You are invited to visit the Hartsville Genealogical Research Library, 114 South Fourth Street, Hartsville, SC to conduct your own research in this collection. Copies may be made in person at the library.

I AM OUT OF TOWN (STATE), CAN I OBTAIN COPIES?  YES, please read further.

Due to the overwhelming response that we have had to this list, we are going to try to fill requests for copies by mail. However, please keep in mind that our staff is "all volunteer," and most of our folks work full time, so please be patient.

HOW DO I FIND THE SURNAME OR TOPIC I AM INTERESTED IN?  A little trick.. if you do not want to scroll all of these names. Go up and click on "Edit" at the top of your screen. Then click on "Find" or it may say "Find in Top Window." Put in the name you are looking for and it will go to it on this page.

HOW DO I  ORDER COPIES OF THE INFORMATION IN THE SKINNER GENEALOGICAL COLLECTION?  Copies of the cards in the Skinner Genealogical Collection are 33 cents each, postpaid.  There is a MINIMUM ORDER of $10.00. 

IF THE NUMBER OF CARDS IS LISTED NEXT TO THE SURNAME OR TOPIC THE PROCEDURE IS EASY:  Determine how many cards are in the set(s) you desire.  Multiply the number of cards by .33.  Mail a check or money order payable to ODDC SCGS to the address below and your order will be filled as quickly as possible.

EXAMPLE #1-  Barrett Family-  44 cards times .33 = $14.52.

EXAMPLE #2-  Anchors Family- 25 cards + Beach Family- 3 cards + Broom Family- 16 cards + Boulware Family- 11 cards = 55 cards times .33 = $18.15.

EXAMPLE #3- Ambrose Family- 13 cards times .33 = $4.29 (Sorry, MINIMUM ORDER OF $10.00.  If you desire, you MAY purchase only these 13 cards, but the cost is $10.00.)

IF THE NUMBER OF CARDS IS NOT LISTED NEXT TO THE SURNAME OR TOPIC, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE:  Select the families or topics you are interested in and e-mail the Chapter's Officers.  We will count the number of cards and respond to you in a couple of days.  You can then decide to order the cards.

SEND ORDER AND REMITTANCE (MINIMUM ORDER OF $10.00) TO:

Old Darlington District Chapter, SCGS
PO BOX 175
HARTSVILLE, SC  29551-0175  

I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.  You may email Chapter's Officers for further information.

A NOTE FROM A SATISFIED RESEARCHER

I got the copies of the cards for Mozingo and Kea last week. I really appreciate your quick response. I see in your note that there are an additional 150 cards for the surname Key. I think I will wait on that. I'm hoping to get up that direction this summer and I will check those then. In checking land records I had come across a Mozingo name - Jesse Mozingo - I wasn't familiar with as a witness in an 1806 land transaction and had hoped to find a possible lead on him.

Thanks for all your help.

Sincerely,
S.M.
