The Old Pendleton District (SC) Database CD for January 2000 is now
(finally!) available.  All current orders are in the mail or will be Monday.

This cd is a project of the OPD Chapter of the SC Gen Society.  Rootsweb is
aware of the project and has given approval of its occasional announcement
on lists where it is relevant.

The database currently contains 244,000 inter-related names of those who
lived in the western-most 3 counties of SC, and their ancestors and
descendents.  Most states and a number of countries are included in its
thousands of listed locations.

This version of the cd will be immediately available thru February.  The
next expected revision of the cd will be for the April revision of the gedcom.

The low-cost cd is offered to support continued contribution of data to the
already huge database, as it becomes increasingly inconvenient for many to
download/import it.  The download/import access is still within the reach
of many.  Currently, it is essentially impossible to import the gedcom in
FTM using other than WinNT.  Usable FTM databases are provided for FTM 5, 6
and 7, and for a number of other popular genealogy programs.
