OK...cool! I did the DNA test from Ancestry and I have met some new family members from the DNA matches. One of the members started a Facebook group for SC DNA matches from our family so that we can meet and share information. From that group, I just found out that one of members and I attend the same church. We have seen each other in passing without knowing that we are related. I also found out that one of my choir members is related to me as well. I know that people may have their own opinions about the DNA tests but so far, I have found it helpful in confirming the information that I have and finding more branches to my family tree.

Hello! I am from Baltimore, Maryland. My maternal grandmother's family originated in South Carolina. My grandmother was born in Rock Hill (York county) as well as one of my aunts, their mother. My great grandfather was born in Winnsboro. My genealogy is mainly in Fairfield county though.
My father's mother was born in Halifax, NC as well as her parents and only brother who is still living. I believe my entire genealogy on my father's maternal side is in Halifax.
