One of my genealogical Christmas wishes ... To connect with someone who is familiar with (or related to?) any of the following JACKSON family members listed below: * Jacob Jackson *** born abt. 1809, in Kentucky, or maybe Ohio * Samuel Jackson (Jacob's son) *** born Aug 31, 1840, in Marion, Grant Co,Indiana * Udell "Dell" Jackson (Samuel's son) *** born July 8, 1870, in Galien,Berrien Co, Michigan Jacob may have been married (at least) twice: (1) 1st marriage to Adeline ???; (2) 2nd marriage to Sarah ???. Sarah may have been married before "Jacob", either to: (a) ??? Stone; (b) ??? Kiser. Samuel's siblings include: (1) John (born abt 1842); (2) Patsy (born abt 1844); and (3) George (born abt 1848). Samuel's wife was Sophia Adeline Harrington (1842 - 1920). Sophia's first husband was James DeVoe. "Dell" had a half-brother, Charles E. DeVoe (1864 - 1957). "Dell" also had (at least) three sisters: (1) Bertha (Jan 1873 - Oct 1873); (2) Sarah M. (born Sept 20, 1874); and (3) Daisy Viola (born May 25, 1880), who married C. Horner. "Dell" was married to Maude E. Chase (1876 - 1960). Maude was married (at least) once after "Dell" to: (2) Joseph A. Riopelle. As you can see, I need lots of work (and help!) on my Jackson kin folk!

I have put Pipestone Township's Shanghai Cemetery online. The information online consists of transcriptions of markers and sexton records. Brenda

Pictures are now online of Johnson Cemetery in 1964, and the cemetery in 2000 (the cemetery from a distance) and of Daundra's family transcribing the markers. I have also put Pipestone Township's Shanghai Cemetery online. The information online consists of transcriptions of markers and sexton records. Sincerely, Brenda

Brenda, I will be out of town for about 3 weeks, so I will unsubscribe for now. I will be back after the new year. Thanks for all your hard work!

I hope you will warn people if you get a virus from them. I have received 4 viruses lately from 4 different areas of the country but my scanner caught all of them (I hope). I keep my scanner updated via McAfee Online Clinic. I would appreciate anyone on the list telling me if they have received a virus from my address.

This was sent to me and I feel it is worth putting out here for you all to read; the person who wrote it was kind to share their suggestions. Brenda ----------------start I have Norton AntiVirus 2000 and it has worked well for me (as far as I can tell ;-)  If you have access to a discount store such as Sam's, you can usually find a pretty good deal on such items.  The internet site wanted $40-$50 for it a couple of years ago, and I got it at Sam's for $10-$20.  It included an updater service which allows me to continually download the newest virus protections to my program for a whole year--they will even send reminders and announcements about them. Then each year for a small fee (mine was something like $4.99 the first year and $9.99 this year) they will renew the subscription to continue with the updates for another year without having to buy a whole new program that your computer would have to adjust to.

Dee, I notify every one who has sent out a virus. What is really getting to me is that the same people continue not to monitor and it happens more than twice. So bone-up on viruses everyone, I have to set guidelines. Brenda

Brenda your right, but also there is new people who are just learning about there computers and unknowingly get infected. I know some that are well versed in computers and they still some times get a virus. I hope you will notified the ones who do have a viruses. I have notified some and they never knew they had one. Some buy computers and just havent learned yet. Dee

Good idea Brenda. Another virus scan (free) is antivirus.com (Trend). My McAfee did not catch my BadTrans worm and my cousin had the same trouble with his Norton on that one. We both update weekly or sooner, if we have a notification! Sometimes it pays to double scan with another company, like Trend. That's how I found my worm! - Caroline ----- Original Message ----- From: <BerrienCo@aol.com> To: <MIBERRIE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 10:10 Subject: [MIBERRIE-L] 3 strikes=off list for those releasing Virus - READ > I am now keeping track of emails from list subscribers which sends a virus to > my mailbox or to other subscribers (who tell me about it).
