Hello List I have left my earlier postings below, and have made some advances in my research, which (naturally!!) leads to more questions. Question 1: Barbys Hill? Barbies Hill?? I have scoured the Google map for Barbados, but have had no luck! Maybe its name has changed?? Question 2: Where would birth, death and marriage records between 1928 and 1942 be held please?? I am I correct in saying these dates are on the "cusp" and some would be at the Barbados Registration Department and some would be at the Barbados Department of Archives? The parents of the gentleman in my earlier enquiry (born in 1937) were Stanley Beresford LYNCH born in (the parish of ??) Christchurch and Miriam Arnester LYNCH, formerly McLEAN, born Barbys Hill . I am not sure of the correct spelling of this location, or the middle name Arnester. Stanley LYNCH (also known as Leonard LYNCH) was a mason by profession. Miriam LYNCH died about 1942. I have not had any success with telephoning the Barbados Registration Department, but once I sort out the place names above I'll try again, in writing, hopefully with more success, and have also sent an email enquiry to the Barbados Department of Archives, meanwhile any ideas and assistance would be very welcome.

Hello Marg. I am pretty sure that the reference is to Barbarees Hill in St. Michael. It is my belief that the area is named after a family which is in Barbados from at least 1690, the first seemingly a John BARBARIE, though the spelling evolved over time. All BMD records up to 1930 have been microfilmed, and the films can be viewed at any LDS Family History Centre. Anything after 1930 would be at the Registry Department. If you can get to a Family History Centre you should be able to search the microfilm records yourself for the parents as their birth records should be on microfilm, now that you know the 2 parishes to concentrate on. Their marriage though may be after 1930 and that would most likely be at the Registry. Make sure to check the variant spellings of McClean, McCleen etc. Unfortunately I have nothing on either of them. I checked Lynch burials on the Barbados tombstones website and can find nothing that matches. Good luck with your search.

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home Not much West Indian info yet but worth watching as they are apparently putting many records online with images. I've found death certificates, marriage licenses, censuses and etc for my Markoe clan.

Hi Heather....well I guess it's time for a change Thanks for your suggestions, I'm checking up on them now have already loaded the malware program. Thanks and hope things goe well ChrisCod

Hi Chris........ I still keep my hand in on the anti-virus and anti-malware groups so will suggest a free program that is invaluable. MBAM (MalwareBytesAnti-Malware). I run it every couple of days. I no long use AdAware or Spybot (they both got bloated) but still keep Spywareblaster on here. It just sits on the desktop and is supposed to stop spyware from landing on your computer. It doesn't run as well without Spybot S & D on here, but that one was taking way too long to scan. AVG is not getting such good reviews any more. I have used another freebie called Avast! for a couple of years now. I will provide the links for all of the above. I am quite happy with Avast, but have to admit the interface can be a bit confusing when I go to run a manual scan (don't worry, it auto-updates). http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MBAM http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ SPYWAREBLASTER http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download AVAST AV Hope this helps, but I highly urge all of you to download MBAM, update it and run it. Only takes about 4 minutes on this machine and I find it to be one of the very best. But no one antivirus or antimalware program gets ALL of the spyware, etc. Cheers.........Heather "CM Codrington" <cmcod@optimum.net> wrote in message news:mailman.177.1264734384.1999.caribbean@rootsweb.com... > > > To all of you on the list: > > I'm pleased we found the problem and in the process were delivered a > detailed reminder of why effective security starts with each of us.

Ann The same thing happened to my wife's email account about a month ago, but not mine, and she's not on the Carib list. The same kind of messages, the same hijacking of address book. I never figured out exactly how it happened, or why it didn't happen to my account, run from the same computer, but I bought a new antispyware program and it hasn't happened again. No apologies necessary. To me, it's not a big inconvenience to hit 'delete.' -----Original Message----- From: Ann Q <aqw8326@hotmail.com> To: caribbean-l@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, Jan 28, 2010 2:10 pm Subject: [Carib] This one is really from me All, Let me begin by saying that I am sorry for the inconvenience any/all have encountered due to this "problem".Secondly, I have not contacted you until now, because I wanted to find out what I needed to do, and not follow my knee-jerk reaction, and say it is not me.I emerged from a two day 102 degree flu coma, to discover I had 26 email that were undeliverable, knew I didn't send them and there was no one else in the house, so I blamed the cat, and deleted them. Later that day my 15 year old granddaughter asked me why I sent her an email for cheap Viagra, and the light bulb turned on.Using her computer I researched the solution, and followed the instruction from Microsoft.FYI,, I run 3 virus-scans at all times, can't use my computer after 11pm, because they start at midnight and run, one after the other until 5 am. I also have an additional one that at all times that will alert me at once. I do not have a facebook, my space, I do not twit or IM and I very seldom 'forward' an email, as a matter of fact, it is one of my pet peeves. I have a McAfee website alert, that will tell me if a site is ok. I think I have done my due diligence. Still this happened. Any so, per instructions, I did 3 full scans and found nothing, All I know is that my email contact list has been 'jacked!The other advise is to change my user name and passwords. With the ones I can remember, I did, however, that made me angry, I feel cornered, and all I want to do is hunker down in the tall grass and wait to get them, guess I am human after all. What I have decided to do is, continue to use my old user name, everyone that I am in contact with, know it, But you also know that I never contact you without a reason, so there will ALWAYS be something in the subject line.You also know why I contact you, is it personal, genealogy, gardening, etc. so if you see something from me that does not jive, please scan it if you can and report it to your email customer service, or delete it. I would also ask, if you can remember, let me know what other user name, other than Ann Q, you received this crap from, it will help me change those usernames. Again, I am so, so very sorry that this happened, and so, so very ANGRY. ANN Ps, I am doing some other things, that I can not discuss, but I am trying my best to fis, it,I would advise all to run a deep virus and malware scan"Sharing the information."

Hi, all, I never got the message that is the subject of this discussion. But if you don't mind my comments.... As moderator of the Saint-Domingue List, I sometimes get notifications from Roots Web, of messages from non-subscribers. Frequently the NON SUBSCRIBER is <saint-domingue-l@ etc>.... the very list I am moderating! I delete it & block the offending e-mail address, but STILL occasionally get junk supposedly from that e-dress. I have asked Rootsweb if I can do anything about this, but never got an answer back. Roots Web DOES seem to catch all of the junk mail, before it posts to the list, though. Spammers will try everything, won't they? Warmest regards, Augusta PS.

I know that this is off subject, but I am concerned by what this may have done to anyone that may have opened one of these emails. I don't know how I got this, but I do know it came thru a trusted site or group. I was concerned that it might have installed a keystroke tracker on my computer!! That would have compromised my personal and banking info, though they are on a separate partition of my hard drive. Turned out that was not the case, (The ancestors are protecting), I have saved all of the notifications on a folder, and working with Microsoft to send them to them. Since I don't know how it worked, I recommend doing a deep scan for spyware, malware and virus'. I have gotten quite an education on computer security in the past few days.
