South Carolina

South Carolina's records begin with the 1670 colonial settlement and reflect a society shaped by the rice and indigo plantation economy, diverse immigration from England, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Germany, and a large enslaved African American population. Heritage Books carries titles covering South Carolina's colonial parishes, district and county records, Huguenot genealogies, Revolutionary War records, and African American genealogy. Many titles address the challenges of researching through the significant record losses of the Civil War era.
