Returning from my second Family History Conference in Charleston, SC in May, I stopped in Dillon to find the wedding chapel so many used in the early days including me. The wedding chapel is now used by the police.
While at the Family History Conference I got to spend the day researching at the South Carolina State Archives. I first was tried to find information on a relative that fought in the Civil War, which proved unsuccessfully. My biggest find in the State Archives was the marriage record for my parents that proved just what I thought about my mom's age when she married.
In the picture below I am sporting my new t-shirt
"I seek dead people"
(I'm a genealogist)
This is so true in every sense as I spend countless hours looking for our ancestors. It is also good to talk to the living about family history also as I continue my "In Search of You."
Please send any family news that you want to share to Linda Owens.
