Dear Jean, I saw your postings with regard to your Francois ancestors coming from Corsica. I am researching Corsicans who emigrated to North America in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. I'd be grateful for further info on your ancestors for my project, would be happy to assist you with your research should you need any help, too. Sincerely, Carla Matra-Venezia Corsican-American Association, Los Angeles

I have not been able to find anything but a birth certificate and obit for my great grandfather. All were supposed to be buried in Biloxi city cemetary. No record there on graves, however, some records destroyed or not kept years ago. His son Francois Marin left NY and remarried in Mexico but lived in Corpus Christi Texas until he died in 1952. I only recently started to look for this side of the family and still learning how to dig for info. Have lots on my fathers side but hard going on the Marin side. I may be able to get some info from my Aunts and a couple of cousins that I just recieved addresses for. My mother doesn't remember very much as she was 16 when she last saw any of those here in MS. They must not have been on Social Security rolls after it came about, as I find none of them there, except for the children born to my grandfather. Do not know where Lake Mary is but will look into it. E-mail me at [email protected] ed

This may be of interest, Rosalie had a brother, Benjamin who must have moved to MS, because I found record of his death 5/24/1892 in Lake Mary, MS. I show that Benjamin and his son, Conrad, died on the same day, both in Lake Mary, MS. Not sure where Lake Mary is or how close it might be to Biloxi. My Baumgartner's, or part of them, seem to have just disappeared from New Orleans in the late 1800's, so now I wonder if some of them might have migrated to MS.

Klez: Don't Believe 'From' Line By Michelle Delio 2:00 a.m. April 30, 2002 PDT Some Internet users have recently received an e-mail message from a dead friend. Others have been subscribed to obscure mailing lists. Some have lost their Internet access after being accused of spamming, and still others have received e-mailed pornography from a priest. They're actually experiencing some of the stranger side effects of the Klez computer virus. These ersatz e-mails containing the virus are creating Klez-provoked arguments and accusations that are now spreading as fast as the worm itself. The latest variant of the Klez virus started spreading 10 days ago. The virus e-mails itself from infected machines using a bogus "From" address randomly plucked from all e-mail addresses stored on an infected computer's hard drive or network. Recipients of the virus-laden e-mails, not understanding that the "From" information is virtually always phony -- or even that they have received a virus -- have been clogging networks with angry and confused e-mails that are causing a great deal of cyber-havoc. People signing up for newsletters and mailing lists that they never subscribed to has been a major source of frustration for both users and the list owners. If Klez happens to send an e-mail "from" a user to an e-mail list's automatic subscribe address, the list software assumes the e-mail is a valid subscription request and begins sending mail to the user. A mailing list for fans of the Grammy Award-winning Steely Dan band has posted an explanation directed to those who were subscribed to the list by the virus. "We are not infected with the Klez virus. We don't know if you are infected with the Klez virus. You may be. But even if you are not, someone out there who is infected has both your address and our address on their computer ... and therein lies the problem," the explanation reads, in part. Even when users understand the source of newsletter-generated e-mails, the amount of mail some lists generate is causing problems. "Last week I suddenly started getting hundreds of e-mails, daily, with information about raising tropical fish, purchasing cosmetics and staying in youth hostels," Victor Montez, a sales rep for a publishing firm, said. "I do not keep fish, wear makeup or travel rough." Montez now understands the e-mails came from Klez-subscribed news lists. But he said that since his free e-mail account only stores a certain amount of messages, he's lost access to the account twice this week. He believes he's also lost a significant amount of business-related e-mails. "If this keeps up, I may end up having to stay in hostels and I'll have plenty of free time to devote to raising fish," he said. In some cases, it almost seems as if Klez is specifically targeting particularly vulnerable e-mail addresses onto which it can piggyback. E-mails containing an invitation to view what purports to be an attachment with pornographic images appears at first glance to have been sent out by Catholic parishes in New York and Maryland. The attachment actually contains the Klez virus, and tracing information indicates the e-mails were actually sent from an Internet service located in the United Arab Emirates. "While we would obviously never choose to have our churches' names affiliated with such material, this is a particularly difficult time to have e-mail with obscene references -- which appear to have been sent by church staff -- circulating," an archdiocese spokeswoman said, referring to the worldwide sex abuse scandal. Other newsletter owners are also suffering. Some say their Internet service providers have accused them of spamming non-members. Many ISPs cut service when they receive a certain amount of spam complaints. "I was reported to my ISP over a dozen times this week for spamming," said Keith Carlone, the manager of an e-mail newsletter for classic car enthusiasts. "My ISP threatened to pull my account after the third complaint and we went down shortly afterwards. It took four days to sort the problem out." Andrew Fiber, maintainer of a Jewish folk music mailing list, said that the list has been inundated with messages about widely off-topic subjects, so much so that Fiber wondered if most of his members had suddenly gone "meshuga (a little crazy)." But then Fiber began getting the complaints. "All of a sudden we had e-mails coming in from around the world, with people yelling we had sent them Klez," Fiber said. "The thing is that 'Klezmer' is a type of traditional folk music which we often discuss on the list and sometimes refer to as Klez. So I thought people were protesting about our folk music. It was very confusing for a while." Some users have even reported receiving spooky e-mails from deceased friends. "I belonged to a tattoo artists' list that closed down a few years ago. Last week, I began getting e-mails from the list. Even weirder, I got eight e-mails with subject lines that read 'SOS' and 'Eager to See You' from a list member who died last year. It totally creeped me out," said "Bear" Montego. Klez e-mails' subject lines are randomly chosen from a pre-programmed list of about 120 possibilities, including "Let's be friends," "Japanese lass' sexy pictures," "Meeting Notice," "Hi Honey" and "SOS." Klez also sends fake "returned" or "undeliverable" e-mails, advising the supposed sender that their original, refused e-mail is contained in the attachment. Clicking on the attachment triggers the virus. The virus can launch automatically when users click to preview or read e-mails bearing Klez on systems that have not been patched for a year-old vulnerability in Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express. Klez only affects PCs running Microsoft's Windows operating system. As of Monday afternoon, Klez's spread seems to have slowed, but antiviral experts warn that the worm will be around for a while. "Anytime you have a virus that is not easily identifiable visually, it tends to linger," Rod Fewster, Australian representative for antiviral application NOD32, said. "SirCam and Klez both vary the subject lines of the e-mails they send, which makes it hard for the average user to spot."

