Jim The cost of paper to paper copies at the National Archives is .15/page. Microfilm is .30/page.

re your question about how long it takes to get records from NARA I sent for my great-grandfather's Civil War records, it states on the application it will take 8-10 weeks which is almost exactly how long it took to get to me THE SECOND TIME I sent for them (the first time I never heard anything). But it was worth it!!! Also, thanks to Mary and Bob for answers to my question about Pilgrim's Rest. Will check with Good Hope first and go from there. Kathy Hintz

I have been using PCs since DOS 3.1 days, and this is the *first* time that I have been infected with and am guilty of spreading a virus! Whatever you do, do not open any strange-looking attachments in messages that you may have received from us today (4/20). If you have, and you executed it and saw a dialog box saying "File data corrupt", then you are infected. The gritty details: The virus is known by Symantec as W32.Badtrans.13312. It will run itself when your system boots and reply to all the messages in your default MAPI inbox, thus spreading itself (we never knowingly sent those messages!). Here is how to get rid of it. If this is too techy for you, get someone to help: 1) Edit the C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI file and delete the line that says "RUN=INETD.EXE". 2) Reboot 3) Delete C:\WINDOWS\INETD.EXE, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\HKSDLL.DLL, and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERN32.EXE. If you have trouble deleting the files because they are "in use", then you'll have to boot to DOS mode and delete them from there. Again, I am sorry to have perpetuated this virus. It was only discovered on 4/11, and I did not get the latest anti-virus updates until today, after I had been infected. Since I never open these types of attachments, I am really wondering how our PC got infected in the first place. I will continue to investigate this issue as well! Doug Gordon gordonwd@home.com

My Gordons go back to Roderick Gordon, abt. 1700 - 1744, who came from Carnousie in Banffshire, Scotland to King and Queen Co., VA in 1728. He had a brother Arthur, and a daughter Jane who was my ancestor. That's what I know -- I'd love to learn more.
