CD List Related to Colleton County

Important Information from the "GENEALOGY CD List"

NOTE: You need to include a state name you want searched and a full name - at least, first and last.
A Census Index IS NOT a complete database. It provides only enough data to point a direction to go to further the search for more complete information. This data consists of:
Head of Household (usually male) - State - County - township - and Page # of the census film the data is on.
It is up to you, the requestor, to obtain the microfilm of the particular census you receive data about, and research for the rest of the information you desire.

Jane's Suggestions for Colleton County Research

CD 3 - Marriage Index
"The information included in the South Carolina portion of this CD is from 54 sources, representing a total of 33,877 marriages, some as early as 1641, and a few as late as 1944. Most are between 1750-1850. Until 1911, there were no legal requirements for keeping marriage records in South Carolina."
The information you will receive lists the source for the information. It is up to you, the requestor, to obtain the source material from a library through inter-library loan or request a xerox from a library that has a copy of the source. Jane Hurd has a list of the sources that were used (in case you find a record related to your research).
