Hello, Rhoads/Rhodes researchers: I periodically forward Rhoades/Rhodes information from here in Ohio that might be connected to my home county of Kosciusko. Today I was looking at a website and found some Rhodes/Rhoads directly connected with Kosciusko Co. This website has antique photos of Jacob Rhodes who married Etta Snyder, taken in Warsaw IN and found in Niles MI; J.G. Rhodes, taken in Martinsburg PA and found in Dunkanville PA; Dan Rhoads, taken in Ft. Wayne and found in Allen MI; and Wm Rhodes, his wife and daughter, taken in Goshen IN and found in Niles MI. If you go to http://users.erinet.com/31363/fordand.htm you will meet the two gentlemen who scour the countryside for genealogy-related material and sell it and you can look over their list of items.

Please go to the following Web Site www.stiller.com Wolfgang Stiller is the foremost expert in the country on Viruses. On his Web Page, check the Virus Report for new Viruses. There is a report there on the Happy99 Trojan. There is information that explains that the Happy99 is not a Virus, but still can be troublesome. It tells how to deal with it. Any time you get a Virus warning, check with Stiller for the truth. Jerry Christ Gainesville, Fl.

Just yesterday I posted a web site to the list which is operated by Symantec and gives a lot of information about viruses, even listing the ones that are real or a hoax. It tells about the Happy 99 and how to deal with it.

HI Everybody: I've gotten three warnings like the one below from the listowners of some genealogy chat lists that I belong to, so I feel like this virus is real. Personally, I haven't received this attachment - the listowners have stopped it from being posted on their chatlists before it reached me. I'm updating my Norton Anti-Virus as soon as I send this message out - I recommend that ya'll do the same. Linda Message text written by INTERNET:[email protected] >Twice I received two messages with the virus trojan horse attachment. Both were bounced to me as listowner because it contained virus worm. The attachment is named Happy99.exe Do NOT open the attachment to read. The sender is usually named Sluggo from surfsouth.com. The apparent objective was to try to hide behind files and steal passwords and sent to somewhere else. I tell you it is REAL one! Because I had been warned about him by other listowners who had the misfortune of opening the attachment. W. David Samuelsen<

Most of these messages are called "Hoax Viruses" and as a computer network administrator, I always check them out before jumping the gun. This one is real. The following is what McAfee's website says about it. Cheryl Hawley --------------------------------------------------------- W32/Ska is a worm that was first posted to several newsgroups and has been reported to several of the AVERT Labs locations worldwide. When this worm is run it displays a message "Happy New Year 1999!!" and displays "fireworks" graphics. The posting on the newsgroups has lead to its propagation. It can also spread on its own, as it can attached itself to a mail message and be sent unknowingly by a user. Because of this attribute it is also considered to be a worm. AVERT cautions all users who may receive the attachment via email to simply delete the mail and the attachment. The worm infects a system via email delivery and arrives as an attachment called Happy99.EXE. It is sent unknowingly by a user. When the program is run it deploys its payload displaying fireworks on the users monitor. Note: At this time no destructive payload has been discovered. When the Happy.EXE is run it copies itself to Windows\System folder under the name SKA.EXE. It then extracts, from within itself, a DLL called SKA.DLL into the Windows\System folder if one does not already exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------

Hello. Looking for information about the parents of Eliza Jane BUSSERT, who was born in 1851 in Warsaw, Kosciusko County, Indiana. I do not have the names of her parents. She had five sisters named: Mary Ann, Nancy Ann, Adeline, Mandy (Amanda?) and Libby (Elizabeth?). Eliza Jane BUSSERT married George Stevens in 1867 in Delphos, OH. They lived in Adams County, Indiana for 60 years or so, then moved to Sturgis, MI where they lived the rest of their lives. They had nine children: Sanford, Clayton, Cameron, Eva, Quinn, Otis (my grandfather), Jane, Rosa and Ella Stevens. What was the name of Eliza Jane BUSSERT's parents? Where did her sisters live and where are their decendants? Any help/information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Janet. A. Nelson e-mail: [email protected]

If you get a chance try to meet Marge Priser, she's a very helpful person and has done so much for me I can't even thank her, but, she knows more about Kosc. Co. than anyone I've met. Good luck on your trip. Kay Stager in CA My grgrgr grandfather and mother are buried there, he is in Clunette Cemetery and Marge and her husband have sent me photographs of his and his family's graves. How kind can you get?

Searching for ancestors in Kosciuscko County, Indiana. Thomas and James McCluer purchased land there in 1838. There was an Elias and a Hepburn McCluer there as well. Other surnames include Yearian (Yarian), Mock (Mack, Mauck). There was a John McClure mentioned in the notes of my 3rd great grandfather. He was mentioned as living in Warsaw, Indiana in 1880. Any information is appreciated. James W. McCluer

Hi Brian; Glad to hear you will be stopping in Warsaw during your drive back to CA. I think it would be a good idea to set up an appointment for the Historical Society as they are only open on Tues. and Wed. mornings from 9 to 1. The research library at the society is open on Thur., Fri., Sat. from 10 to 4 and Sun. from 1 to 4 when the museum is open to the public. On Tues. and Wed. only the office is open, but for people coming from out of town they make a special effort to accommodate that visitor. You can reach them at Kos. Co. Hist. Soc., P. O. Box 1071, attention Jeanne Jones, Warsaw, IN 46581-1071 or phone 1-219-269-1078. We are about l hour south of the toll road - get off at the Bristol exit and travel south on St. Rd. 15 through Goshen then on to Warsaw, passing through Leesburg 6 miles short of Warsaw. We have several new motels in Warsaw (Hampton Inn, Holiday Express) plus several others that have been here - such as Royal 8, Days Inn, Dollar Inn and the Ramada which is newly remodeled within the last year. Also a Comfort Inn which is fairly new. These motels are all on the east side of Warsaw and adjacent to U. S. 30. Hope you enjoy your stay in our town and county.

My Great Grandfather, Fred W. Kibler was born somewhere in Koskiusko Co. in 1853. Can anyone help me research this? Jerry

Dear fellow Kosciusko genealogists and Shirley, It looks as though I am finally going to be able to do something I have been longing to do for over a year. I am going to actually visit Kosciusko County - the place my ancestors pioneered! I am descended from: Dominique Rousseau Charles Ervin/Erwin the Boydstons of Boydston's Mill Nelson Nutt and other first families of the county. I am driving across 1-80 from PA to CA and will pass very close to Warsaw/Leesburg. Too close not to stop by. I will probably spend a night and definitely want to visit the homes and graves and Historical Society. This will probably be on Wed. 3/3. Any ideas for me? I am so excited! -- Brian Hogan 1371 Silverado Ave. McKinleyville, CA 95519 (707) 840-9233
