As a Myers descendent I have found this publication invaluable in discovering my early Myers ancestors in South Carolina and have made it part of my genealogy library.
Although most of my Myers family presently live in Alabama and Georgia, I knew their roots were in S.C., but didn’t know much about them past that. With this book, I have discovered a new technique of tracing my early family members when the Census falls short: through land documents and court records. This thoroughly documented publication presents land documents, court records, and maps of where my Myers ancestors lived saving me hours of time looking through microfilm records. Using these tools, the author is able to trace my Myers’ family members back further than I thought possible, and, in doing so, have learned of the interrelationship they had with their neighbors like the Burris’s, Prothro’s, Nettles, and others. I can just visualize how life in their community was back then, that is, around the late 1700’s and early 1800’s as though I was transported to another time. I know of no other publication where such information can be obtained under one cover. The research was immense. To see if other Myers’ are related to this S.C. family, the author lists his own DNA markers for evaluation.
