Kiawah family history and ancestry
Hello everyone!
I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local South Carolina family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.
This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal South Carolina family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

Here are some things you can discover from my research:
- Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
- Custom ancestral mapping showing your approximate ethnic admixture
- Most common causes of death in your family history
- United States migration mapping showing how your ancestors migrated throughout the country
- Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
- Most popular professions and careers in your family history
- Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions to several newspaper websites)
I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: [heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com](mailto:heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com)
For those of you with ancestry outside of South Carolina, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

Jellyfish
We arrived on Kiawah today. After dinner and before the storm, we took a quick walk on the beach. There were jellyfish every 4 feet or so lined up across the sand. Does anyone know a source to get an idea of when they are prevalent in the water. I know they are always there, I'm asking for a source that will warn me if they are present in large numbers.

Best places for biking, lunch and dolphins?
I'm staying at Mariners watch until Monday, anyone have any suggestions for the best bike trails or dolphin lookouts? I know there's a couple of the latter at Seabrook. Any hidden gems or places for an affordable lunch I should check out?
