Did your ancestor live in one of the Original Thirteen Colonies? Were they here before the Revolutionary War? Each colonist came to the “new world” for different reasons and each colony was different. They came for both religious and economic opportunities. The Southern Colonies, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia were rural, with planters and farmers. Besides English immigrants there were Scots, Scots-Irish, Germans and Africans. Find out what records are available and where they are, so you can learn about your Southern Colonial American Ancestors.

The Zoom link will come to members via email on Friday. If you would like to attend this event the Zoom link will be posted in this location on Saturday morning.

Here is the handout for Jane Haldemen's presentation that takes place this Saturday. It is a pdf file so should work on ant devide you use. Download here!
