The new page is up...long, so it takes a bit to load...but check your address to be sure it is there, and that it is correct. Takes forever to encode all of them... but we have 188 that are invalid. I need some updates so you can get mail from folks interested in your Barlow families on the Clearinghouse. The address is: http://www.barlowgenealogy.com/emailcontacts.html Oh yeah, Mississippi Kinfolks contacts are not yet ready though.

Newest thing happening. Yesterday was my 50th birthday, and for that my oldest son bought me a website. We are moving into www.barlowgenealogy.com I'll let you know when it is ready, but for the time being, I will also keep the Rootsweb acct. On the new site, we will not have pop-up ads, only ad's I choose to put there, specifically genealogy related ads. I have encoded all the e-mail addresses on the site now so that e-mail harvesters cannot harvest our addresses for spam. I sent out emails to everyone on my list, and at least 200 bounced. Part of that is my fault for not updating those in the past few years while I was 'on break' from genealogy. And I lost my address book in the process with all of those emails inside. So..If you did not receive an email from me telling you of my plans, then your e-mail bounced. If you have queries or pages of family on the Clearinghouse, you can go to: http://www.barlowgenealogy.com/emailcontacts.html Names are alphabetically be first name. Check to see if your name has 'invalid email' beside it..and if it does, go to the bottom of that page and send me your new one. I promise, I will get them up right away. This is a priority. I just spend about 10 hours encoding all of the ones that were good.

I received the following e-mail from DNA today in case any of you are interested. Could help get more folks testing. You would have to email Max to find out if you could specify a particular family to donate funds to. As for the mtDNA thing..I know there is a free database for that. I don't think I would pay for that test. But those of you who have tested might check in the new database for matches.

Hello, cousins. I am suddenly being slammed with several daily emails soliciting funds for various shady causes--obvious scams--via my Barlow email list only. Is anyone else experiencing this onslaught of undesirable spam? What, other than reporting it, can be done? Help, please! Thanks. (I hesitate to sign this as I'm not certain who has access to what at this point. Hope you understand.)

Hi Cuz........ I get a pile of these in my spam program DAILY........each one claims to be a 'prince' or whatever and it involves transferring funds. I used to report them all to McAfee, but that seems to be a lost cause. I think most of them come from outside the USA.

There's not much that can be done about the problem. The spam you are getting that appears to be coming from people on the is NOT really coming from people on the list. The worms going around get into susceptible email programs that some people use and raid the address book; then the worm is sent on, appearing to come from its victims and sent to people in the victim's address book. Other spammers go into any place where lots of email addresses are visible and collect them. Rootsweb actually does a very nice job intercepting and deleting virtually all spam that is sent to the individual lists. So, bottom line, use your delete button ... and do NOT click on attachments and begin to be leery of attached photos from people you don't know or obviously sent by spammers. They (the should-be-shot spammers) are about to have the ability to infect photographs (according to a recent article in the NY Times) ... they already can provide you with URLs to Web sites that once there will infect your computer. Now, let's NOT get into ANY discussion of spam, viruses or worms. This is a genealogy list and should be used only for genealogy. If you wish to respond on this topic to me, your List Owner, do so to my email address: jebarlow@uiuc.edu or jimibar@insightbb.com (don't hit reply ... or if you do, change the TO: line from the list to me.)

Susan; I know you work hard at the web site and I really appreciate your efforts. But it seems to me , it gets harder to find something. The original home page was great, easy to follow and find what you were looking for. I had a heck of a time finding my Barlow submission, and it has some thing I did not submit. #19 Thaddeus Barlow 4 (Aaron3, Adam2, Christopher1). I noticed that Vernon Barlow still has Joshua Barlow's death ca 1849, we know from the law suit of Fisher and other documents , he died in ca1836 or before.

Sorry bout that...tis as follows: "M True" <glasnant@glasnant.plus.com> In comparing our numbers at the Sorenson Database...I find that our family...Wendell Barlow ....and those who have a match to us are related to George W. Barlow of Cairo, NY...and to the Israel Barlow family....of whom I believe to be from the Edmund of Malden Barlow's. Can anyone tell me more about the Cairo (Green Co) NY Barlow's? I find very little information on the clearinghouse about them. Susan

I recieved this letter a few weeks ago and have been trying to open my mind to answering it...but it has been awhile since I worked in my own genealogy...thus I have forgotten some of the important things...not to mention...this DNA stuff is above my small intelligence! I am really interested and find that as fall is arriving..I want to really throw myself back into genealogy...but am so far behind at this point..don't even know where to start. First...I believe I had written to you all some time ago about the Sorenson Molecular Database...and I have submitted my own DNA for the same... For those of you who have done the DNA test for our own project...I would suggest that you compare your numbers to those on the database... http://smgf.org:8081/pubgen/site0.jsp The following letter refers to those numbers and if any of you could contact Mr. Eckersly and help him...and perhaps share with the rest of us your findings...I would surely be interested to hear also. I have added notes in ( )'s to Mr. Eckersley's letters.
