Genealogy Pro-Tip: S.C. Birth Certificates | Richland Library

I was checking hints for one of my ancestors when I came across something I didn’t expect: a hint for a relative’s South Carolina birth certificate. South Carolina did not start issuing birth certificates statewide until 1915, and those are not publicly available until 100 years later.
