>Could someone give me the website for vital records in SC?  I also need
some advice.  Would I write to Columbia or the town to receive a death
certificate with father's name?  I absolutely need father's name to see
if a connection is there for my Boysworth search.  Thanks for any help.

Beth,

I'm not going to be any help with addresses but I just wanted to tell you
that the SC Department of Archives and History in Columbia, SC does have
death certificates from 1915 to I think 1940. I'm sure they would provide
you with a copy. There is a fee but it is reasonable. I would send $5.00 or
$10.00 and tell them to keep any change as a donation. You would need to
have a date of death and the county where the individual died so they can
find the record quickly. At a minimum have the month and year of death plus
the county. 

I'm pretty sure the individual county Health Departments keep death
certificates. I know Greenville County does. In Greenville County, a death
certificate search while you wait costs $5.00 as of three years ago. I do
not know what the cost would be if they have to mail it to you. At the SC
Department of Archives and History,  I have done my own search through the
death certificate files and the only cost was making copies (.50 each).

I hope someone else can provide the addresses you need. I hope I was of
some help.
