I and my husband are in the process of building a website on states in the southeast. Im going to have basic information on records and links. If someone familiar with the records available for this county could take a look at it and correct me on information or can add info (especially county history), I would really appreciate it. Also any feedback from anyone is also helpful. The address is http://www.segenealogy.com then go to the state and county page. Thanks in advance.

The father of Levi Burkett lived in Houston Texas before moving to South Carolina near kingstree in Williamsburg County, my mother Margaret Elizabeth ( Lizzie) was one of his six children. Levi Ervin Burkett enlisted in the CSA in 1861, was wounded in 1863, he was my grandfather, was last on the rolls 1864. I would appreciate any information concerning this part of the Burkett family.

Hello Betty, Just a note to let you know I've requested three fiche from LDS here in London. They have to come from Salt Lake and will take six or more weeks, but I'm looking forward.

Sure, I'm sorry I thought you meant my e-mail address: My mailing address is 593 Velvet Loop; Lakeland, Fla. 33811

Sorry, I need your mailing address...post office type...so that I can mail you the 5 pages of names of Montgomerys from Williamsburg Co, 1870 census, from the African-American copy. D

Try the Darlington County USGEN WEB page.....look under a link for surnames. I think I saw a link to his web page there....if it doesn't work there you can also find his email address there.

Tried ScottWilds@aol.com & got AOL Search page...any other info?

<< thanks so very much My e-mail address is nyaga@aol.com >>

In the book--Abstracts Williamsburgh Equity Records 1823-1870 there is a listing for Samuel Montgomery who died 12 April 1862.It says his slaves were emancipated at his death but does not name them. Maybe someone who knows more than we do can advise you where to look to find the names. Good Luck. Elsie >> Thanks so much Elsie, I appreciate your response, Valeria

Would the birth and death records from 1800's have included African-Americans? Johnny
