I renewed my effort to trace my family ancestors this year (2013). The Find-A-Grave site has been a great help. My family is from South Carolina with roots in Orangeburg,Lexington,Greenville and Spartanburg counties. I am interested in the following families and their connections. Bishop, Hooker, Wall, Mack, Goodwin, Arant, Coggins, Ravan, Littlefield, Alverson and Sightler. I will gladly share any information and photos.
For people just starting in the ancestor search, I would strongly advise you to get all the information you can from the oldest members of your family. This will give you a good base to work from. Then verify! Not all word of mouth information is accurate.
