A public documentary repository
The Poston Family Archive preserves and publishes family records, newspaper pages, lineage charts, photographs, searchable PDFs, and machine-extracted OCR text connected to the Poston family of South Carolina and allied family lines.
The archive is designed as a source repository rather than a narrative family blog. Each item is presented with a permanent record page and direct access to the underlying PDF and OCR text.
Evidence and limitations
OCR is a research aid, not a substitute for the scanned document. Historical records may contain errors, conflicting dates, obsolete terminology, or incomplete information. Researchers should compare transcriptions with the original image and corroborate material through primary records whenever possible.
