Dear Steve and all-

I have been lurking long enough.  I had best explain myself.  I have had 
major, mega bucks type problems with my computer.  The company repairing 
it transferred all my electronic files to their computer and it crashed 
losing all my files including over 6000 names in my FTM.  (My back-ups 
did not work either)  At least I have hard copies of most things.

I joined this list for three reasons.

1.  I do have one of my family lines originating in SC.  It is William 
Coats who emigrated from Scotland in the 1700s and was in the Camden 
district.  I know little of him or his family.  I also have a number of 
Bledsoe relatives in the state.  (If you have Bledsoe kin then you are 
kin to all Bledsoes)  I am always looking for cousins in these families.

2.  I am not a native South Carolinian but I do now live in the Upstate 
and want to learn more SC history.

3.  I am a monitor for the Craig rootsweb and corresponding secretary for 
the  Craig Society for Genealogical Research. I look for any and all 
information on the Craig families.  If I find any then I send it to our 
rootsweb in hopes that it will help one of our Craig cousins.  We have a 
number of Craig 'orphans' that we are trying to connect to any of our 
established lines.  We are also trying to put as much information as we 
can on all Craigs in one place so that future generations will have 
access to all of our work.

If you have any Coates, Bledsoes or Craigs in your families then I would 
like to hear from you.

In my own personal library, I have several books on the families in 
Culpeper County, VA, Bedford County, TN and Wilcox County, AL.  If you 
have kin or think that you have kin in any of these counties, then I 
would be happy to look for them in these books.  Just be patient... My 
computer is still not up to par and family responsibliites do take some 
of my time.
