Just a word of correction on the W32.NewApt.Worm virus--the email messages DO NOT come from ILWOODFO-L or any other Roots Web mailing list. As I understand it, by the very nature of the listservers, you cannot send or receive attached files to/from mailing lists. Therefore, any messages you receive purporting to be from a Roots Web mailing list which contain an attachment are bogus and should be deleted. I received one the day before yesterday with a ILWOODFO-L return address, so someone on the list is apparently infected, but the messages are going direct to the receiver, not through the listserver. The following explanation of how this virus is disseminated was posted to the westphalen-L list. Dan Steffen El Paso, IL ________________________________________________________________________ This explanation of the new crop of viruses was posted to Listowners, by George W. Durman(SgtGeorge) I thought it might be helpful to post it to the AGS list. This virus is NOT coming from, or through, any of the Lists at Rootsweb,regardless of what the FROM: header says. In other words, the infected email you received did NOT come from, or through, the VACULPEPER-L Mailing List. Here's how the virus works: It infects a person's system. That person has email sitting in the IN Box; it doesn't matter if the email has been read or not, it just matters that it IS in the IN Box. The virus picks an email in the IN Box at random. Let's say the one it picks is a "good" email from VACULPEPER-L@rootsweb.com, and it's subject is "State Genealogy Sites". The virus then picks out another email, let's say this one is from "John Doe" <jdoe@whatever.com> (subject is irrelevant), and is a private/personal email. Then, the virus sends what looks like a reply to the first email, but addresses it to John Doe. John Doe then receives an email containing the now-famous blue background with the familiar text, AND attaches a file, the name of which is taken from the list below at random [list deleted--same as list in previous post--DS]. The email that John Doe receives SAYS it is from "VACULPEPER-L@rootsweb.com". The subject line is "Re: State Genealogy Sites". Of course John Doe SWEARS that he received the virus from the Mailing List!!!!! He did not!!!!! He received it from someone's computer, someone ELSE whose system is infected. So far, I have found no way to find out WHOSE system sent the danged forgery. __________________________________________________________ At 03:47 AM 12/23/99 -0800, you wrote: >The information below this line is what I received from the Woodford County, >IL mailing list. >(NOTE: Please do not click on the highlighted website.) >- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >- ---------------------------------------------------- > > > [x]http[x]://stuart.messagemates.com/index.html > > Hypercool Happy New Year 2000 funny programs and > animations... > > We attached our recent animation from this site in our > mail !

John: In reply to your message regarding the virus: >Hi Leah, >I just saw your recent post. I'm curious how you knew those messages had the >W32/NewApt.Worm attached to them? Was there some indication that they had >the worm attached? And did you pick up the worm itself or were you lucky >enough to avoid it? I have McAfee AntiVirus on my computer and subscribe to their mailing list. I was pre-warned of the virus to watch for any E-mail containing the message shown after the dotted line below. The two messages I received had an immediate blue screen (with no message from a subscriber) but with the website and message shown below (after the dotted line). I received the following information from McAfee AntiVirus: Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber: W32/NewApt is an email worm. AVERT has given it a risk assessment of Medium--On Watch. This worm arrives as an email attachment. The body of the email appears differently depending on whether the email client reads HTML. If it does, the email text looks like this: Hypercool Happy New Year 2000 funny programs and animations... We attached our recent animation from this site in our mail !

Yesterday, I received a message from the Woodford County, Illinois, mailing list (regarding surname HADLOCK) with the W32/NewApt.Worm in a website form. Today, I received another message regarding surname CHANEY from the same mailing list. I deleted both messages, not wanting to enter the referred website. So, if I do not respond to either message, I wanted to let anyone who was expecting an answer from me to know why. Has anyone else received similar E-mail?

The Secretary of State George Ryan has published a 144 page free book, listing the newspapers and dates. Not all years are in the collection. The address is Illinois State Historical Library, Newspaper Microfilm Section, Old State Capitol, Springfield, Illinois 62701. I don't see any newspaper with the name Roanoke Review. Woodford county had several newspapers. I did find one printed in 1855. Some of the names are : News;Advertiser; Advance; Journal;Record; Woodford County Journal; Democrat Journal. Kathleen

I am including my homepage line for those that are interested. If I can help anyone please lmk. Thanks Cindi Finley Davis http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/a/v/Cindi-J-Davis/index.html

My great grandmother Margaret Mary MONOGUE was "taken by a foundling agent from NY to Metamora, Illinois about 1855." This was in her husband's Civil War Pension file. Her name is NOT in the Illinois Orphan Train Book. Margaret was taken in to live with the Elisha & Lucy GREENE home in Metamora. Margaret later married their oldest son Henry Martyn Greene in Kansas before the war. Does anyone else have an Orphan Train Rider in Woodford County? Kathleen

Since I've had about ten people ask me how to "do" an inter-library loan I thought I'd send a short "how-to" to the list, in case there are others who aren't familiar with the process. It's a marvelous service that you should take advantage of every chance you get. As far as I know (and I've worked in various libraries over the past 20 years), public libraries in this country should be able to get you any book you want from another library if they don't have it in theirs. Obviously, out-of-print or rare books might not fall into this catagory and many libraries don't let much of their genealogy/special interest history books go out of their buildings. Try ordering them anyway. The worst the library can do is say no. To order a book that your library doesn't have, all you should have to do is go to the front desk at your local library and ask for an Inter-Library Loan (ILL) request form. Library staff love it if you have all the information about a book (title, author, publishing co, year printed, ISBN etc) but should be able to look up all that if you don't know it. Fill it out and sit back and wait for the library to call you when the book comes in. Some libraries charge postage or other fees, some don't charge anything. They should advise you of any costs before you order any book. If they don't, ask. The turnaround time for receiving an ILL book can vary greatly. In SC it used to take at least a month, sometimes two, between the time I requested a book and the time I had it in my hands. Here in NC I got my last books less than two weeks after I requested them and they came from IL. For those of you who might think otherwise, there are *a lot* of people on this list who are researching their Woodford Co families. Before I posted my lookup offer, I thought maybe this list was so quiet because there were only a few people signed on. Not so. I urge you all to send your queries to the list so that everyone can see who you're interested in. You should, as I have, run into some really swell people that way and you just may find a cousin or two. Amy Robbins-Tjaden atjaden@mindspring.com

This morning I picked up a copy of The Past and Present of Woodford Co, IL (1878 edition) which I got through inter-library loan from the Illinois State Library. I will only have it a couple of weeks. While I have it, I will be happy to do lookups for anyone wanting them. As far as I understand copyright laws, this book should be absolutely safe to quote from. The biographical directory in the book goes by township and then (sort of) alphabetically by people who lived in that township. So, a township along with the name you want looked up would be helpful. If you don't know the township, I will still look but it will obviously take longer to get an answer to you. Amy Robbins-Tjaden atjaden@mindspring.com

The Sutro Library in San Francisco is the "largest genealogical library west of Salt Lake." The libraries holding can be searched via the Melvyl Catalog Database. Actually you can search many different public libraries in California, but the one of greatest interest is Melvyl. Once you choose the Melvyl Database Catalog at this link: http://www.melvyl.ucop.edu/ then on the next page it will ask you which library to search, choose: "Calif. State Library" Start by doing a "subject search" using the terms: illinois and genealogy When I looked the other day the search returned 247 volumes. This is an extremely valuable resource and I'm not sure if it is common knowledge of it's existence. Isn't the internet wonderful! Wayne
