Your
Lee County Connection
My name is Cindy Ridgeway Parker. I
volunteered
as coordinator for the Lee County, South Carolina USGenWeb homepage
because
all of my roots go back to the Old Sumter District, which much of Lee
County
was formerly part of. My parents, my grandparents, their parents, and
on
back were born in Clarendon County which was also part of Old Sumter
District.
I was born in and I live in Sumter County, less than 20 miles from
where
my ancestors were settlers, farmers, and then planters. My family has lived in South Carolina from as far back as 1680.
If you ever
come
by this way, look me up. Bishopville, the county seat of Lee County, is
less than 20 miles away from Sumter. Please, visit me via my
homepage where you will find my personal genealogy information. I
am
quite willing to share what I have on the surnames that I research, but
please understand that I am an amateur genealogist, researching my own
family lines. I do not have the time to research other surnames. I am
happy
to share my knowledge of Lee County and to do quick lookups in the
resources
that I own, but I am not available for research.
I have posted some information on
researching
in South Carolina on line. Please check out these lessons
. Maybe they will help.
If you have other data to add to
the files
that you find posted on this web site, please let me know. I will be
happy
to get them on-line for you.
"Each smallest act of
kindness reverberates
across great distances and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to
the
one whose generous spirit was the source of this good echo, because
kindness
is passed on and grows each time it's passed, until a simple courtesy
becomes
an act of selfless courage years later and far away....."
This Momentous Day, H.R. White
Let's
continue our circle of sharing.
The Lee County, SCGenWeb site
is dedicated
to the memory of my beloved daughter,
Melissa Leigh Sutton
Carolina Girl turned
Hodkgin's Warrior,
turned Carolina
Angel.

Sumter
County
Be sure to take a look at the
Sumter County
home page too. Since much of Lee County was once part of the Old
Sumter
District it might be a good idea to look there also. The old Salem
County
area that was once part of Old Sumter District is now within Lee
County's
borders. There are many more queries on the Sumter
page .
Volunteer
to Help With the SCGenWeb Project
If you are interested in hosting an
SCGenWeb
county homepage, just e-mail
Victoria Proctor . She is the South Carolina USGenWeb State
Coordinator .
(To find out which counties need a coordinator, check on the main SCGenWeb

About
the South Carolina USGenWeb Project
In March and April, 1996, a group
of genealogists
organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was
to
provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where
collected
databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed
and cross-linked, so that even if an individual was found in more than
one county, they could be located in the index.
At the same time, volunteers were
found who
were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally
oversee
the contents of the web page. The SCGenWeb Project is an extension of
the
KYGenWeb Project. This project is now nationwide. The USGenWeb
Project is becoming one of the largest
volunteer
efforts on the Internet. Its growth and utility will depend upon
you---the
user.
The USGenWeb Project and the
SCGenWeb Project
are a non-commercial, all-volunteer organization and are NOT connected
in any way with USGenWeb, Inc. which is a for-profit Idaho corporation.

As of August 6, 2009, I obtained a "new" email address as indicated by the graphic above.
I do not plan to post my "new" email address as a link due to spammers.
My old email address may appear on other linking pages.
I will be taking the old sc.rr.com addresses off of pages as I update. It may take a while :)
Please type in the email address above when you want me to post a query.
Be sure to
put Lee
County in the subject line
or I will probably miss
reading
your message.
