My advice is to call you service provider and tell him about them. They can actually block it by screening out the messages they are coming in with. You need to write down the EXACT message -- spelling, punctuation, capitalization and ALL. Then give that to them. But, NEVER open an attachment if you are not expecting it. If it is from a friend and you are not sure, save the message and write them back to see if it's OK. If it is not from someone you know DELETE immediately.

this James Sims--the story sounds like my but not sure--my James was from Nc and stop off in Pike co. we do not know if he was married--or where he was from--don't know his parents names or from where he was from--My James made it to Harrison co. Texas and was married in 1849 to a Sydney Odom--my James was born 17 May 1822-died 18 March 1889 and is buried in Lone Oak,Donnelton Cem.Texas if he was married before we don't know that!!! please email me at Rudybug@swbell.net

I also received 2 e-mail viruses from TOM. Although I belong to several lists I knew this was not a name or e-mail address that was familiar to me from any of them. If you have been on the lists for a while then you pretty much know the old hands connected to them. Also when I looked at the attachment name it had a double extension (IE...just_thought_i_could_help.doc.pif). I immediately deleted it without opening. By the way, it came through the Pike County List. ___________________________________________________________ Life is a grindstone; whether it grinds you down or polishes you up depends on what you're made of. - Jacob M.

Glenda, are you my cousin, girl? This is Shirley Price Nance. My father is Charles Price, brother of Aunt Lou Clarkson. I would love to get in with you and Tammy on research of our common ancestor, Esther Alabama McGuire. I am currently on the staff at Mesa Family History Center in AZ. Can't wait to hear from you both.

I sure would appreciate help from anyone on the Pike County List researching the Armstrong surname. Searching the list Archives, I could find quite a few Armstrong listings but none that I could tie to my line. My 2ggf was Larkin S. Armstrong, whose Creek Indian War Bounty Land Application indicates was living in Pike County in 1855. Pike County Judge Bird Fitzpatrick wrote several letters to help him get this bounty land. By 1860 Larkin had moved to back to Quitman County, Ga. The only Armstrong I can find in Pike County in 1850 was Hugh Armstrong; Larkin's father Ludwell Armstrong probably had a brother named Hugh Armstrong. His family was as follows: 1 Ludwell Armstrong b: Bef. 1775 in Probably South Carolina d: Abt. November 1825 in Pulaski County, Ga .. +Sarah b: Bef. 1775 d: Aft. 1832 in Probably Houston County, Georgia 2 Larkin S. Armstrong b: Abt. 1807 in Clarke County, Georgia d: Aft. 1870 in Probably Clay County, Georgia Census: 1860 Georgetown, Quitman County, Georgia ... +Martha Ann Freeman m: January 04, 1852 in Randolph County, Georgia 2 Martin Armstrong d: Abt. May 1835 in Houston County, Georgia 2 James Armstrong ... +Ellender Clements m: September 16, 1824 in Pulaski County, Georgia 2 Francis L. Armstrong d: 1825 in Pulaski County, Georgia 2 Elizabeth Armstrong ... +William Johnson m: January 24, 1822 in Pulaski County, Georgia 2 John Armstrong b: Abt. November 22, 1795 in Clarke County, Georgia d: January 19, 1859 in Itawamba County, Miss ... +Sarah Hawthorn b: 1800 in Roberson County, North Carolina d: May 21, 1860 in Itawamba County, Miss m: March 01, 1818 in Laurens County, Georgia 2 Polly Armstrong ... +James Daniel m: June 21, 1818 in Laurens County, Georgia

Patsy, Anyone who has your email address in their address book, and has a virus that sends out from the address listings, can send you that virus. It can't come from rootsweb, or be passed through rootsweb, but can pass from one individual to another. I am not an expert in these things, but that is the way I understand it works.
