Dear All: A Status Report on the Scottish Clan DNA program was emailed this morning to all the registered parties that had expressed interest. If I somehow overlooked you and: A: You are interested and and had sent a email to me B: You didn't send an email and are interested now C: And you did not receive a email today then please send an email to : DNACLANS@attbi.com This is the address that the DNA testing program will use for their future communications. Brief Status: A: GeneTree was selected as the Testing Lab. Contract will be posted on the web site next week. B: A private web site is up to show status and discussion on results. C: Volunteers are still needed to run this program. The full report is available now on the web site. Best Regards John A Hansen

Dear All: Here are the corrections to my previous post regarding the search engine by Hugh Wallis. A: The index searches the LDS index.It is not a separate database. B: The index is North America ( with Canada first :-) C: Europe is limited to the UK at this time. The other search hint comes from one of the users. If you insert the batch number in the marriage index, it will list all the surnames in alphabetical order. A nice touch if there are potential spelling variations. My apologies to Hugh for the errors.

Thanks John but here is a very important correction: I have not "compiled those records into a database by Parish that allows searching all the surnames on all the particular film in that entire Parish" as that would be a violation of LDS's copyright. What I have done is created an index to the LDS's index and presented it in a way that enables you to go to the LDS site in an easy to use manner, directly from my site, without doing a lot of guesswork about what batch numbers are valid, searching for and retyping of batch numbers. Could you correct that point wherever you may have sent your original message please Many thanks Hugh -----Original Message----- From: Hugh Wallis [mailto:hugh@our-own-home.com] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 1:36 PM To: 'John A Hansen' Subject: RE: Hugh Wallis Updates his IGI Database ! Importance: High A further correction - not just the USA but all of North America (and I put Canada first you notice!!) Also I haven't done Europe - just the British Isles Thanks Hugh

Dear All: The IGI parish database has now been extended to the USA as well as UK and Europe "So whats the big deal"? As many of you know and can correct my mis statements below :-) The IGI from the LDS has several components: A: The microfilm of the parish vital records took many hours to convert to digital format. There are of course still errors. There are also the normal errors from the basic data at the parish. These raw data errors on birth, baptisms, marriages, deaths etc are compounded by trying to interpret the handwriting of the local person and in the case of church records, the local priest or pastor. The conversion to digital format was then undertaken and so some more errors were introduced, however, the input was carefully reviewed and the translation from the handwriting was checked and double checked. So it's "pretty good". So the ability to quickly search these records in the parish provides a decent chance of finding a ancestor and the high quality of those records is valuable to all of us! Hugh has compiled those records into a database by Parish that allows searching all the surnames on all the particular film in that entire Parish. B: A second source of the IGI records was the submission by many people who submitted records. These records had some errors of fact and handwriting. Hugh has not included those as yet. Many people were becoming skeptics of the IGI due to the mixture of Class A and Class B records. In my view, while errors exist in all vital records, the Class A source should always be at least checked. The overall picture is one of a valuable source of records ( IGI) that are now available in a database that allows faster and more searching for records of the Class A. While people often moved, most did not move far. So a combination of searching a local parish and then moving to other nearbye local parish by using a parish map should reveal family connections. Then combine that with a census search and some brick walls may reveal some clues. So the original database is here and hope some of those hidden ancestors are found :-). Best Regards John A Hansen BTW: The original and complete database from the LDS is at www.familysearch.org. This database is organized by surname. There is also several other databases that provides lists of the films by parish and other books etc that are available. New records and information is constantly being added so check back often. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis >From Hugh Wallis: <My first lot of North American numbers are up on the site - you can <get to them from the same page as before - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/ - there will be more to come if folks can tell me what ranges to look <in!!

