Starting today (Monday, 6/10) and extending over several days, RootsWeb is going to be moving the list servers and other machines. No messages sent are expected to be lost, but the lists will be down for a while when it happens; during this time, please don't post "why am I not getting mail"....you will get your mail when the system comes back up, and you don't want half of it to be everyone on the list asking why aren't they getting mail. If you have trouble reaching other RW servers this week, it's probably for the same reason; try again in an hour or two or three..... Kathleen Burnett List Mom

THE HIDDEN CLUES IN GUARDIANSHIP BONDS by Richard A. Pence richardpence@pipeline.com http://www.pipeline.com/~richardpence/ The researcher was becoming frustrated by her inability to discover the maiden name of her ancestor Mary, the wife of Anthony KELLER. "All I have been able to find out," she lamented on a surname mailing list, "is that Anthony's second wife made life so miserable for Mary's two boys that they were forced to go back to Ohio to live with their Uncle Bill." When someone asked how she was able to learn that, here is the story she told: Anthony's wife Mary died, leaving two small boys, Philip, age five, and George, age three. About a year later, in 1847, Anthony remarried to a woman named Sally and the following spring the family moved from Ohio to Indiana. Our researcher discovered that in February of 1850, Anthony's brother William, who remained in Ohio, had been made the guardian of Philip and George, "children of Anthony KELLER" (the word "orphans" had been crossed out and "children" inserted in the record). "That second wife actually drove them out of the house!," our researcher declared. When another family researcher pointed out that Philip and George were enumerated with their father and stepmother in Indiana in both 1850 and 1860, our researcher wrote this off by saying the boys were "probably just visiting" in the summer. We all know guardianship bonds are important genealogical sources. Often, in the case of the early death of a parent, they provide the only proof of the link from one generation to the next. Additionally, an understanding of the reason for such records can also help solve other knotty genealogical mysteries. One of the perplexing things for many researchers is that a family might exist without one of the parents for a considerable period -- even several years -- and then, suddenly, the names of the children appear in the guardianship bond book and they now have a court-appointed legal guardian. Why? Why the long delay? Why suddenly is there a need for a guardian for the orphans of a man or a woman who has been dead for a half dozen years? Was the surviving spouse just too busy to get around to doing a required legal chore? Or were the children actually being maltreated by the surviving parent? What is going on? An important thing to understand is that when a person was appointed the guardian of a minor child (generally any child under age 21), the reason is not to place the guardian in charge of rearing of the child. "Bound boys and girls" are the ones who are placed in the charge of others. Guardians have a different responsibility, that of protecting the material assets of their wards. Therein lies the answer to the question, "Why now?" What a guardianship bond silently tells us is that some recent event had triggered the need for a guardian. Some new event may mean the children are about to acquire some property. For example, one reason for the sudden need to have a guardian for the children might be that a widow has decided to remarry. Now it has become necessary to protect the children's property rights in their father's estate from the "clutches" of their new stepfather. So one of the first things you should do is check the marriage bonds for that time frame. If the widow did remarry, knowing who she married might enable you to track the family's later moves, for example. It gets better. Let us consider the case of "the unwanted stepchildren" who were "adopted by their Uncle Bill." Our researcher saw the record and thought of it in terms of an adoption proceeding, thus missing the real message in the record. The reason for a guardian surely had to be that some outside event had made it necessary. It is this triggering event that might have told our researcher how to solve the mystery of the maiden name of Anthony's wife Mary. For, you see, Philip and George were about to come into some money. Therefore, they needed a guardian to look after their interests. The family was way off in Indiana, so it was decided that Anthony's brother William back in Ohio was the one to look after things -- because he was where "the action" was. "The action" was this: Mary's father had died intestate (without a will). Since Mary's mother was already deceased, this meant that Mary and her siblings were each entitled to an equal share of the father's estate. Since Mary also was deceased, her two sons were, by law, each entitled to half of her share. So, while the guardianship record didn't actually say that Uncle William was going to be