Clarendon County Connection

My name is Cindy
Ridgeway Parker.
I volunteered to coordinate the Clarendon County, South Carolina
USGenWeb
homepage because all of my roots go back to the 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 from as early as
1740. I graduated from Sumter High School in 1973. I started my college
education at the University of South Carolina at Sumter. I completed my
B.A. in education at Coastal Carolina University and my M.Ed. at the
University
of South Carolina. I teach mathematics at Alice Drive Middle School
here
in Sumter. If you have Old Sumter District roots, then I might be your
cousin. If you ever come by this way, let me know. I might be going to
the local archives that day. Feel free to e-mail me anytime. (Be sure to put
Clarendon County in the subject line. I
receive a lot of e-mail so I only read the ones with interesting
subject
lines or return e-mail addresses that I recognize.) In the meantime,
visit
me via my
homepage where you will find the basics of my personal genealogy.
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 Clarendon 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.
The Clarendon County, SCGenWeb
site
is dedicated
to the memory of my beloved daughter,
Melissa Leigh Sutton
Carolina Girl turned
Hodkgin's Warrior,
turned Carolina
Angel.

"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.

Be sure to check
out the
Sumter County genealogy page too. Since Clarendon County was once
part
of the Old Sumter District many people with ancestors who migrated west
during the 1800s actually have their roots in Clarendon County, but
just
don't realize it. There are more queries on the Sumter
page .

About
the South
Carolina SCGenWeb 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.
Much thanks to Graphics by Chris for some of the graphics on my web
