SC State Library Genealogy Assistance Request

Thank you for your interest in scheduling a genealogy research appointment. We are happy to meet with you virtually. Please review the following before submitting your request:

  • All questions must be submitted in writing through the request form to ensure accuracy.
  • We can help with specific questions but cannot do in-depth research or build family trees.
  • We do not have access to birth or death records—please contact the SC Department of Public Health.
  • Answers may not be available during the meeting; please allow a few days for follow-up.

To ensure we can provide the best assistance, please complete the form in full.

Appointment Details

  • Research sessions are approximately 30 minutes and conducted via Zoom.
  • Available times: Tuesday–Friday, 9:00–10:00 AM and 2:00–3:00 PM.
  • For the best experience, we recommend using a computer to view the librarian’s screen during the session.

If your genealogy questions fall outside the scope of these appointments, please send an email to hmajewski@statelibrary.sc.gov for further assistance.

We look forward to helping you explore your family history!