fast-spreading e-mail worm, possibly from Japan, is encircling the globe and flooding e-mail servers with excessive messages. Fbound ([email protected], also known as Zircon.C, DotJayPee, Fbound.b) is 12,288 bytes in length, and, unlike other recent worms, does not install itself on the infected machine but instead runs from memory. Mac and Linux users are not affected. Fbound is capable of sending large amounts of e-mail but does not damage or delete files on the infected computer. Because of the increasing reports of this worm around the world, Fbound currently ranks a 6 on the ZDNet Virus Meter. How it works Fbound arrives by e-mail with the subject line "Important." If the recipient's computer language is set to Japanese or if the recipient's e-mail address ends with .jp, the subject line is chosen from 16 Japanese-language subject lines contained within the worm. There is no body text associated with this worm. The attached file is named patch.exe. If the attached file is opened, Fbound locates the infected user's SMTP server and e-mail address. Then the virus loads itself into memory and sends copies of itself to addresses found in the Windows Address Book. Unlike many worms, Fbound doesn't install itself on an infected computer, nor does it add or change any registry files. Once the worm has been run, it will not run again. Because Fbound encodes all of its code into one line and does not comply with SMTP encoding, it may sometimes bounce e-mails it sends or arrive as a noninfectious e-mail. Code within Fbound contains the following message: "I-Worm.Japanize." Prevention Users of Microsoft Outlook 2002 and users of Outlook 2000 who have installed the Security Update should be safe from the attached EXE file in Fbound. Users who have not upgraded to Outlook 2002 or who have not installed the Security Update for Outlook 2000 should do so. In general, do not open e-mail attachments without first saving them to hard disk and scanning them with updated antivirus software. Contact your antivirus vendor to obtain the most current antivirus signature files that include Fbound. Removal Almost all of the antivirus software companies have updated their signature files to include this worm. This will stop the infection upon contact and in some cases will remove an active infection from your system. For more information, see Central Command, Computer Associates, F-Secure, Kaspersky (known here as Ziron.c),McAfee, Norman, Panda, Sophos, Symantec (known as Dotjaypee), and Trend Micro (known here as Fbound.b).

He was a merchant in St. Landry Parish. He was born about 1823 in France and emigrated to Louisiana before 1850. He married Meline Miller around 1850 in St. Landry Parish, LA. In the 1860 census, Charles is living next door to Theophile Francois, who was born in 1829 in France, and who, with his wife Mary Ann Curel (also born in France), lived in Mississippi about 1853. I believe it is likely that Charles and Theophile are related, but I have no proof of that. I am very interested in discovering when Charles Francois moved to Louisiana, and what part of France he came from. This could help me to find his parents. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Karen
