Maps Tracing the Formation of
South Carolina Counties - free online at South Carolina Archives
In most areas of the United States genealogy records
can be found under the county name. This is the case in South Caroling.
Therefore, it is important to understand the formation of counties.
Therefore when a large county was divided into smaller counties, most of
the time the county that retains the county name will most likely have the
records for the rest of the smaller counties prior to the time the small
county was formed. To locate the records of ancestors that lived in the
area prior to the time the county was created, researchers must look in
the county from which the small county was formed. The maps found on this
web site assist in locating the earlier county names. |
