We're a small volunteer crew and it may be some time before we can index this microfilm, but that's no reason you can't dive in and begin researching in these records! We hope there are some great discoveries there.
If you find an ancestor there, please share the news with the group. Happy Ancestor Hunting from the Crew at Lowcountry Africana!
