I have signed up alot of new people today,,,,I am excited about getting to know them. I have been asking for information on the New or updated reports that I am working on and I hope that I have full cooperation, This report will be very beneficial to anyone researching our surnames. Also remember I am always asking for new URL addresses that have todowith our surnames,,,to add to the Family Homepage. Anyway I hope everyone will welcome these new people with open arms and I like to think we have the best lists on the net, so lets try to be helpful to one another and respectful of one anothers privacy, at no time can anyone use any information in this emails without emailed permission from the other party. Thanks Awiusdi ( listowner )

Hi everyone, From now on if you have any warning etc that you have come accross and are concerned about, send them privately to me at fanatic@poncacity.net ( DO NOT POST THEM TO THE LIST) If anything of that nature is to be posted on the list I will do so myself. IWe have done so well getting along up to know and I intend to keep it that way. I am The Listowner and I am determined to keep this the best list on the web. Awiusdi

As Tony said, follow the simple rule--just don't open up any strange e-mail. Enough said.

Those of us on email lists seem to stampede easily. It's annoying when someone believes one of the "sky is falling" hoax letters and sends it on to 25 of their closest friends. However, people tend to also send the hoax (and they're all hoaxes) on to all the *mailing lists* they're on. One misguided person, in effect, spams 2-3,000 people at a time. This can have a disasterous effect on the equipment which routes the messages, as all the messages to all the lists come in at the same time. If more than one person is sending the hoax to a bunch of lists, they can bring down the servers and routers. The last big hoax nearly brought down RootsWeb. Brian and Karen, the RootsWeb owners had to work constantly to keep the genuine mail flowing. They don't deserve the grief. A year ago, a spammer did bring down the Maiser lists, some of you might remember that; we were without genealogy lists for several weeks. Good intentions don't count. Here's the site to check the next time somebody yells that the sky is falling: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html "Hoaxes described on this page: PKZ300, Irina, Good Times, Good Times Spoof, Deeyenda, Ghost PENPAL GREETINGS!, Make Money Fast, NaughtyRobot, AOL4FREE, Join the Crew, Death Ray, AOL V4.0 Cookie, A.I.D.S. Hoax, Internet Cleanup Day, Bill Gates Hoax, WIN A HOLIDAY" While you're there, read the page on chain letters - and don't send those on either. If you're going to pass something on, pass on the CIAC web site. Diane Hettrick dhettrick@earthlink.net

Betty, Let me ask you one question. Have you EVER received an email similar to the ones described in these "virus alerts"? Has anyone else on this mailing list received an email like this? I am a computer systems analyst, and I have worked in the computer industry for the past 14 years. I have worked on 12 different operating systems, and on computers all over North America. During my entire computer career, I have never encountered a virus. Now, as amazing as my career sounds <jk>, I have been using electronic mail (email) since 1989. I generally receive at least 150 email messages a day, and out of all of these messages, I have NEVER received an email similar to any of these virus alerts. In order for a virus to destroy information on your hard drive, the virus has to be executed, just like a program. A virus is software code, and software code can not automatically execute - the user has to execute it. So, if you receive an email that is tainted with a virus, UNLESS you open up the attachment that was sent with the email, nothing can happen to you. An email alone can not do anything to your computer. The only way a virus can attack, is if the user opens the attachment, and executes the virus. Therefore, these warnings are unnecessary. Again, if you follow the simple rule of not opening anything from anyone you don't know, you precious data will survive.

Right on, Tony. These bogus virus alerts are very annoying. Lois in Kansas City, MO

Does anyone out there have the maiden name of James Darnell's wives. James was born in MD (although some records show VA) in 1765. Dr. Smith's book says his wife's name was Eveline, but on a tombstone found next to James' it says, Mary, wife of James Darnell. We cannot figure out whether he actually had two wives or whether Dr. Smith got the name wrong. I have been trying to figure out this puzzle for 20 years and I hope someone will have the information for me. Thanks, Lois in Kansas City

Everyone - Please stop sending these so called virus warnings to the list server. 99% of the time these warnings are bogus Also, you will probably never, ever receive any of these types of emails with so called dangerous consequences attached. If you just follow the simple rule of not opening any email from any source that you don't recognize, we can quit having these virus warnings fill up our email in box.

