... period. QUESTION: What kind of things should I send in? ANSWER: Well the things you can send in are; Bible Records, Biographies, Cemetery Records & Photos, Census (its ok if you have only transcribed your family - I'll still post it for you) Church records & histories, Death/Obits, Links to your family site or another site that would be helpful to researchers, Land/Deed, Marriage, Military, Newspaper records, Obituaries, Photographs, Old Maps, Directions to places of interest, School Records & photos, and just about anything you can think of that is history and or genealogy related! If you have a book out, you can send the index in - this helps researchers and increases the book sales! QUESTION: Are you nit picky about how I send files in? (In other words, are you gonna gripe at me ...) ANSWER: Nope. If you send it, I get it posted. QUESTION: Ok, ok, you convinced me, I want to send you some stuff. How do I go about this? ANSWER: That's the easy part! Attach it to an email (to howdycuzin@aol.com) It doesn't matter what format you send it in, I'll get it open and posted :) I hope I have inspired ya'll to submit your files to the site! (and a big thank you to those who already do!) Stop by and see us! Warmest Regards, Traci R. Parsons-Holder (your humble webmeister)
