Looking for place of burial for William M. WINKLES born June 1831, died 1912 Polk Co GA. Also looking for information on Gus and Carrie (b: 1875) MCKIBBIN who are found living next door to William M. WINKLES in 1900 Polk Co GA. According to the obituary of Lucinda WINKLES PITTS (d: 1936 Cherokee Co AL), dau. of William M. WINKLES, she had a sister "Mrs. McKIBBINS" of Cedartown, GA. Census records don't show a sister name Carrie though. Don't have many Polk Co Ga resources here so would appreciate any help. Thanks! Nicole Pinson

Silas TANNER married Sarah Adalene JOHNSON, Book A, page 163 Polk Co., GA 7/5/1860. The date would have been appropriate for the parents of my gr grandfather, variously listed as John Thomas TANNER or John Robert TANNER. Sarah A TANNER has turned up on the 1880 Cherokee Co, AL census with 6 children. I believe these are the same women. If anyone has information on this couple or either one of them, please let me know. Thanks, Patsy -- http://home.earthlink.net/~davisdwd ICQ #15893205

Alfred Columbus KISER (b. abt 1830, NC) appeared in the 1870 Paulding Co., GA census along with his wife Cynthia (b. abt 1834, GA) and a yard-full of kids. (He was incorrectly identified as Albert) From there, they migrated to NW AL where we live now. I'm asking for help in locating more info. on Alfred and Cynthia. I belive her surname to be HOOPER. I need someone to check Polk Co. for their marriage record and a HOOPER will naming Alfred Columbus Kiser and/or Cynthia. I have already checked Paulding for these records. Thanks for the help.

I have received several copies of the HAPPY99 VIRUS (or WORM) from email that was sent to ROOTSWEB MAILING LIST over the last few days. Please read the follwing message. D. Scott Dingler Listowner I borrowed this explanation from my colleague who has the SCROOTS list. He is a computer guru. Please read carefully. DO NOT SEND ANY MESSAGES TO THE LIST ABOUT THIS PLEASE!!! NOTE: This warning is the exception to the rule. Do not follow this as and example and start sending virus warnings to the forum. This type of message is OFF TOPIC in the forum, unless posted by the Forum Manager. I've recently received several emails from various people containing an attached file named HAPPY99.EXE. Some of these were from Forum members. Some were addressed to the Forum, but they were blocked by our automatic screening program. The HAPPY99.EXE program is a WORM. See below for more information about what that means. If you receive a message with that file attached don't execute it - delete it immediately. _______________________ VirusName: Happy99.Worm Aliases: Trojan.Happy99, I-Worm.Happy Description: This is a worm program, NOT a virus. This program has reportedly been received through email spamming and USENET newsgroup posting. The file is usually named HAPPY99.EXE in the email or article attachment. When being executed, the program also opens a window entitled "Happy New Year 1999 !!" showing a firework display to disguise its other actions. The program copies itself as SKA.EXE and extracts a DLL that it carries as SKA.DLL into WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. It also modifies WSOCK32.DLL in WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and copies the original WSOCK32.DLL into WSOCK32.SKA. WSOCK32.DLL handles internet-connectivity in Windows 95 and 98. The modification to WSOCK32.DLL allows the worm routine to be triggered when a connect or send activity is detected. When such online activity occurs, the modified code loads the worm's SKA.DLL. This SKA.DLL creates a new email or a new article with UUENCODED HAPPY99.EXE inserted into the email or article. It then sends this email or posts this article. If WSOCK32.DLL is in use when the worm tries to modify it (i.e. a user is online), the worm adds a registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce=SKA.EXE The registry entry loads the worm the next time Windows start. Removing the worm manually: 1. delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE 2. delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL 3. replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA 4. delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE Safe Computing: This worm and other trojan-horse type programs demonstrate the need to practice safe computing.

I am looking for any information or connections to the Jackson Moore family in Polk County after the Civil War. They first turn up on the 1870 census with Jackson,47 and his wife Hannah (EWING),45 and their children living at home: James,24, Jackson,20, John, 16, Sara A., 17, Owen, 14 and William, 10. Younger Jackson married Elmira Josephine Kinney in 1872. They have 12 children. They are buried in Old Stewart Cemetery in Polk County. William marries Mary Ida Wilson Sarah A. marries Hitchcock Older brother Robert lives next door and is married to Amanda Bradshaw. They are buried in Old Stewart Cemetery in Polk County. This family is not in Polk County in 1860. In 1850, they are in Henry County. Has anyone heard of this family or maybe have ancestors who married into this family? Would love to connect with someone on this family!

It has been awhile since I went on the hunt for these folks, thought I would try again. Looking for any information or family ties to POLK COUNTY families of PITTMAN, ISBELL, and HACKNEY. John Eli PITTMAN was born somewhere in Georgia on October 25, 1840 to (as yet) unknown parents. He married Carolyn Hazeltine HACKNEY 20 December 1869 in Polk County. Carolyn was born on 12 December 1852 to John W. (Billy) HACKNEY and Mary Francis LOCKETT. John HACKNEY and Mary LOCKETT were married in Talliferro County on 25 March 1850. John Eli PITTMAN and Carolyn H. HACKNEY's eldest daughter was Autha Emmett PITTMAN, born 19 July 1871 in Polk County. She married Sampson Jeremiah ISBELL on 13 February 1890 in Cedartown, Polk County. Sampson Jeremiah was the son of Jeremiah M. ISBELL and Matilda Ann WADE. I have considerable information on the ISBELL family due to the generosity of many wonderful family researchers. I am, however, still struggling on the PITTMAN and HACKNEY lines. Please tell me we are related! Lila