keeping track of how Mary's father's estate was being administered, it should have alerted our researcher to the fact that "Something recently happened to trigger this action." And what triggered the activity probably was not the "wicked stepmother." Once you have this clue, then it is time to start looking at the other county records for the "trigger" -- in particular, the contemporary estate records. You can now focus your search, making it relatively easy to discover that among the heirs of Alexander WILEY, who died in late 1849, is "Mary KELLER, deceased, leaving two sons in Indiana." There are still other clues in guardianship records and these, too, must be properly interpreted. Sometimes, for example, you will encounter a record that says, "George Jones, age 14, orphan of Samuel Jones, chose Adam Jones as his guardian." In most jurisdictions, once a child reached age 14, he or she had the legal right to choose his or her own guardian. Thus, in the absence of a specified age, a person who has chosen his or her own guardian can be presumed to be at least 14 years old. However, the words "age 14" in such a record may not mean that the child was age 14 at the time. What they often mean is that he or she is AT LEAST age 14 and thus is entitled to choose his or her own guardian. As you become more experienced, your eye will discover even more hidden messages in guardianship records. What, for instance, could be the reason one of the children in the family is not mentioned in any of the guardianship records? When the mother is made the guardian is it relevant when the record says "the orphans of her deceased husband" and DOES NOT say something like "her minor children"? Is there a story behind why the bond says "orphan and sole heir" rather than just "orphan"? (There sure can be!) The lesson is that even a supposedly brief and direct record such as a guardianship bond can contain within it the answer to a completely different puzzle.

Hi, Is anyone doing research on a Matthew PARRIS, b. c1815 & his wife Euphemia, b. c1817? Both are buried in Hollywood Cem., Harrington, Kent Co., DE. Also, buried there are: PARRIS, John W.; b. 1841 - d. 1911 (son?) (husband of Louisa) PARRIS, John W.; b. 1864 - d. 1899 (grandson?) PARRIS, John W.; b. 1882 - d. 1963 (g-grandson?) (husband of Mary S.) Am I correct in assuming, who is the son, grandson & g-grandson? Could anyone do a lookup for me in Kent Co., DE in any of the Census Records from 1850-1880 for the above PARRIS'. I understand Matthew PARRIS was living in Caroline Co., MD in the 1850 Census. A lookup in the Caroline Co. Census for 1850 would be great, too! I'm interested in any census lookup that might be able to help me straighten out these "Johns." Thank you very much for any info you could give me! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Good intentioned people send along warnings they have received about viruses. Recently, we've received several warnings on our genealogy lists that have been hoaxes, sometimes suggesting actions we should take which will screw up our computers. There are very simple ways that we can all use to easily check to determine whether a warning is about a real virus or if we have been sent a hoax message. Following are addresses to web sites you can go to in order to see if you have received a real or a hoax virus warning. Or whether other chain mail messages you receive are valid. If we each were to use them before sending along warnings to large numbers of people then we would know when someone is trying to trick us all into sending along useless messages that use up internet/server space, or even to do something to our computers to injure them. BASIC HOW-TO INFORMATION: Each of the following websites has a place to type in search words. A good place to start when you are trying to come up with what words to put in the search blank is with the key words from the subject heading of the virus warning message you received, or type in the name of the virus that is listed in the message. If these don't pull up anything, type in words from the message that stand out when you read it. Sometimes the virus warnings or other content from chain e-mail messages will be verified as true; sometimes the information will be found to be false. Then, you will know if you should pass the information on. THE WEBSITES DEDICATED TO HELPING US LEARN ABOUT REAL AND FALSE VIRUS WARNINGS: The Urban Legends site: http://www.snopes2.com is my favorite place to start determining whether a warning is real or a hoax. I can find most things I am looking for on this site. While I have found Urban Legends usually has the reports I have searched for, sometimes, it has not yet gotten to a new warning before I receive it. (Or I just did not pick out the right words from the e-mail message to use in my search!) Then I go to some of these other sites to see if the warning is there. Usually, when a warning is not posted on one of the webpages dedicated to keeping us informed about whether a virus or other warning is real or not, it will be on another site. Some sites are more inclined to concentrate on virus