The Old Pendleton Database is a project of the Old Pendleton District
Chapter of the SCGS.
It has been under construction for over 10 years and contains more than
210,000 names in gedcom format.  This includes ancestors and descendents of
those who, at some point, lived in the presentday westernmost 3 counties of
SC.  More of the location/events are for SC, NC and GA than for other
states but most states and many countries are included.  The gedcom is
downloadable, but its success and resultant size have made that difficult
for many.

In order to promote continued contributions to the project, a low-budget cd
project has been added.  This project had the prior (and enthusiastic)
approval of Rootsweb before it was begun.  A Rootsweb mailing list
(OPD-CD-L) has been formed for the purpose of discussing obtaining/using
the cd.  A portion of the gross proceeds from cd sales goes to Rootsweb and
to the OPDC/SCGS.

Most questions relating to the cd (plus how to download the gedcom) may be
found at

Orders are now being taken for the cd revision expected to be made in
August 1999.
