Hello all, I'm back from my research/vacation. While I was in Marquette, Michigan looking up information on my family I happened across this story about the Pollard Theatrical company from Australia. It a rather interesting read if you have the time. I would be interested to hear what came happened to the troup. I know they're not related to me, but I hope you enjoy it. Kim Pollard Drew, Ms Marquette Michigan The Daily Mining Journal Sat. Dec. 5, 1908 Pollard Company are globe trotters The Lilliputians have visited nearly every country in the world in their thirty years on the road The Pollard Lilliputians, who opened their initial Marquette engagement at the opera house last evening have traveled as widely, perhaps, as any theatrical company on the road, during the thirty years since their organization. The Pollards have played in almost every country on the globe and have appeared before royalty many times, the last before the Mikado of Japan. Last season the country traveled through the Orient, stopping in China, Japan, the Fast Indian Islands, the Philippines and finally landing in San Francisco last May. “Our company has been through some varied and unusual experiences during the thirty years we have been on the road,” said C. A. Pollard, manager of the company, at the Hotel Marquette yesterday. “We have been in three earthquakes and a shipwreck, but, strange to say have never been in a train wreck. At Manila in Dec., 1907 a quake struck us during the performance and rocked the theater like a cradle. The audience was thrown into a panic and doubtless lives would have been lost had it not been for the marvelous example of coolness exhibited by our Ethel Naylor, who went on the stage and sang a comedy song, holding the audience until the danger was over. We were at Sacramento at the time of the San Francisco earthquake and were once in an earthquake in New Zealand. “Every one of our thirty-four people is a native Australian, and many of the children now in the company are descendants of the original members of the company. Our cast is composed entirely of children, there being no dwarfs among them. Our stage director played a comedy part in the company when a child.” “It is strange what an awful idea strangers have of the winter climate in this northern country. For several years we would not go into northern Michigan or Canada during the winter for fear of the cold, but now our people enjoy traveling this country in winter, and find the climate far more agreeable than in many localities farther south.” “In the Orient our performers were attended almost entirely by English speaking people, and we played to crowded houses. The natives take no interest in any except their own theaters, some of which are really high class, especially in Japan.” “I find the people in America very much like those of Australia, much more so than those of Great Britain. Melbourne and Sydney contain thousands of Americans and are little different from cities of the same size in this country.” The Pollards will give and afternoon and evening performance in this city today, and will then go to Hamilton, Ont.

I am doing some research for some friends in Finland. I'd appreciate it very much if someone could get me a copy of the obituary for Lydia Sophia Heikkala RUOHONEN who died August 16, 1950 in Gwinn, Michigan. If it's not convenient for someone, some tips on how to get the obit would be welcome.

Hello all, I was hoping to make a trip to the records office while I'm visiting Marquette in a few weeks and needed to know where to look for the county records (Birth, Death, and Marriage). Are the records kept in Marquette? If you provide me with the street addresses I can take it from there. If you can reply back before the 30th of May that would be wonderful.

