Hi Betty and everyone, I thought I'd reply to the entire list about Betty's question regarding "unsafe attachments" because others may find the information helpful, too. The problem Betty mentioned is probably related to the Klez virus. Although our discussions here on the list should be only about genealogy and history, I'll break my own rule this once and suggest that everyone take a moment and learn more about this virus. Here's a good link to information on Klez: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,52174,00.html The Klez virus scans an infected computer for email addresses, then uses those addresses to send out further copies of itself. When a server receives such a message using your (forged) address in the "reply-to" line it may then send a message to you saying that your email contained an unsafe attachment. You, of course, never sent the email in the first place; the Klez virus just used your email address to spead itself. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have the virus, but someone who has your address on their computer does. The virus targets people who use Microsoft Windows, so Windows users should make sure they keep their virus detection software up to date. If anyone has further questions about Klez, please contact me off-list at [email protected] That way, we can keep the list free for genealogy. :-) Glenda Savage ALBLOUNT List Admin Betty Riley wrote: >Hello List, >I have been getting these posts for several days now that give me the >message **OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your >mail: ATToo2o3.eml, (ALBLOUNT-L)nail,eml**,or something similiar. >I have ONLINE SCAN from McAfee so feel I am pretty safe but there seems to >be a problem somewhere. >Betty Riley >--------------------------------------------------------- >----- Original Message ----- >From: <[email protected]> >To: <[email protected]> >Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 10:00 AM >Subject: ALBLOUNT-D Digest V02 #89 > > >

Hello, My Blount county ancestors, the PHILLIPS and DOVERs, settled in Poinsett County, Arkansas. They appear to have migrated about the same time as the MARDIS family. I have quite a bit of information on that Mardis bunch if anyone is interested. Sincerely, Jan Porterfield

Had a recent visitor to the museum ask for info on the Mardis family of Blount County and any info and / or pictures of the old Mill. Found very little there on the subject and was wondering if anyone out there had pictures or info to offer. Thanks very much and this will be passed along to the couple interested and copies to files at the museum for future use...Melba Lowe

Dear list members, Is anyone on the list a descendant of the William M. Morton, Jr. who married Ann Samuals in Blount Co. on Jan. 15, 1832? If so, I'd like to communicate with you about our lines. I've recently found out, with the help of Melba Lowe, that they were the parents of my gggreat-grandmother Rebecca Morton Phillips Walker. She was married to my my gggreat-grandfather, Jesse P. Phillips, who was killed in the Civil War. I just obtained a copy of their Marriage Record and would like to know more about them, especially if they spent their later years in the County and died here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
