It seems as if the latest virus problem has calmed down, but it would only take one or two of you opening an attachment with a virus to set it off again. It is not over, but it has calmed down. Just this morning I received another on - and did as I suggest you do DELETED IT. Please remember: DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENT unless you know 100% what it is and who is from and have run a virus scan on it. I don't care how inviting the subject line is, "homepage", "Read this", "The Docs you ask for", etc. . Also please remember that this virus is not being spread via Rootsweb, but is being spread via attachments that are being sent out by rootsweb members. If you want additional information on what a virus is go to http://ca.com/virusinfo/faq.htm it is an informative site. If you don't have a good Virus Scan, I use Norton Anti virus, you need to get one that you trust and fast. If you are not sure what kind to get, you might want to join the virus discussion list to get additional information on the different programs.

I also appreciated your willingness to do all that is necessary to help me fight the problem. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

I'm seeking information on Thomas Dyer, who married Cora Benge 6/18/1902 in Walker Co. GA. Cora was my grandfather's aunt. I have a postcard dated 1908 from Cora to my grandfather showing her house in Columbus, GA, with her holding her infant son on the front porch. Any info appreciated. Vicki Hill

Sheila, I think what has thrown me into the Walker Co., is the Probate Docket. He may have never left Whitfield and both William and Nancy died there. Could be that the William on the Docket is the William that you found. There is a person going to check out the Docket around the 6th of June then I know about the William on the Docket. Sheila thanks so very much for all of your help that you have been giving to me.

I've just looked through all of volume l.... did not find ONE Barnett! Perhaps an unmarked grave is the problem... there are alot of them in Walker Co! Going through volume two right now... one page at a time in case I missed something. Sheila

Hmmm.. looked again at those dates........ not even close, huh? I wonder if he had a son named William????? And the son went to Walker Co.... that COULD be his son. I've just finished going one page at a time throught Walker Co. Cem. book l.... took forever! I had NO luck on your William or John James. I'm halfway through book 2. Sheila

Shelia, thanks for the help I really appreciate it my William Barnett also went by the name of Albert William Barnett; one document has his name one way another the other way. Albert William was supposedly killed in a hunting accident but family members state the KKK killed him because he was a drinker, did not live a Christian life and did not care for his family properly. My mother was almost certain he was killed in Lafayette GA and since I have found it was in Lafayette that his youngest child was born, Rubye Barnett, she was born in 1926. William Barnett was my grandmother's 3rd husband, Gracie M. Harris was by my grandmother's first husband. Gracie had here appendix out when she was 14 or 16 and died afterward. Gracie would have been 14 in 1924 and 16 in 1926 that is why I figure she too is buried in Lafayette GA. thanks ever so much Jackie

Sheila, Anything is possible, but to he may have died in Whitfield Co., GA. That was the last census on him.

Oh Terry... One more thing..... the cemetery book index is bad for volume 1. I could've missed someone. I looked in the index to see what cemetery, then went through the whole cemetery whenever I saw the James surname. This doesn't mean that there were no others in the book.... just means I didn't find them.... will keep looking. Sheila

Hi Terry, I don't have good news for you. I did find a William James in Chickamauga Cemetery, but the dates are wrong (1851-1925). Also he is buried beside an Anne Miller James (1854-1933). Is there a chance it's the same man, and he remarried?? And... mistake in dates? Will keep an eye out for the family when I glance through census records. Depending on how accurate this info is... it is possible that his wife died & he moved to Walker Co. & remarried... isn't it????? Let me know if you need more help, or if you think it's the right guy... will give me more to go on when I'm looking through records. Sheila

Hi Jackie... I saw your posting a while back. The reason I noticed is that I also have a Bill Barnett.... but mine is William Ross Barnett. I now have the cemetery books & will see what I can find. But... I have looked all the way through those books & I don't remember seeing a William Barnett..... don't let that discourage you... there's ALOT of names in there, so I probably just forgot. I do recall seeing the Barnett name.... maybe it WAS your William... will look anyway! Sheila

This was in the May.21,2001.Chatt.Times- Freepress. Artifact collecting restricted in Georgia By Anne Patterson Braly Staff Writer Artifact hunters who dig without permission on private land to search for Civil War and American Indian relics can be prosecuted under a stiff new Georgia law, state officials said. The law, which takes effect July 1, slaps artifact trespassers with up to a $1,000 fine and subjects them to as much as a year in prison. The law is designed to protect the rights of landowners concerned that artifacts were being stolen from their land and sold for profit privately or publicly through Internet sites and other venues, according to state conservation officials. Billy Cooper has lived since he was 6 years old on his 20-acre farm in Dallas, Ga., in Paulding County northwest of Atlanta. As a child, he said, he discovered that the property was once a scene of Civil War action. The Union army entrenched on one side of the property and the Confederates on another. Now, at age 66 and retired from his career as an electronics technician, Mr. Cooper said he appreciates the artifacts that remain -- mostly Minie balls and bits of military hardware. Other people also have discovered the relics and often come uninvited to hunt for them to add to their collections or sell for profit, he said. "I don't think anyone should go onto another's property uninvited," Mr. Cooper said. "I was taught as a child to respect others, and I wouldn't have a problem with having anyone cited who came onto my property without permission." For the most part, these relic hunters have gotten away with little or no punishment for the trespassing and theft, but with the new law in place it won't be so easy, Georgia conservation officials say. Sgt. Mike Commander, a conservation manager for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, spearheaded the writing of the bill. He is one of several rangers who regularly patrols an area of the Flint River near Albany, Ga., looking for wildlife law violators, including people who poach artifacts without permission. "We encounter them every weekend," Sgt. Commander said. "The current law wasn't real clear about our authority. Its intent was good, but with an increase in the number of poachers, we had the law changed. We're not going after private collections or sales, we just want to protect what we have left." Georgia state archaeologist David Crass said the drought in the southern part of the state has lowered water levels of rivers, exposing ancient archaeological sites and making access easier for relic hunters. The Flint River basin, rich in archaeological remains, has been the target of many of them, he said. "We're still working out our policies on how this law will be enforced," Dr. Crass said. "We will probably go through an education program with folks before we start enforcing it." While a law prohibited digging for artifacts on private property has been in place since the early 1990s, this new law makes it illegal to collect items from the surface without written permission from the property owner. "This law clarifies existing codes," Dr. Crass said. "We have a lot of property owners who want to be good stewards of the archeological evidence. This law provides a tool for those who want to be good stewards to do that." Chuck Winchester, park manager of Pickett's Mill Battlefield State Historic Site in Paulding County, said preservation in Northwest Georgia is extremely important. "Most Atlanta campaign sites have been heavily looted," he said "The sites are especially fragile as they capture a brief period of time -- a day or a week in history. If they haven't been picked over, sometimes you can reconstruct them, sometimes down to the specific people involved. But when people go on to these sites with metal detectors, you lose the artifacts that give you the movement of what happened."

Yes, Sue, am looking for my grandfather who signed his WWI draft in Whiteside, Marion CO TN in 1917, he died of the flu of 1918/1919; I think he may have died 2/1919 because my mom was told she was 18mos old when he died and she was 18mos in 2/1919. His name is Foster Shepherd Harris, thanks Jackie
