Hi everyone, This is to let you know that you need to be on the lookout for viruses. The BadTrans is going around again (still??) and, earlier, I had to remove 2 subscribers because they were infected. I do not want this to now become the topic of discussion. If you want, you can e-mail me privately on this. I have, as of this evening received 4 infected e-mails, from 3 different people, so it is VERY important that we do discuss this now. But please remember if you want to discuss it further, contact me off-list. The following is from the Symantec.com (NORTON ANTI-VIRUS) website, found here....... http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected] ml [email protected] Discovered on: November 24, 2001 Last Updated on: November 24, 2001 at 12:19:48 PM PST [email protected] is a MAPI worm that emails itself out as one of several different file names. This worm also drops a backdoor trojan that logs keystrokes. This worm arrives as an email with one of several attachment names and a combination of two appended extensions. The list of possible file names is: HUMOR DOCS S3MSONG ME_NUDE CARD SEARCHURL YOU_ARE_FAT! NEWS_DOC IMAGES PICS The first extension that is appended to the file name is one of the following: .DOC .MP3 .ZIP The second extension that is appended to the file name is one of the following: .pif .scr The resulting file name would look something like this: CARD.DOC.PIF NEWS_DOC.MP3.SCR etc. When executed, this worm copies itself as kernel32.exe in the "\windows\system" directory. It then adds the following registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Kernel3 2=kernel32.exe. Prevention methods: 1. Corporate email filtering systems should block all email that have attachments with the extensions .scr and .pif. 2. Users should not open any emails with an attachment that matches the names listed above. Any email that has such an attachment should be deleted. Removal instructions: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions. 2. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and make sure that NAV is configured to scan all files. For instructions on how to do this, read the document How to configure Norton AntiVirus to scan all files. 3. Run a full system scan. 4. Delete all files that are detected as [email protected] 5. Remove the registry value listed above. DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS FROM ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW! I would recommend for everyone, if they don't already, to get some type of anti-virus protection for your computer. There are really good ones out there, and some are even free, so please, protect yourselves! BadTrans is sneaky, it will appear as a response to an e-mail you sent, since it replys to unanswered mail. Remember, you will NEVER receive an attachment from RootsWeb............they come from the individuals computer that has become infected. Most of the time, they are not even aware that they have it. And also remember that there are SEVERAL different versions of BadTrans, this is only one. PLEASE watch out for yourselves. If anyone needs help finding anti-virus software, or if you have any questions, please contact me OFF list.

I don't know if you have seen this or not, or if anyone is interested, but thought I'd pass this along, just in case! :-) Diana [email protected] Subject: [ARK] Free DAR Lookups http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HST.2ACIB/205 Dear All: Some volunteers from the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution ( DAR) and the DAR message board have established a wonderful new program for users of Rootsweb. These volunteers will do lookups in their database and records if you think one of your ancestors served in some capacity during the American Revolution. These volunteers have more databases that are available to them than the ones commonly used by the search engines. A recent check has verified that there has been at least one patriot of this family served in the American Revolution. The process to check on the details of the verified patriot or someone else that you are interested in is fairly simple : You can then also find out if others have become DAR members by using that Ancestor. This may show you other descendants ( cousins and also may provide some documentation that you may be able to use in your application! Go to the DAR message board: There are two ways to do that: www.rootsweb.com message boards topics organizations and societies DAR Or if you want the easy way :-) http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.dar Address your message as follows: subject : DAR Lookup > surname> location > dates In the body of the message put the information regarding the person that you are interested in. Be sure to fill out the surnames box at the bottom since the new search engine will be keying on that item. Leave the email response box checked and you will be notified when the DAR volunteers respond . Give them a week or so to get to your request. We really appreciate their efforts. This info can be key for: a: joining these prestigious organizations ( DAR & SAR) b: sending a request for the copies of the files that were submitted and the information they have available. Many thanks to: Glenda Thompson DAR VIS Volunteer Vice Chrm. Patriot Lookup for organizing this effort and all the many volunteers that are donating their time and effort to us instead of pursuing their own ancestors, Best Regards John A Hansen DAR board admin. BTW: Please forward this message to other lists and boards that each of you are involved in. A word of thanks to each volunteer that does this work and especially the one that responds to your post would probably be highly appreciated. ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.

