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).