While searching through some old boxes I brought from my grandmother's house when she died 20 years ago, I found a cookbook from the women of Negaunee, MI. The date this book was given to my grandmother was Sept. 13, 1923... my grandmother's 24th birthday. (She was born 1899 in Negaunee). There's also a letter in this book from her aunt Myra (Mrs. Robert Thompson) (Rachel Myra Annie Verran b Jan 9, 1870 d Oct 29, 1942 both events in Marquette Co., MI) dated Aug 9, 1938... guess she kept it here because Aunt Myra sent her a recipe for chow chow. (the mustard pickley kind I remember... not the kind my mother-in-law made with cabbage, etc.) My grandmother's name was Ethel May Verran Phillips. She was the daughter of Philip John Verran, a brother to Aunt Myra. Does anyone know who this Robert Jackson could be? Or Aunt Annie Ruth? Or Margaret Ford??? I know my grandmother used to say the only living relative (besides us) was her cousin, Sis Ford. Sis, I'm sure, wasn't her name. Don't know her husband's name... Perhaps someone out there does??? Aunt Maud is my grandmother's aunt... Aunt Myra's younger 1/2 sister. She married a Hauserman and had a daughter, Elizabeth Ann (goes by Ann), who is still living and married Gordon Rice. Robert Thompson 509 Co. Rd. Negaunee, MI Aug 9th, 1938 Dear Ethel and all We received your nice letter and was pleased to see you were all well. We are all fine but uncle is not so well but he looks good. I had your father here for a week. He is not so well. He has gall bladder trouble and suffers a lot of pain at times. I have not heard from him for quite awhile now and Aunt Annie Ruth and her little girl was here for two weeks and then I had Robert Jackson for ten days. He has the same thing as your father but he is on a diet so you see, I have been busy for awhile but I am thankful to be able to do our own work and Margaret Ford was married June 25th and they went on a trip to the Soo and Canada and now she is gone on another trip to Detroit with her father and family and left her hubby home and we have him here to dinner every other day and he goes to his brother's the other days. It has been real hot for up here the last two weeks... 90 but that's not 103 ha ha. I supose you have a garden. We have a lovely garden this year. Maud's boys take care of it for us as uncle can not do anything this year but boss. So I put up 3 quarts of beans and going to put up more as they come, and we have carrots, beets, parsnips, cabbage, corn, citron, Punkin, cucumbers and potatoes. Aunt Maud is at camp. She is having a good time and I am so pleased too as she is so good to everybody. Our Maud is feeling better and she wants us to go on a trip with them but uncle don't feel good enough so I guess that means stay home for me but I don't mind as I like to take care of him. Maybe next year he will feel better. And Sis had a bad spell after the wedding with her heart, but I think she done too much getting everything in order. They had a nice time, so I think when they come back from their trip they will go to Mayhas(?) again. Well my dear I guess I told you all now for the time so will close with loads of love to all of you. Hope you will be coming up next summer. Now for the chow chow: If you have ten or twelve quarts of pickles of all kinds you put enough vinigar on till you can see it then take two cups of sugar, 1/2 lb. colman's mustard, 1 cup flour, 1 Tablespoon red pepper, 1 of tumeric and mix them altogether with vinigar and pour on the pickles while hot and let stand on stove till thick. Lima bears are nice in it. You par boil first and then add to pickles. Well we hope you have good luck with them. I am going to make some this year. It's years since I made any for ourselves, but I make Olive's every year. She gets everything ready and then I make the soupe. Well excuse writing. Hope to see you all next summer. God bless you all. From Aunt Myra. Can anyone help me out here??? Joanne Morgan Kansas City, MO

Hello All, I received a email x2 from some people called "GenTruth". In the body of the email they go on to say Excrept from my email: Inside this issue of In The Spotlight, we are going to discuss the different aspects of Family Discovery. If you have not heard of, or don't understand this service, be sure to read on and learn everything you need to know about their service. Family Discovery offers an online-based genealogical research tool. They provide a unique service that many researchers don't understand. When it comes down to it, they offer a pay for use search engine. At first, this sounds like an absurd place to spend your time. I mean, there are tons of free search engines out there. Why would someone pay for access to one? End excrept. (didn't want to waste your email space) If you haven't received your copy of the junk mail you can email me and I would be happy to send it out to you so you don't become one of the many that have been had by these people.

Okay, I normally wouldn't pass this to the list, but there are times when I would love to be able to read those Census images better that are too black, have tape on them, or other stuff. Why does NASA have to have all the good technology for reading ancient text? If you have an interest in Science, Archaeology, or Pompeii take a look at this site. I know it doesn't have much if anything to do with Genealogy, but maybe we can sneak one of the machines out and re-do those census images. http://www.msnbc.com/news/562226.asp?cp1=1#BODY Kim Pollard -- http://www.cableone.net/jamez/family.htm Check out some of the other websites I'm running. http://drew-ms.netfirms.com/ http://www.fortunecity.com/westwood/beautiful/877/ or http://nav.to/Merick

Hi, Is there some kind soul living within the area that could do a lookup? Matt Virta age 63, died June 10, 1929 in Alger Co. According to the MI Dept of Health Registrar's Permit for Burial or Removal, he was buried in Park Cemetery and the undertaker is A. Swanson. The permit states that the date of burial was June 13, 1929. Could someone look for an obit? Or anything that would attach this Matt Virta to my Matt Virta? I think this is my gg grandfather. I have tried the Marq. Co. Historical Society, the Permit for Burial was the only info they had on him. Thanks Lori Sue

Hi all, I thought some of you might find the following web site interesting in your search. My husband isn't very interested in genealogy, but I'm glad he told me about this one. The site has compilied census data for a few of the years and has a map showing the distribution of suranmes. Have a good day, Kim Pollard Drew, Ms. http://hamrick.com/names/

