Hello All, I enjoy the info that flows on this list. Sorry I can't be more active. I am working on WILLINGHAM in Tuscaloosa Co., AL.

List Administrator, for now leave my list address as it is (at work). Everyone else PLEASE DELETE MY ADDRESS from your ADDRESS BOOK or change it to james.davis@cyberbytesbbs.com (my home address). Thanks. James R. Davis, Sacramento, CA

Hi, I've never been to a LDS library but do have one here where I live in FL. I'm trying to find a death certificate for an ancestor who died in AL. Either in Jefferson Co., or Tuscaloosa Co. Would the LDS library have an Alabama index for 1922 and 1931? Thanks, P. Forister

Hi, Would anyone know if the State of Alabama has a genealogical society? P. Forister

Good Morning ! Thank you for asking about the Alabama Genealogical Society. The following announcement concerns one of two seminars held by AGS. The Spring seminar is held in May in Birmingham, AL, on the Birmingham Southern College campus and the Fall seminar in October in Montgomery, AL. You are cordially invited to come ! The registration form includes membership information. Charlotte Tucker ctucker@dbtech.nt Member of the Program Planning Committee Alabama Genealogical Society ============================================= Make your plans now to attend the Fall Seminar in Montgomery, AL, on Saturday, October 20, 2001. We will explore the two primary overland routes used to move into the area which is now known as Alabama. An excellent panel of knowledgeable speakers will present a program on the two primary overland routes (the Federal Road and the Huntsville Road) used by pioneers to move into the area now known as Alabama. The Federal Road was a major influence in the settlement of the Mississippi Territory during the period between the Louisiana Purchase and the removal of the Creek Indians. In 1806 a horsepath for postal riders through a malaria-infested wilderness was opened through the Creek Nation, stretching from middle Georgia to coastal Alabama. It was widened into a military road starting in 1811 in anticipation of the War of 1812, running from Fort Wilkinson near Milledgeville, GA to Fort Stoddert at the Mount Vernon Landing on the Mobile River, just east of present day Mount Vernon, AL. The Federal Road carried thousands of pioneers and directly contributed to the dramatic increase in Alabama's population between 1810 and 1820. The Huntsville Road was the main thoroughfare for settlers coming from the Tennessee Valley into Alabama, running from Huntsville through Blountsville, Jonesborough and Bucksville into Tuscaloosa. Mr. James H. Walker, Jr., author of "Roupes Valley," will present his Huntsville Road research. Three speakers on the Federal Road are being provided by Landmarks Foundation of Montgomery, Inc., which manages a collection of 40 restored 19th century buildings in Montgomery. They are Mark Dauber, Dr, Craig Mann and Jeffrey C. Benton. Please contact Jyl Hardy, President, jylhardy@bellsouth.net for additional registration information.

Peggy Sue: RootsWeb's mailing lists only pass text content, not attachments. Therefore, you cannot get a virus from list mail. But, you could receive a virus from an infected fellow listmember -- sent directly to your e-mail address and not through the list itself. And, if you have your e-mail address on a web page, you're vulnerable there. The newer viruses (SirCam for example) are sending mail out to addresses found in the web-page cache. One must exercise due dilligence in keeping anti-virus software up to date and running regular virus scans. The alternates are simple -- get infected or give up on the Internet. Regards, Elsi

I thought ROOTSWEB List's were supposed to be Viruses protected.

I received two viruses on 9-27-01 from the above mentioned party. I have not e-mailed anyone since this time until now. The viruses are identified as W32/badtrans@mm virus and pws-av virus. I have McAfee virus scan and it caught the viruses, but my computer has been e-mailing people on the list. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. I haven't been able to clean or delete them. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Lillie Farley

Hi, This may be a dumb question but here goes anyway. Tuscaloosa Co., 1850 index is online with surnames and numbers beside it. Like for example FORRESTER 153B-167B. I know the 1850's are not soundexed so my question is can I take this index online and somehow locate the above family on the Tuscaloosa Co., AL 1850 census that is on microfilm? Thanks to anyone, Phoebe Forister

I have received two messages tonight from FANCHER and my aniti-virus program worked. How can we get the message across to this person that there is a problem with his/her computer? Sybil

I also received these attachments from a P. F. Francher email address was pf107@mindspring.com I am assuming that this person does not know that they have the virus on their computer. I received 5 attachments, 2 of the same file. I did not download the attachments because it looked like a virus to me. It tries to trick you by making you think this person is sending you a reply. These emails had messages in them that I had posted with Bibb Co., AL list and Tusc. Co., AL list. This person must be on both lists. The attachments I received were named HUMOR.TXT.pif, README.TXT.pif, news_doc.scr and New-Napster_Site.Doc.scr. There are probably others. Another clue is at the bottom of these messages it will say >take a look to the Attachment. So beware of these attachments. And another thing, I don't know about other ISP's but with AOL if you delete these emails you need to go to mail and then go to recently deleted mail and permanently delete these emails. You don't want anyone to accidentally download these files to your computer. Phoebe Forister

I received a message with an attachment from someone with the name of Fancher and it had a virus. This person needs to clean up their computer. I was lucky in having Norton's Anti-virus program and it trapped the "thing". Sybil

I see the name Shirley. Could that also be spelled SHIREY? My ggrandfather lived with a family by the name of SHIREY in Marion County.
