The Darlington Flag Newsletter
DARLINGTON FLAG INDEX, Volumes I - X, 1989
- 1999,
edited by Lynn Wilkie Lee...In
late 1989 the Old Darlington District Chapter, SCGS decided
to publish a quarterly
newsletter.
That first issue contained news of our genealogical chapter, a few book
reviews, and several queries.
Since that humble beginning, the size and scope of the
Darlington Flag has expanded.
Now each issue contains forty pages of news, queries,
acquisitions, book reviews, and most importantly,
transcriptions of Darlington primary
documents.
However, during the eleven years history of The Flag, it has never had an
index.
The editor decided early in this endeavor that an individual issue index
consumed too many pages that could be better used to publish
additional genealogical
content.
To all those who have bemoaned this decision, help is at hand.
Thanks to the
efforts of our dedicated Secretary/Treasurer, Lynn Wilkie
Lee, the long awaited index
to the Darlington Flag, has been published.
This index contains nearly 40,000
references to all persons (slave and free, past and present),
all churches, all
cemeteries, all watercourses, and all other states and
counties mentioned in the first
ten years of publication.
Our hats are off to Lynn for this fine effort.
