Folks,

a couple of things I wanted to mention.   First of all in reference to the
microfilming of all the old records in SC - I have a small update.    A pilot
project with the LDS will take place.   If it is satisfactory to all parties,
future joint efforts may result.   However,  South Carolina has a budget
surplus this year!!!  and every group imaginable will be applying for funds.
Please write your congressman and let them know that you would like funds to
go to the SC Archives so that they may film our historical records.   If we
don't get more support for this, the money will go elsewhere.   Our group is
working hard on reaching societies all over the state to ask for their
support.   Please contact me if you  have any questions.

secondly,   I am the new host for the South Carolina Page of the American
Local History Network.    The goal is to be sort of an index for historical
and genealogical information for South Carolina.    I need hosts for the
counties of SC and also contributions of information and links.  If you are
interested, please visit the site

if you have any questions, please e-mail me privately.

thanks,

leigh