Dear All: Alastair MacIntyre is the editor and publisher of Electric Scotland website. He has been working to clarify the status of the Clans. The note below is from his Newsletter published today. The revised web site is now up and has referrals to the various clans and some of the related septs are also shown on another section. There is also a link to the Burkes Peerage that gives a free thumb nail sketch of many prominent Scottish people. This site is now the closest that I know of that takes into account the legal status from the Lord Lyon court, the approval of the Scottish Council of Scottish Chiefs and the pending status of the others. Here is the latest Clan review from Alastair at www.electricscotland.com. You can also subscribe to his weekly email magazine here as well.. Please forward to other lists and groups that may be interested. Best Regards John A Hansen Board and List Admin CLANS ----- Done another update on our Clan Menu. I've now classified the clans as... ***** = Officially registered clans, with Clan Chiefs, that are registered with the Lord Lyon Court. **** = Officially registered clans, without Clan Chiefs, that are registered with the Lord Lyon Court and hence are described as armigerous. *** = These are clans that are in the process of applying for registration. ** = These names are ones that we have some information on and may be septs of other clans or simply a name where several have got together to try and form a clan society. We may further sub divide this classification if we find a means of doing so. I will be doing some ongoing work on this classification business and am commencing a search for information on clans that we don't yet have information on. You can see the updated clan listings at http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/clanmenu.htm

Dear All: There is a IGI search program for the UK. This has been introduced yesterday. I checked it out today and it works fine. It allows you to search the IGI by parish and returns ALL the IGI records for that surname in that Microfilm. It covers both birth and marriages. It obviously took a lot of work to develop and cross\ index the IGI records by Parish in a database. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm#Page Best Regards John A Hansen Admin

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HO.2ADEB/271.1.1.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Hi, Jan. I forgot to answer your question! Sorry about that! :D In regards to certificates or anything solid like a paper document for birth/death/marriage dates, no, I don't. But, here's what I do have: Marriage date for John Ainsworth and Rachel Hoerne/Horne/Horn from the IGI: 12 Nov 1882 in Clitheroe, Lancashire, England. (This would be John Ainsworth #2). Card from the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society library: AINSWORTH, JOHN b. 2 Apr 1863 in Harwood, England d. 21 Jul 1919 in Dalton, WA (USA) m. Rachel Horn b. 28 Jan 1859 in Manchester, England d. 14 Mar 1951 in Seattle, WA (USA) His parents: Father: John AINSWORTH of Padiham (Pediham?), England Mother: Agnes Windshill of Yorkshire, Engl. According to the death notice for John #2, he died in 1919, thirty-one years after coming to the U.S, so apparently he and Rachel came to the U.S. around 1888 and lived in several of the eastern states. Their son William (my gr. grandfather), was born in Ohio in 1890, sometime after whose birth they moved out to Dalton, WA because their settling there was also in 1890. I hope that's helpful for you. Once again, THANKS SO MUCH!!! Linda

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HO.2ADEB/271.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Linda. Thanks for the reply. Aren't these Ainsworths a slippery lot! Do you have any certificates or anything that definately confirms the marriage date or any dates of birth? Incidentally, the FRC is the Family Records Centre. It's in London, and it houses the huge tombs that catologue the births, deaths and marraiges registered since 1837 in the UK. Well, that's when they started to centrally record them, anyway, but a number of births went unregistered because it never became an offence not to till - well I think it was - 1872. It was around then anyway. They have a copy of the IGI, and they now also have 42 computer terminals just given over to researching the 1901 cencus - that's when they can get the site working! That aspect of things, I think is a bit of a ripoff, if you ask me. They also have research facilities for Wills, as well as all the records for our cencus returns. It's a great place, but very crowded sometimes. It's where you go if you want! to order birth, death and marriage certificates in person. It's easier and cheaper to go there in person for this purpose rather that send away for them if you live in the London area. But going back to Martha Aisworth, all I know about mine is a record I found of her in the IGI with reference to her marriage to Mathew Townend. It doesn't give mention to any other details at all, and I just keep hitting brick walls in my efforts to get more info on her! Anyway, I'll keep my eye open for your Ainsworths! Happy hunting! Jan

