New Research Links

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

I’ve added a few new research links in the right hand column on the site. The first is wikitree, which is a free, publicly collaborated world family tree project. Next up is the Encyclopedia of Genealogy which has some nice background resource information. This is also free and publicly collaborated. The last is Linkpendium, which claims over 2,000,000 links to Genealogy resources. (Admittedly 146 of those at least are to my two sites, as they link directly to county pages). They are worth a visit though as it’s amazing how much they have in there *(and how quickly things are added, this site was added within a week or so of it’s beginnings, and I don’t recall asking for it to be included, I am thankful for the link though.)

Fairfield and Florence Counties updated

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005

I’ve updated the information on Fairfield and Florence counties. (Updated the spelling of Fairfield, from Fiarfield, so links to the page may need to be adjusted accordingly.) I’ve been able to add a bit of information on those counties and continue progressing alphabetically on the second pass through the county links revision.

Updates and Cemetery Transcriptions

Monday, August 1st, 2005

I’ve updated Edgefield County, so there should be a bit more information there now. Also, I’ve added Cemetery Transcriptions links on counties where that information is available. On many it is not yet available, but those have been added up through the letter “E”, which, unfortunately did not have any entries. I do have one more note in regards to the USGS cemetery listings.

County Information

Friday, July 29th, 2005

Well, now, like with the North Carolina site, I have finished the second draft of County Information pages up through the letter ‘C’. This means that everything alphabetically up to Colleton County has much more detail on it than the first time through. I don’t know that I can keep up the quick pace on moving through the rest of the alphabet, but will try to make a bit of progress at a time.
