What a South Carolina family sees

TreeAlive maps family trees. When a visitor's ancestors lived in South Carolina, the markers standing near those places surface automatically alongside their family's journey:

Battle of Fort Sullivan · a few streets from where a family lived in the 1780s · the palmetto-log fort whose walls absorbed the British shells on June 28, 1776

When a marker stands near a place in your own tree, you have a personal reason to go see it. Open the live demo tree, choose the Crossings tab, and turn on Historical Markers to see the experience working (the demo family’s markers are in Pennsylvania; a South Carolina family sees South Carolina’s).

QR-ready, from day one

Every marker page has print-ready QR artwork. A scan at the sign opens the marker's page on the period map, no app to install. TreeAlive does no printing or installation.

Marker page links are permanent: identifiers are never reassigned, so a code printed today resolves for good.