Dear All: Here is a real early warning of a new Virus fresh from the testing Labs. You already know about not opening attachments etc from people you don't know etc etc. The format of this new worm has been in development for some time and you have all heard me talk and write about it. So don't open any URL's that you don't know. The AV software programs may be late as well in getting updates out quick enough. But at least update your AV software 2 to 3 times a week for the next few weeks. I do mine daily. There is a scheduler on most AV software and I just have it set to automatically download the latest every night at 3 am. While the first pass here may only be a "show off" piece I have seen vicious programs with deadly payloads that really do some damage and obtain key info that is then forwarded to foreign locations. The first wave will probably be labeled xxxxx.cool.html So watch for the "cool" part first. Later the url will carry other words or links that are designed to appeal to you in some way. Our genealogy hobby will be wide open. Be suspicious. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that there isn'tsomeone out to get you. Being paranoid about virii may keep you out of trouble.. This wave of virus attempts may be around for awhile.

So, this time, I'm attaching a URL instead, where you can go get the source if you want to see it. This worm *ripped* through our office today - it's one part flaw in Microsoft's security model and one part social engineering; it is a NON-MALICIOUS worm, but it effectively proves the concept, and I don't foresee more than a week or two before there's a nasty version. We've been calling it the "cool worm", after the original filename, "cool.html". I said *ripped*. I meant it. 40 people affected/infected in under 30 seconds. That's the dangerous part, I didn't even have time to go to the other room to let coworkers know what was up. The worm shows up as an MSN Messenger message that says "Go To http://www.masenko-media.net/cool.html NoW !!!". The user, obviously, clicks the URL, which takes them to the site, where the malicious code sits. The code opens the MSN Contacts list, then messages every contact with the message "Go To http://www.masenko-media.net/cool.html NoW !!!". Think about that for a second. Anyhow - the worm does nothing nasty, but the source to the (now down) masenko-media.net site also mails the hostname and user agent of the connecting host to "mmargae@wanadoo.nl". Looks to me like an experiment that got loose from the lab, but it demonstrates a *dangerous* flaw. Why can a webpage open the contacts list in the first place? What other hooks does MSN Messenger provide? Can you harvest email addresses from a contact list? Too many scary implications. Worm source (with a few important lines removed, so that it doesn't start popping up *everywhere*), available at: http://riotnrrd.com/cool-source.zip Cheers, - Drew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.

No problem with the John/Richard thing, albeit, I was momentarily confused. As far as where Padiham and all those other places are, I have absolutely no idea, as I do live in the States. What is the FRC? As far as what records I've used, I've been able to find out the marriage date for John and Rachel (Hoerne/Horne) Ainsworth at FamilySearch.com. So far, I've not been able to find out anything else online. My mom has a dear online friend whose passion is genealogy and she's been helping us do some family research. She's the one who found out that William's (my gr-grandfather) parents were John and Rachel, and that John's parents were John and Agnes. The dates I have for John II are: Born: April 2, 1863 in Harwood, England Died: July 21, 1919 in Dalton, Washington, USA I don't have any dates for John Ainsworth I (Agnes' husband). William was born April 2, 1890 in Garrettsville, Ohio, USA. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me. And, if I come across anything for a Martha Ainsworth/Matthew Townend, I'll be sure to pass it on to you.

I'm so sorry that it's taken so long to get back to you. Would you believe that this is the first time I've logged on this year! Where does the time go? Any way, my Ainsworth - Martha who married Matthew Townend - is still a boit of a mystery to my. I haven't tripped over yours yet, but I haven't done that much on this line yet. I'm fairly sure that she was born in the Wesat Riding of Yorkshire... I think Padiham is in the lake district, isn't it? I don't have an atlas to hand to make sure, but I will go look it up as soon as I get home. Ainsworth is not that uncommon a name in the north of England, apparantly especially in the Yorkshire are, although, but it's not terribly common outside of the area. I'd be interested to hear more on your Ainsworth, as then I can keep my eye open for anything relevant to you... I take it you're in the States?
