Hi Folks: The following message is posted for the benefit of "new" members of this LANDRY Mailing List and will be re-posted on an ongoing basis. --------------------------------------------------------------- At the request of many users (whose comments/suggestions were greatly appreciated), I have decided to re-install the "former" Parachat Chat Room on my Acadian Genealogy Homepage, for your convenience. It is located at http://www.acadian.org/chat.html and now provides a choice of font sizes (for those of us with weak eyes! <grin>). The "new" Cajun Chat Network Chat Room (which still does _NOT_ unfortunately accommodate Mac computer users), is still available and may be found at http://www.acadian.org/chat2.html While I continue to encourage Acadian-Cajun cousins to meet any evening at around 7:00 PM (Eastern), it should be noted that both Chat Rooms are open 24 hours/day and may be used at any time convenient to you. Just (privately) send each other an e-mail message and decide what date/time you want to meet. Then, at the pre-arranged time, click on one of the URL address noted above. Note 1. If this is your first time "at the party", you may want to arrive a bit early in order to have the opportunity to check the (simple) instructions on how to join-in, listed on both Chat Room Pages. Note 2. As we all know, Rootsweb Mailing Lists are primarily intended for genealogy-related discussions however, there are times when subscribers might want to discuss a subject matter not quite suitable for the Mailing Lists. Obviously these ACADIAN-CAJUN Chat Rooms are excellent mediums for this purpose. Note 3. You must have your Internet Browser (Netscape, Explorer etc.) java-enabled. If you are not certain how to do this, contact your Internet Service Provided for assistance. YVON L. CYR, cajun@acadian.org Facilitator of this Rootsweb Mailing List.

Hi Folks: The following message is posted for the benefit of "new" members of this LANDRY Mailing List and will be re-posted on an ongoing basis. --------------------------------------------------------------- TO POST A MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON THE MAILING LIST: Type your inquiry/response message and send it to... LANDRY-L@rootsweb.com Note that the word "request" is NOT included and is only used to subscribe or unsubscribe from the Mailing List. Your message will be sent to ALL subscribers of the Mailing List. Be certain to keep your "signature" short and sweet. As a matter of fact, your name and e-mail address is all that is required (and recommended). TWO VERSIONS TO CHOSE FROM: You are either subscribed to the "L" Mode (and receive a copy of each messages posted on the Mailing List, in individual messages), or the "D" (Digest) Mode (and receive copy of multiple messages, in a _single_ e-mail). Regardless of which Mode you are subscribed to, you receive a copy of ALL messages posted on the Mailing List. If you are subscribed to the "L" Mode and find you are receiving too many messages from the Mailing List, turn OFF your signature file and then, merely send an e-mail message to LANDRY-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word UNSUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will cancel your subscription to the "L" Mode. Then, send a second message to LANDRY-D-request@rootsweb.com with the single word SUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will subscribe you to the Digest Mode. TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE MAILING LIST: First, you must determine if you are subscribed under the "L" Mode (individual messages) or the "D" Mode (digest of multiple messages in a single e-mail). 1. To unsubscribe from the "L" Mode, turn OFF your signature file and then, send an e-mail message to LANDRY-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word UNSUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will cancel your subscription to the "L" Mode. 2. To unsubscribe from the "D" (Digest) Mode, send an e-mail message to LANDRY-D-request@rootsweb.com with the single word UNSUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will cancel your subscription to the "D" Mode. 3. If you change your e-mail address: A) As soon as you have your new address and have re-configured your e-mail program to reflect the new address, send a SUBSCRIBE message to: LANDRY-L-request@rootsweb.com You need not be concerned about your OLD address, since after a few "bounced" messages, the Rootsweb software will automatically unsubscribe the OLD address. B) HOWEVER, if you retain your OLD e-mail address and only want to receive messages to your NEW address, it WILL be necessary for you to send an UNSUBSCRIBE message (from your OLD address)... otherwise, you will receive messages at both your OLD and NEW address. Note: If you have more than one e-mail address, you MUST send your message from the address with which you are subscribed to the Mailing List. YVON L.

