Subject: OPD cd update From: John Robertson Date: May 26, 1999 It appears likely that there will be required number of requests for the cd to justify the making of a June 1999 revision of the Old Pendleton Database cd. The Old Pendleton Database is composed of the ancestors and descendents of those who lived in the westernmost 3 counties of SC. As expected, event/locations for SC are the most numerous, but most states and many countries are represented. NC and Georgia combined account for 15% of all stated event/locations. This is the cd version of the Old Pendleton Database as maintained by Herman Geschwind of the OPD Chapter or the SCGS (revised/expanded monthly). This database now contains well over 200,000 names (showing relationships), and almost 11,000 surnames. The gedcom may be downloaded From the link provided, but the cd is provided to save hours of download/extract/combine/import time in 3 major genealogy programs (demos or shareware of all provided). Please note the following: 1. The cd will not work with Macs 2. The cd requires Win95 or Win98. The Old Pendleton Database cd webpage has been updated: http://www.shelby.net/jr/olpend/ You can look here to find about anything you'd like to know about the cd. Please do not respond to this list regarding the cd. A special mailing list OPD-CD-L has been formed at Rootsweb for the special purpose of discussion of obtaining/using the cd. A portion of the revenue from the cds will go to Rootsweb and to the OPDC/SCGS. This cd project was not begun until it had the approval and support of Rootsweb. ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
