The Andrea Files
This website is an abstract of the records in the Andrea Files. This collection of folders contains important genealogical information on many South Carolina and related families.
Andrea was a professional genealogist, so his letters to and from his clients are shown in his account of research for that family. He includes some wills, deeds, and grants of land to prove his points. You will find about everything that he collected to come to his conclusions for any particular client.
The surnames and other information are listed alphabetically in three groups: Index to Files, Folders, and Resources. However, some surnames are grouped together with other surnames. To maximize your search results, read through all the listings or use the search function in your browser.
The actual records for each family are not online at this site. Visit our More Information page to learn where to obtain copies of the research.
