Orders are now being accepted for the October, 1999 revision of the Old
Pendleton District SC Database cd.

Details may be seen, as usual, at
	http://www.shelby.net/jr/olpend/

The Old Pendleton District was composed of an area where the modern SC
counties of Pickens, Oconee and Anderson are now found.  A map of the area
(with surrounding counties in SC, NC, and GA is found at 
	http://www.shelby.net/jr/olpend/opd.jpg
Most states and many foreign countries are found among the event/locations
for ancestors and descendents.

As things stand right now, the database has grown beyond the capability of
FTM to import the gedcom directly.  Broderbund has been informed of their
problem.  The other 3 programs (BK, FOW and PAF) supported by the cd are
having no difficulty.  I DO expect to be able to provide an .ftw database
which can be opened by FTM 5.0 or 6.0a, by using a very time consuming (10
hrs+) workaround.  The cd may very well be the *only* practical way for
using the October 1999 version of the OPD with FTM.

At last report, the database had 233,000 names (of which 207,000 are
inter-linked in some fashion!).