I'm sure all of you know this already, but I wanted to warn you if you didn't. The Snow White story that has been passed from HAHAHA is infected with a virus in the attactment Dwarf4U. Get rid of it fast. If I have passed this on I am truely sorry. Be sure to rid it from your deleted folder too. Kim I received this wriet up and thought it was interesting. Symantec AntiVirus Research Center (SARC) http://www.symantec.com/avcenter W95.Hybris.Plugin Discovered on: December 21, 2000 Last Updated on: January 25, 2001 at 12:28:33 PM PST W95.Hybris.plugin is a generic detection for any of the encrypted plug-ins that are downloaded by the W95.Hybris.gen worm. Category: Worm Virus Definitions: December 21, 2000 Threat Assessment: Wild: High Damage: Low Distribution: High Wild: Number of infections: 50 - 999 Number of sites: More than 10 Geographical distribution: Medium Threat containment: Moderate Removal: Moderate Technical description: After infecting a system, the W95.Hybris.gen worm attempts to connect to the newsgroup alt.comp.virus. If the worm connects successfully, it does the following: 1. Uploads its own encrypted plug-ins to this newsgroup. 2. Goes through the subject headers of the newsgroup messages, looks for other attached plug-ins, and tries to match a specific format. The subject header will specify the version number of the attached plug-in. 3. If a newer version of a plug-in is found, the worm downloads the more recent module and updates it's behavior. NOTE: There are numerous plug-ins available, and they have different characteristics. The most common one displays a large spiral that covers the Windows desktop and prevents you from using Windows. Another plug-in has similar behavior, but displays a solid black circle. The plug-ins may do one or more of the following: Generates a spiral image. Depending on system date and time (September 16 and 24, and on 59 minutes of each hour starting in 2001), the spiral image file is run. Upon execution, this plug-in initially loads OpenGL libraries that are used to display a large black and white spiral image. It also registers itself as a service, which prevents the process from being displayed in the Close Program dialog box. Infects DOS executable programs. The DOS .exe infection is a fairly simple dropping technique. The virus code is appended to the end of the file with a small 16-bit dropper routine. This routine creates a temporary file with an .exe extension in the \Temp folder, and then executes it. After that, the routine deletes the temporary executable. This infects the Wsock32.dll file with the worm. Infects PE executable programs. The PE executable has a much more complicated file infection routine. Only large PE files that have a code section long enough will be infected. The virus infection plug-in packs the original code area and overwrites it, if it will fit in the same place. This complicated antiheuristic infection technique is difficult (but not impossible) to repair. Currently SARC detects this plug-in as W95.Hybris.F. A removal tool has been created to remove this plug-in. Click here to obtain the W95.HybrisF fix tool. Infects all .zip and .rar archives on all available drives from C: to Z:. While infecting the .zip and .rar files, the worm renames .exe files in the archive to .ex$ extensions, and adds its copy of the worm to the archive with a .exe extension (this is the companion method of infection). Sends messages with encoded plug-ins to the alt.comp.virus newsgroup, and then gets new plug-ins from there. Spreads the worm to remote computers that are infected with the Backdoor.SubSeven Trojan. The plug-in detects such computers on the Web, and by using SubSeven commands, uploads a copy of the worm to the SubSeven infected computer. Encrypts worm copies with polymorphic encryption loop before sending the copy to others as an email attachment. Removal instructions: General removal instructions: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions. 2. Make sure that Norton AntiVirus is set to scan all files. 3. Restart the computer in Safe mode (Windows 95/98/Me). 4. Run a full system scan. If Norton AntiVirus detects W32.HybrisF, reboot into Normal mode and download and run the W95.HybrisF fix tool. This tool will repair any Windows executable files that have been infected by the W32.HybrisF.plugin. If Norton AntiVirus detects an infection other than W32.HybrisF, choose to repair any infected files. If Norton AntiVirus cannot repair the files, choose to delete them. 5. When the scan is finished, reboot into Normal Mode. Removal instructions for the black and white spiral or black circle: The spiral or circle loads from the run= line of the Win.ini file. In most cases, because the spiral will prevent you from opening programs, you need to: 1. Run LiveUpdate and run a full system scan. 2. Restart the computer in Safe mode. 3. Make sure Windows is set to show all files. 4. Remove the reference to the plug-in from the Run line of the Win.ini file. 5. Find and delete the plug-in itself. To update an scan: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the latest virus definitions. 2. Run a full system scan. To restart the computer in Safe mode: Windows 95: 1. Exit all programs. 2. Click Start, and then click Shut Down. The Shut Down Windows dialog box appears. 3. Click Restart, and then click OK. 4. When "Starting Windows 95..." appears on the screen, press F8.
