Spartanburg County SCGenWeb
Spartanburg County SCGenWeb site is looking
for people to help us on this project. We need input as to "What's available"
(or Not available) of Genealogy / History of Spartanburg County, South
Carolina. We are compiling a list of "Look-up
Volunteers" and what expertise they are in.
The USGenWeb Project
We also need "Volunteers" to help us "Look-up"
available records and forward to us so we can included them in the USGenWeb
database. Information about the Project and links to other states and counties.
The USGenWeb Project and the SCGenWeb Project are non-commercial, all-volunteer
organizations and are NOT connected in any way with USGenWeb, Inc. which is a for-profit
Idaho corporation.
SCGenWeb Archives
Data contributed by South Carolina researchers, including Census Records, ship lists,
maps, deeds, Wills, Bible records, marriages...and so much more.
|
| An effort is underway to make even more on-line data available FREE to
researchers. Your data can help enhance this project. In order for
the SCGenWeb Archives to match and surpass the holdings of other
states, your help is needed. When you survey a cemetery, transcribe a
will, a deed, a letter, or any other non-copyrighted document, please
consider donating a text copy via e-mail to the SCGenWeb archives for
the county as well as to the local genealogical society. The more
that we share our information, the more that we will all learn about
our ancestors. If you have any data you are willing to share, please contact the
SCGenWeb Archives Manager.

If you can offer your resources and talent
to help another "Rooter", please consider volunteering!
***** USGenWeb's Official Policy on Copyrighted
Material *****USGenWeb will not tolerate any copyright violations. Lookup requests
should be limited to one name, or perhaps two if it is a married couple.
Information given will be minimal, for example, if it is a cemetery lookup,
the information will be the name of the cemetery and dates on the headstone.
Please do not ask for "everyone with X surname" or an entire family group,
or for hardcopies to be mailed; the volunteers have been asked not to comply
with such requests.
Our lookups will extend to searching the book to determine if the
book would be helpful to you in your research. Should the book prove useful,
we can provide the authors address and ordering information.
The USGenWeb Project will endeavor to get a WRITTEN statement from
each copyright holder which stipulates which books may be used for lookups.
