ORANGEBURGH_SC Mailing List
The mailing list, ORANGEBURGH_SC, is not affiliated with the Orangeburgh German-swiss
Genealogy Society. The OGSGS, however, acknowledges the mailing list as a useful tool for Orangeburg genealogists and
provides this page as an aid to those who wish to subscribe or unsubscribe.
Purpose
ORANGEBURGH_SC is a mailing list for all serious researchers of the people of Orangeburgh Township, South Carolina.
The area of South Carolina this covers is determined by the time frame. Of particular interest is the South Carolina
"burned counties" and Calhoun, Lexington, Barnwell, Aiken, Edgefield, Newberry, Richmond, Sumter, Saluda, Bamberg,
Old Colleton, Dorchester and Old Berkeley Counties. Therefore, primary discussions center around upcountry families
(mostly German-Swiss origin) between the period 1735 to 1865. -
