A needle in the haystack is right! And being called Mattie, but truly named Margorie, is quite a stretch. I'm sure you've thought about the need to keep a wide open mind on her given name, still. I've read about quite a few errors on "official documents". Depending on who gave the info, especially in a traumatic time, the name could be misspelled, as you said; misunderstood; "sounds like"; just plain wrong.... Good luck!!! Pat

My Gr-Gr-Grandmothers real name was Martha Ann and she was called "Mattie" (her mother also was named Martha Ann)............. My mothers name is Marjory and she is call "Marj"........

Liam Everything you say here is good the only thing different is that I would set my virus program to update daily or at the very longest every 2 days. The bad worm that is going around now is a variation of the Bad Trans virus.

Hello to all my listers, hope this email finds you happy and preparing for the Holidays. This email is to inform you (if you dont already know) that virus's are running rampant again. People continue to download attachments even though they arent expecting anything....and they get a virus. That virus picks up every old email in your file cabinet and sends it to every email address that it finds. Below is information about getting rid of these virus's, and on the virus's themselves. I am begging you all, please be suspicious any time you receive an email with an attachment. Pretend you got home from work and found a pretty wrapped box on your porch unexpectedly...that was ticking. Kathy -aka Firstmom http://khuish.tripod.com/ >>From: ingen@migrations.org (Patrick Hays) To: ingen@ingenweb.net Well, it's that time again... >From http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/pf/w32.badtrans.b@mm.html Symantec Security Response http://securityresponse.symantec.com W32.Badtrans.B@mm Discovered on: November 24, 2001 Last Updated on: November 24, 2001 at 12:19:48 PM PST W32.Badtrans.B@mm is a MAPI worm that emails itself out as one of several different file names. This worm also drops a backdoor trojan that logs keystrokes. Type: Worm Virus Definitions: November 24, 2001 Threat Assessment: Wild: Medium Damage: Low Distribution: High Wild: Number of infections: 50 - 999 Number of sites: 3 - 9 Geographical distribution: Medium Threat containment: Easy Removal: Easy Damage: Payload: Large scale e-mailing: Sends email from addresses found in the default MAPI program. Compromises security settings: Installs keystroke logging Trojan. Technical description: This worm arrives as an email with one of several attachment names and a combination of two appended extensions. The list of possible file names is: HUMOR DOCS S3MSONG ME_NUDE CARD SEARCHURL YOU_ARE_FAT! NEWS_DOC IMAGES PICS The first extension that is appended to the file name is one of the following: .DOC .MP3 .ZIP The second extension that is appended to the file name is one of the following: .pif .scr The resulting file name would look something like this: CARD.DOC.PIF NEWS_DOC.MP3.SCR etc. When executed, this worm copies itself as kernel32.exe in the "\windows\system" directory. It then adds the following registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Kernel32= kernel32.exe. Prevention methods: 1. Corporate email filtering systems should block all email that have attachments with the extensions .scr and .pif. 2. Users should not open any emails with an attachment that matches the names listed above. Any email that has such an attachment should be deleted. Removal instructions: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions. 2. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and make sure that NAV is configured to scan all files. For instructions on how to do this, read the document How to configure Norton AntiVirus to scan all files. 3. Run a full system scan. 4. Delete all files that are detected as W32.Badtrans.B@mm. 5. Remove the registry value listed above. Write-up by: Patrick Martin I have gotten a literal ton of e-mails with this virus. No matter how many times you say it people just don't listen.

Yes, mail I sent a group of people 2 years ago...I am now getting replies to with the .mp3.scr file attached. Please....if you are not expecting something...do not download it! Look at the file names, if it has 2 file extensions (filename.mp3.scr)....do not download it! If it says "I send this to you for your advice...do not download it!

Hi, Myrna, I agree with the other opinions posted - I've always thought of Marjorie, Margery, etc., as full names - not nicknames. One reason may be that I've never heard a name for which it would be a likely nickname. Pat Cross Davis - Texas patdmom@aol.com Burke, Callis, Carrothers, Cross, Martin, Paul, Warren, Wolfe, Word

Thanks for the information. No one should get angry at such good information. This is my first virus and I'm not sure my NortonAntivirus is rid of it just quarntined. I'm a bit of a novice at this.

I don't think Marjorie is a nick name. But Peggy is a nick name for Margret, is this any help Michelle

Thanks. My problem has been I have been looking for a Mattie Martin as she was known by, and now I find her listed on my dad's death certificate as Marjorie (actually they spelled it Margorie, but I think it was misspelled). Maybe someone just thought his mother was named Marjorie???????????? So off to another needle in the haystack. Myrna

I agree, but my problem is I have been looking for a Mattie Martin for years, and just found her name on a death certificate as mother, as Marjorie... actually, spelled Margorie, possibly misspelled.
