I had problems downloading the information (I kept having missing parts) and after 3 trys I finally got everything in. I just want to say that I am disappointed in the data base. I expected a data base with the people from the Pendleton District when it was the Pendleton District. I was wanting something that would give me information about the time period, before 1826. Most of what I have seen is after, I realize this is the descendants of these people. But what I was looking for is before 1850, after 1850 the people is documented very well and can be researched. Where is everyone before 1826??? So mixed up and can't be found very easily. I was wanting the cd but if this is it, I don't. It won't be of any use to me.
