A very special kudos to my genealogy buddy, Lowcounty Africana, for her dedication and ongoing spirit as she has built many pages for the free Footnote Collections on South Carolina Estate Inventories and Bills of Sale, 1732-1872.
She has transcribed the slaves' names of many of the early plantation owners and invites other family researchers to contribute pictures and documents to the pages.
Just in case you have roots in the lowcountry, you may want to check it out.

I keep watching in the hope you'll get around to finding an estate for one of my elusive ancestors.
Ahh, genealogy. Got to remember the past in order to learn and improve our future.