Tony, I admit the "viruses are coming" messages can be annoying, but I'd rather be alerted of a possible problem rather than be caught unawares. Even though I use an anti-virus program, the information I store on my hard drive is important and I take any warning seriously. Personally, I say THANK YOU to the sender, for alerting me to a possible problem. For those who find these messages annoying, hit the delete button. Betty Cowdery

Is anyone familiar with the book The DARNALL, DARNELL FAMILY, Volume II by Dr. H.C. Smith, updated and compiled by Avlyn Dodd Conley? If so, what is your opinion of it, and is it available in any way? A "cousin" of mine has a copy of it, but I would like my own. Also, what are the differences between it and Volume I? Thanks for any info you might have on this subject.

I need information on Fendal B. DARNOLD, b.1805SC d.unk. He appears on the 1830 census for Pickens Co. SC. between the entries for Benton FREEMAN and Cannon STEPHENS. In the 1840 Pickens Co census his neighbors are Pearson MAYFIELD and Coleman SMITH. In 1850, 1860, and 1870, he appears in the Buncombe Co NC census as follows: [1850] 1323. DORNAL, F. B. 46 SC Sarah 35 William E. 9 James C. 7 [1860] 73.DARNOLD, F.B. 55 SC Sarah 44 SC Anderson 24 William 18 James 16 SC 74. Howard, Lucy 71 SC Margaret 28 Nancy 11 Ellen 8 Baylis 6 [1870] 41. DARNOLD, Fendal 65 SC Sarah A. 53 Howard , Lucy 81 NC Henderson,Deborah 29 SC Henry 12 NC Sarah A. 9 NC James E. 6 NC Amense C. 2 NC I think Fendal and Sarah DARNOLD were parents of my ancestor Deborah (unk.) Henderson (b.c.1839SC) whose husband Ezekiel Henderson (b.c.1833SC) died as a prisoner of war in 1865. Any help in identifying the Darnolds would be greatly appreciated. JoAnn <ImNot911@aol.com>

Hi Awiusdi, I took this question to my neighborhood list (PSRoots) because there are a *bunch* of experienced genealogists on the list. They said - absolutely legit and very often quite valuable. Yates advertises in the Genealogical Helper. He collects family group sheets from people like us and then groups them by surname and resells them. It's the same thing we can now do more efficiently, perhaps, on the net, but he's been doing it for years. The charge is because of the overhead for postage, advertising, etc. He actually has a shop that one of my cyberbuddies had visited. So yes, it would be valuable to get the Darnell info he has collected.

Hello all: I was wondering if anyone had information about the plantation His Lordships Kindness? I went to a web page and all I found was the following message: Tour his Lordships Kindness, one of two structures in Prince Georges County designated as a National Historic Landmark. Constructed in 1787 by Robert Darnell on the original 1703 grant from Lord Baltimore to Colonel Henrey Darnell-Robert Darnells grandfather. Visit the historic Georgian Mansion, out building and beautiful gardens to learn more about the history of the estate and the families who lived there. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at TJOHN43891@aol.com

I was wondering if any one has access to "The Darnall, Darnell Family" book, Vol I? I am looking for information on Jacob Lampley marrying Eliza Darnell in Franklin Co., IL. Someone that has Vol 2 looked, and it had information on other Lampley's marrying Darnells, but not those two. Thanks, Martha.

Thank you to those who are willing to participate in providing a reference sheet on the reference material they have concerning our family surname. I think this is an excellent idea and I want to be sure and get copies myself of anything, all of you have. I will work on my reference sheets today and I hope you will do the same.
