Welcome
to |
| My
name is Andrew Staton, and I am your host for Laurens
County, South
Carolina Genealogy Trails! Our goal is helping you find
your ancestors by placing data online for the Free use of
all
researchers. We are proud to expand into South
Carolina,
providing our "experience" gained from years of researching
our
ancestors and website hosting. We want to hear about
you and
the history of your ancestors. We need help with
contributions of your
data, history and stories to make this a great site for
research. Everything is helpful: Obituaries,
Biographies,
Photos and County History, to name a few. As data becomes available, we put it online. Information will be posted as fast as we can find, type and/or receive it. We welcome your feedback, comments, and your data contributions. WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR YOU. All data we come across will be added to this website, so please keep checking back. You are welcome to browse the information here to gather the data needed in your research. Please remember that this data represents hours of painstaking research by the State Coordinator, Volunteers, and Contributors, who donate to this site. Show your respect for these efforts by not using it on other websites or publications without written permission of the host and/or Contributors nor claim as your own. If you have obituaries you would like to contribute, click here. Please include your name and the obituary source. If you would like to submit headstone data, click here. For mass submissions, email the host (see below). If you are interested in contributing other information to this site, or to contact the host, click here.
