The South Carolina Division has taken on the task of finding, identifying, and recording all Confederate Soldiers within the borders of SC and SC soldiers buried abroad. An initiative has been under way now for several years, with many camps and compatriots having documented and successfully contributed thousands of names marking the final resting place of South Carolina Confederate Veterans.

The B.G. Micah Jenkins Camp has already documented Confederate Soldiers that are currently buried in York County. These records that are on file will use the information provided to complete the work at hand.

The next step will be that all information gathered by the camp will then be printed legibly on a field form provided by Division. There will then be a GPS reading taken at the top of each headstone and this information entered in the appropriate format, (as shown on the GPS DEVICE), in the appropriate field. A GPS reading will be taken at the Main Entrance of the Cemetery and this information will be entered in the Address Space on the Field Sheet of the form.

To keep from inventorying a cemetery more than one time it would be wise to obtain the information on possible soldiers while there. I have appointed Ray Baker, to serve as Grave Registration Officer to oversee this project. After which all the information that is collected will be converted to excel. format file that will be returned to the Grave Registration Director. Jerry Brown and Bucky Sutton will assist Ray with this process.

The Brigadier General Micah Jenkins will schedule workdays throughout the months of January, February & March to complete the Grave Registration Program initiated by the South Carolina Division.