Hi Folks: As you know, I do not normally allow _virus warnings_ of any kind on this Mailing List, because: A) This Mailing List is NOT the proper medium for these discussions. To discuss virus issues, join the established Rootsweb Virus Discussion Mailing List, by sending a SUBSCRIBE message to: VIRUS-DISCUSSION-L-request@computers.rootsweb.com B) You CANNOT get a virus from the Mailing List, because Rootsweb does not process any e-mail attachments. You can however, get a virus from a subscriber who has a virus-infected computer, when he/she sends you a _private_ message. Having said that (and at the request of a number of subscribers), I feel I should alert you to the following (given that I have personally received _five_ verii in my last e-mail download... but _not_ from Rootsweb messages): 1: A new email virus called _BadTrans_ is spreading quickly through the net. I encourage all subscribers to visit the following links: http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp?virus_k=99069 ... for complete details of the virus. And http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp ... where you will find a patch from Microsoft that will help prevent some forms of infection by this and other verii like it. 2. Dealing with the effects of this virus. Although your own computer may not be infected with this virus, someone you know might be. One of the behaviors of this virus is to automatically send out numerous copies of itself to people in the victims address book. This has the unfortunate effect of filling up ones mailbox and when this occurs, the users ISP server starts "bouncing" messages back to Rootsweb. After five bounces, the Rootsweb software automatically unsubscribes you from the Mailing List and you have to re-subscribe (after you've emptied your message box at your ISP server). Final Comments: 1. I encourage all subscribers to have (and use) some type of virus protection software. And be sure you have the latest virus definition updates installed. 2. Please do not discuss this subject matter on this Mailing List, but rather write privately to me (or directly to someone whose computer is infected), or subscribe to the above-noted Rootsweb "Virus Discussion" Mailing List. Thanks. YVON L. CYR, cajun@acadian.org Facilitator of this Rootsweb Mailing List. For details visit URL : http://www.acadian.org/rootsweb.html

Received this, thought some of you may be interested. Happy Thanksgiving to friends and relatives! Kathie Jacobsen-Wilcox Acadian fete to feature family theme Reply to: AcadianGenealogy@yahoogroups.com In "THE CHRONICLE-HERALD" Halifax newspaper. Monday, November 19, 2001 Acadian fete to feature family theme 250,000 expected at 2004 gala By Susan Bradley / Staff Reporter The third annual Congres mondial acadien, slated for 2004, will be a family affair, said organizer Allister Surette Saturday. Groups of Acadian families, from southwest Nova Scotia to Cape Breton, will host individual gatherings in addition to official events such as the Congres opening in Clare and closing mass at Grand Pré. "We're expecting about 250,000 people to participate in the events," Mr. Surette said, following a meeting of about 100 organizers in Halifax. Relatives of families such as the LeBlancs, Deveaus, Richards and Belliveaus, are expected to come from as far away as Louisiana and France. The 16-day event in August 2004 is also expected to attract visitors from Quebec, the other Atlantic provinces, the rest of Canada and the U.S., and other regions of Europe. "This is a worldwide reunion of all Acadians and friends of Acadians," Mr. Surette said. The Congres mondial acadien 2004 also coincides with the 400th anniversary of the deportation of Acadians from Grand Pré, he said. Acadian conferences were held in New Brunswick in 1994 and Louisiana in 1999. The budget for 2004 is $7.5 million, half of which will come from the provincial and federal governments and half of which will be raised through private sponsorship. "We are hoping the Congres has a lasting economic spin-off, in tourism, education and economic development," said Mr. Surette, who is also president and CEO of the College de l'Acadie. Many of the people who come to Nova Scotia's Acadian communities in 2004 have strong genealogy interests and will be seeking information about their ancestors, he said. Organization committees have already published and distributed more than 150 Family Reunion Manuals. About 600 people are involved in the project and 35 Acadian family associations have been organized. On Saturday, the associations discussed a framework for working together as a larger, permanent group. While the Congres is still over two years away, promotion is in full swing. Brochures and a CD-ROM have been created and are being distributed to target markets. As well, Acadian musical groups Blou and Grand Dérangement have been on tour in Europe and the U.S., helping to promote the event. George Rose <grose@hfx.eastlink.ca>
