    Word of advice.. Keep going on up the road..keep the doors locked if traveling thru. Just look at the demographics. I am south of Columbia about 7 mile in a small town. Give me an email if you go up 26 to Columbia

    No reason to fear I have spent some time there it isn't Detroit or DC for goodness sake.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    The graph looked to me like the crime rate is less than double the national average.

    I`ve traveled through Orangburg so many times it ain`t even funny.Usually going back and forth between Fl and WV,mostly Hwy 21.and 77.....Once I was driving south,started looking for a room about 100 miles north of orangeburg ,and there were none to be had.Finally I asked a waitress in an Orangburg diner (needed coffee)what was going on,why were there no rooms(about 2:am).I thought she said "colored festival"...but realized while going down the road,that she had said"collard festival".........218

    My advice would be to identify the documents that you'd like to research, i.e. birth, marriage, death, land, etc. and then go online to Orangeburg County genealogy resources. Once you have done that, you'll probably not visit their county court house, libraries, or any other local source. I say this because the vast majority of pre Revolutionary War records were destroyed when the British occupied the town. Everything was probably burned up or became lost. The those records accumulated between then and the War of Northern Aggression were sent to Columbia, I believe, for safekeeping, and Sherman's army burned up. Then the records accumulated between then and, I believe, very early 1900s, the court house burned down. Your best bet for records regarding people that lived in the County/District rest with those records in the state archives at Columbia. Also, don't overlook the changes to the County/District boundary lines as some records will be kept in different adjoining counties. Then, too, the benefit of visiting neighboring counties and libraries is important.

    What "specifically" are you looking for, or are you in the hunter gatherer mode based on surnames at the present time?

    Do yourself an incredible favor. Visit Columbia, SC, and Raleigh, NC state archives and libraries, first. You'll be glad that you did, happier than a pig in you know what, actually.

    I have some SC records, and should you want to send me a name or two, then I'll check them out for you.
