This is what I have found so far...You will recall "he, your lame client cant read HTML, haha. click attachment to see some stunningly HOT stuffe" was a copy and paste from one of my mailing lists to guide you what to look for and steer from in my first warning email. AOL members if you will just type in at keyword: W32.NewApt.Worm or anyone can go to: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ Kathy <<>

This has come from Rootsweb on the problems I just sent out. hmmm wonder if it comes from the "prettypark.exe" I mentioned in the prior email. Just be cautious at this time of year of what you do open - whether you know the person or not. The .mime I do not know if it is dangerous but it has gone thru several mailing lists and there has been question on it. It has always been we only had to worry abt .exe but I will be checking on the mime this weekend to see if there is a new cause to worry.

For some reason attachments are getting thru to many of the mailing lists. PLEASE remember do not open if they have an .exe. Even if you know the person sending it - still be cautious as many times people do not know they are carriers of a virus. This is one of the times of the year virus's go thru the internet. One I have seen on a mailing list is HAPPY.exe Another that came thru recently on one my emails was prettypark.exe. I did not open it but was in communication with a person that did open it. They said it went thru their system and sent emails to people in their address book every 30 minutes. And it searched for their banking account numbers but luckily they did not have it in their computer. Something that has gone thru the lists the last couple of days has .mim Please do NOT open if it gets thru the mailing list. I have no idea what it is or who it is coming from. But this is how it looks: <<File: ARSEVIER.mim (97519 bytes) DL Time (26400 bps): < 1 minute he, your lame client cant read HTML, haha. click attachment to see some stunningly HOT stuff>>> If you have question on a virus, do an internet search - there are many sites that can inform you of what virus' to look for and what are hoaxes. Thank you and have safe and happy holidays Kathy

Hello to all who are interested in Newton County, In November and a good part of December I had computer problems...lost many email requests for family group sheets.

I invite all of you to request group sheets from surnames that appear in the index. I have also added data for six more cemeteries. The url to my front page Newton County: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~edgmon/newton.htm Links to the mentioned index and cemetery page are found at the above url. Take Care, Judy Tate

I recieved this from another list and thought I would share it with you. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Forgive me if anyone does not like this or does not think it has to do about family research. Tammy in Florida Old Cemetery Old Cemetery, weed grown, forlorn, forgotten, Headstones bent, some fallen away, Those who sleep there, long since dust, Humble, renowned, who can say. A brook so quietly flowing, Its murmuring sound unheard The world, uncaring, passerby Like a Teeming, thundering bird. The birds' soft lilting, cadence, A rosebush sheltering the bees, A prayer is said for the neglected dead, In the blowing summer breeze, The winter snows fall gently, In that sad but hallowed place, And falling leaves come bringing, The gift of the dear Lord's grace. Then a miracle seems to happen, In that little burying ground, The stones are straight, the weeds are gone, There's sunlight all around. The markers are standing like sentinels, In the shrouding mantle of night. The voices of those who sleep there, Seem to whisper into the wind, "Thank You, friend, 'twas very kind, And won't you please come in? We thought we were forgotten As we rest here under the sod, Walk softly, friend, speak gently, Here in the presence of God."

I recieved this from another list and wanted to share with all. I hope your Thanksgiving was a Happy one. Tammy in Florida

Dear List - I have just started my genealogy page at Freepages, and on it I have a picture of my grandfather, Edwin Finley WELLS. He and his family are thought to have been in the Walnut, Newton Co., AR area sometime between 1910-20, during which time he died. We have not been able to find any death or cemetery record on him. This badly deteriorating photo is the only likeness our family has of my grandfather, but if you would be so kind as to look at the picture and let me know if you recognize him or have any info about him or his family, I would be most grateful. My URL is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~peggyriggskopp Any help is most greatly appreciated. Peggy Riggs Kopp
