The virus alert that I forwarded on turned out to be a virus hoax. If anyone deleted the sulfnbk.exe file in error (like I did), the McAfee.com website tells how to reinstall the file.

This virus alert is a hoax. You can go to http://dispatch.mcafee.com/dispatches/SULFNBK/ and it explains that the Sulfnbk is a file in the Windows program and it should be there.

Forgot to send the whole message. Did I tell you Monongalia County is in WV. This from my old WV history book. Published in 1931. THE KILLING OF CORNSTALK. Three years after the noted battle, Cornstalk, the famous warrior, chieftain, and statesman of his tribe, was killed by soldiers at the fort at Point Pleasant, to avenge the killing of a Virginia soldier. A monument to him has been erected in the courthouse yard near his grave. Anne Bailey, "the white squaw of the Kanawha," who ranged the woods in the Kanawha Valley to bring warning to frontier posts and who carried messages to and from outlying clearings, lies in her last sleep in the shadow of the Point Pleasant battle monument. Chapter on Poultry and Poultry Products The pioneers brought chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese into the new country as soon as they could safely do so. It is said that Anne Bailey, the pioneer heroine of the Kanawha Valley, brought the first geese into her section by driving them over the mountains from the Greenbrier settlements. At first, wild animals in the forests and eagles and hawks in the air preyed upon the flocks and made poultry-raising a most discouraging business.

There is currently a Westmoreland Co., Va. They have a website you might want to visit. Kathryn

Monongalia County is a part of WV. Maryland and West Virginia border Pennsylvania. I am abslutely, positively sure there is no West Moreland County in West Virginia. The research I have done at court houses in WV has been great. PA has very poor records. >I have Bailey ancestors who were born and died in Westmoreland County VA.

I have Bailey ancestors who were born and died in Westmoreland County VA. Is this now Westmoreland County PA, does anyone know? I think that Westmoreland PA was part of Monongalia County at one time. Thank you. Beverly Walter

This may be a bogus virus and you may have deleted a file you may need, Check back through your email. There has been discussion on this several times in the past few days. Jim

One of my cousins sent me this virus alert on December 21. I checked it out and the virus was on my computer too. It may be on your computer too. It travels from address book to address book - that's why I'm notifying all of you in my address book to check your computer. Norton Anti-Virus did not pick up this virus. I followed the instructions to delete the virus from my computer and suggest you do the same. The virus lies dormant for 14 days and then kills your hard drive. Here's how to stop it. If you've got it, send this e-mail to everyone in your address book. Directions for removing this virus: 1. Go to 'start' - then to "find or search" (depending on your computer) 2. In the 'search for files or folders', type in sulfnbk.exe -- this is the virus name. 3. In the 'look in' make sure you're searching Drive C. 4. Hit the "search" button (or find) 5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the name 'sulfnbk.exe") DO NOT OPEN IT 6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click. 7. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say yes. 8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on the recycle bin. If you find this file on your "C" drive, please send this e-mail to everyone in your address book, because that is how it transfers itself. (by sending itself to everyone in your address book and then being activated 14 days later.) Then it destroys your hard drive. So check for it now, and get rid of it.

Ruby I printed it out and will try to remember to put it in your envelope. I saved it for the newsletter. Did you try to print it straight from the email or did you copy and paste it into your Word program and then print it from there? >From: bramhall@earthlink.net >Reply-To: HCGS-L@rootsweb.com >To: HCGS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [HCGS] ThxJohnNuzum/Gin Sprouse update >Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2001 12:54:37 -0500 > >KUDOS to John Nuzum!

KUDOS to John Nuzum! Anyone who has spent anytime at a microfilm reader must appreciate the neck & back breaking work this must have been! I once helped index a PORTION of the Cuyahoga County OH census & that was such hard work! I can only imagine doing ALL that John has done - 1900,1910, & 1920. THANKS, JOHN! We do value YOU and the gift you have given Harrison & Taylor Counties AND posterity. We all benefit from your long hours at the microfilm reader. Sharon Sprouse Bramhall P.S. For those who have inquired, my mother, HCGS founder/member, Mary Virginia Sprouse (who shattered her femur over Thanksgiving) - she is making slow progress. Though able to sit in a wheelchair, it is still a feat getting there. Yesterday, my sister, Toni, said she attended a Christmas party at the nursing home & also was able to look out the window and see the inspirational Blue Ridge Mountains & Shenandoah River .. just like the song! Thanks to all who have sent words of encouragement or who have sent up prayers in her behalf. Happy Holidays to all!

Louise, No, I don't think anyone from the HCGS will ever be doing the Barbour County Census. Do they not have any for sale? Many thanks to John Nuzum for the many hours he has spent doing the 1900, 1910, and 1920 of both Harrison and Taylor County. I told him the night of the Christmas dinner he would have to stick around to do the 1930 which comes out next spring. Ruby

Thank you very much, Sherry
