The South Carolina Genealogical Society (SCGS) is an official organization dedicated to providing helpful information and resources for genealogical research in the state of South Carolina. With a focus on enhancing and enlightening the understanding of both genealogy and history, SCGS aims to dispel the misconception that genealogy is a pastime reserved for the elite, emphasizing that it is a fun and engaging pursuit for all individuals, regardless of their family background. Through their website, SCGS offers access to various genealogical resources, including family trees, cemetery surveys, county histories, and general research information, encouraging individuals to contribute their own genealogical findings to the site.
While SCGS does not provide research services, they offer a list of professional researchers available for hire, and they also direct individuals to other institutions such as the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, the South Caroliniana Library, and county libraries for further assistance. With a commitment to preserving and celebrating the rich heritage of South Carolina, SCGS invites individuals to explore their ancestors and discover the fascinating stories that lie within their family histories.
