THE RECORD
More than a family tree.
This substantial genealogy brings together names, dates, marriages, migrations, photographs, and historical records in a single volume. It follows South Georgia McMillan ancestors whose journey began in Scotland and continued through North and South Carolina.
For descendants, it is both a research reference and a tangible link to the generations who came before them.
IS THIS BOOK FOR YOUR FAMILY?
A genealogy, regional history, and family archive in one volume.
The book is most likely to be valuable to readers whose family history connects with the McMillan name, allied South Georgia families, or the migration route from Scotland through the Carolinas into Georgia.
Places and migration
Scottish clan origins and the movement of families through North Carolina, South Carolina, and into South Georgia from the eighteenth century forward.
Faith and community
Background on Presbyterian, Primitive Baptist, and Missionary Baptist traditions, including churches, pastors, and community life tied to these families.
Documented research
Compiled over six years from family Bibles, individual records, tombstones, courthouse files, census material, archives, letters, and family photographs.
Especially useful for: descendants, genealogists, libraries, historical societies, and researchers with roots in the McMillan families of the Carolinas and South Georgia.
THE STORY BEHIND THE RECORD
Six years of searching, listening, and preserving.
R.H. and Gladys McMillan described a family-led effort that took them across the Southeast, into archives and courthouses, and as far as Scotland. Their aim was to gather scattered family knowledge into one lasting reference.
Built from original sources
The compilers consulted family Bibles, letters, photographs, cemetery inscriptions, census records, courthouse files, church records, and state archives—then compared those findings with information shared by relatives.
Scotland to South Georgia
The book follows the family story from Scottish clan traditions through settlement in North and South Carolina and onward into Georgia, placing individual family lines within a broader migration history.
More than names and dates
Readers will also find McMillan spelling variants, clan and sept connections, church history, community life, and accounts of the families and places that shaped successive generations.
The original compilers openly acknowledged that a record of this scale could contain errors or omissions. This edition preserves their 1973 work as a family and historical resource.
