Research by the Society
The South Carolina Genealogical Society, Inc. does NOT have a staff to do research. A list of professional researchers (paid research) may be obtained from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, Parklane Road, Columbia, SC 29223, or the South Caroliniana Library, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208 and the South Carolina State Library. Most county libraries also maintain similar lists.
You can also contact the County Chapters (see About Us tab) to see if anyone has already done work on the names you are researching or if they would be willing to assist you in your research.