Hi Kathy, Basically the list is about the trade of blacksmithing, and our ancestors who worked in that trade. Any, and all aspects of it. If it pertains to blacksmithing in any way, then you're in the right place! :-) Diana [email protected] List mom for the ACHOR, ACHORD, AR-CIVIL-WAR, AR-RAILROADS, AR-SAWMILLS, ARKANSAS, BLACKSMITHING, CANCER-SUPPORT, COUNTRY-MUSIC, ESSEX, FLINT-KNAPPING, KID-CRAFTS, LAKEY, OBER, PEOPLES, SHATSWELL, STODGHILL, TELEVISION, VILLINES, VIOLIN-MAKERS, WOODWORKERS and WORZ mailing lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kathy hamby" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 12:12 PM Subject: [BLACKSMITHING] Schmitshausen Germany hello everyone, i'm new to this list and i'm wondering what it's about. my German ancestors were apparently mostly all Blacksmiths in Germany. they even lived in the above village, which i'm told translates to many Blacksmith's houses. their name was Peter born 1800 and Adam born 1835, VOLLMAR. they immigrated to the US in 1854 and settled at first in Ohio then moved to Indiana. the other one Adam BAER born 1861 was one also he was in Wilm.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that if you have posted a message to the list today, November 18th, and have not seen it come through to the list, you will need to re-post it. Rootsweb was down today and all messages posted during the last 12 hours have been lost. Fortunately, this problem has been taken care of and things are now back to normal! :-) Take care, Diana [email protected] List mom for the ACHOR, ACHORD, AR-CIVIL-WAR, AR-RAILROADS, AR-SAWMILLS, ARKANSAS, BLACKSMITHING, CANCER-SUPPORT, COUNTRY-MUSIC, ESSEX, FLINT-KNAPPING, KID-CRAFTS, LAKEY, OBER, PEOPLES, SHATSWELL, STODGHILL, TELEVISION, VILLINES, VIOLIN-MAKERS, WOODWORKERS and WORZ mailing lists.

I have been researching ancestors in Italy that were all blacksmiths. I don't know about England or other countries, but it certainly was a family trade in my line (over 100 years). Because the occupation was listed on vital records (birth, marriage, death) it has been a helpful clue for distinguishing my line from others with the same surname. Not only was the trade passed from fathers to sons, the sons tended to marry daughters of other blacksmiths. As to apprenticeship, I don't know but I doubt it--more likely, working in the fathers' shops may have been their apprenticeships. In some cases, especially in larger families, younger sons moved to other towns and established their businesses--I assume because the blacksmithing "market" in the hometown was already saturated by their father's and brothers' businesses. Some of those ancestors immigrated to the USA and ended up working not as blacksmiths but in related areas, such as building railroads or settling near iron! mining towns. I too, would appreciate some basic information about blacksmithing back then... the very limited research I have seen has been enlightening. It was, of course, more than shoeing horses! So many things in the homes, from candlesticks to kitchen utensils, came from the blacksmith's shop. Donna CaliforniaGet more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

Hi list, my grandparent were only married for one year in 1920, so I have very little information on my grandfather's family. My grandfather's name was James Fredrick KNIGHT and his father was Herbert KNIGHT a blacksmith about 1890's Middlesex, England. I assume that a blacksmith is the same as blacksmithing? I wonder if someone could please tell me if it ran in families as a trade or did people have an apprenticeship? If it did run in families, would the family stay in the same area, for example Middlesex? I would be grateful if someone could please give me some basic information about blacksmithing. Thank you. Jean England

Henderson O'Neal was listed as occupation Blacksmith. He was my great grandfather. He lived a long time in NC, then Arkansas. His son, Zack R. O'Neal was my grandfather and was a Millwright. He set up sawmills along the route of the Arkansas Southern Railroad. As for blacksmithing running in families, I don't know. It appears it was a lucrative trade. Emma in NM

My great-grandfather was a blacksmith from County Tipperary, Ireland. He first settled in St Louis and worked for Anheuser-Busch as the foreman on thier estate. He was in charge of the Clydesdales, as he was the farier. Later, he moved to Chicago where he again continued his trade. This would have been between the years 1895-1935. He is also listed in the 1910 Chicago City Directory as Michael J Hogan-horseshoer. Anyone have any info on any of this or hope this helps someone. Dan Hogan