warnings and to not be as concerned about other chain e-mail. This is because the other kinds of hoaxes (messages with health warnings, stalker/chain murderer warnings, messages that tell you to send the message on to others to earn money for a charity, etc.) cannot screw up your computer. BUT IT DOES CLOG UP THE INTERNET, SLOWING DOWN SERVICE FOR ALL OF US, AND SOMETIMES CAUSING A SERVER TO CRASH. Here are some other really good sites to check out warnings/chain e-mail: A company named F-Secure (formerly called Datafellows) sells virus protection products to corporations. It maintains its warning website as a service both to the companies who buy their products and to us regular guys for free. Their hoax address is: http://www.datafellows.com/news/hoax/ The Dept. of Energy also maintains an excellent website to keep us informed about real and hoax warnings: http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/ Oxcart Software maintains a site called HoaxKill which is easy to use. Like Urban Legends, it deals with more than virus hoaxes; it also includes categories of chain mail that clog up the internet, waste senders' and readers' time, and are just generally a pain in the butt. Their address is: http://www.hoaxkill.com./ Semantec is another internet security company (like F-Secure). (I think they might be the owners of the Norton products, but I'm not sure.) In any event, they, too, maintain a good virus warning site to let us know if a warning is real or not. To get to their main pages, go to: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ To get to the list of hoax viruses, scan down to the bottom of the page and click on "Hoaxes". Semantec also will scan your computer for free to see if you have any viruses. I've never used this service since I maintain my computer security with McAfee, so I don't know how long it would take to use theirs. I'm sure you will have to download some software onto your machine which will take a little while, so do it when you have some time! Semantec will not, however, fix your files if it finds infected ones; it will just tell you which ones are infected. To get rid of the virus/viruses, you will need a current anti-virus software program (such as McAfee which you can get online and update regularly online) (and, I'm sure Semantec must have such a program for sale, too). You can get to Semantec's virus check service by going to the mainpage address above and check on "Free online virus and security check". V-Myth is a very interesting site. It is not maintained by a company or a government site. It first got started with a couple of folks who wanted to let people know the truth about virus warnings in the late 1980s. I think they must get their money from advertisements on their site, but I don't know for sure. Still, they have good stuff and you can get to them from: http://www.vmyths.com/ They also ask you to send them copies of the hoax messages you have received so they can keep their research updated. I hope this information is helpful so that we can find out for ourselves whether we should be worried about a virus warning and whether we should pass the information along! Let's arm ourselves to eliminate spreading false warnings!

Subject: Virus I received this note this morning. I found this virus in my file and deleted it. Please do the same to prevent damage to your computer. The person who sent this to me apologises for the inconvenience. It is very important that you do this! We have unwittingly just been infected with a virus from someone's email. This virus sends itself to all the addresses in the address book of the computer it has arrived at. Since you are in our address book, it will get to you. Take the time and remove it now - the instructions are easy to follow and we got rid of the virus in about 30 seconds. Some versions of anti virus software including Norton and Inoculate T have not been able to detect it. It is said that the virus hides in the computer for 2 weeks and then damages the dist irreparably. The virus is called sulfnbk.exe. Many apologies for the trouble this is causing. 1. Go to "Start" and click on "find." 2. In the box "find files or folders" write sulfnbk.exe (the name of the virus). 3. Make sure you are searching in the C-Drive (check in the box marked "Search in"). 4. Click on Find or Search. 5. If the file is found you will see an ugly black icon with the name sulfnbk.exe. The file is a program. DO NOT OPEN IT!!! If it does appear, try the same procedure again. 6. Click on the RIGHT button of the mouse, on the file, and then click on delete with the LEFT button of the mouse. 7. You will be asked if you want to send the file to the wastebasket. Respond YES. 8. Go to the Desktop (where all the icons are), open the wastebasket and eliminate the file, manually or by emptying the entire wastebasket. 9 If you find this virus in your computer, send this email to all the people in your address book, because the virus is transmitted in this way. If you don't warn them, aside from ruining their hard disk, it will come back to you if you are in their address book. Once again, apologies.
