HI every one. Had I known my posting of seeing all the virus' come through would have started this I would have never posted. It is very wise to have an Anti Virus Program to protect your computer and hard work. I do have one but found that good old gut instinct has worked every time for me too. I don't want to be the guilty one an infect other computers.I have worked too hard and too long to lose what I have. Maybe this person hasn't been around long enough to cultivate that instinct.
Sorry I lost about 120 email when I updated my brower. Hope I didn't miss anything important on this site. Thanks.

Why Tombstone Dates Are Not Always Accurate >From Randy Willis randy@randywillis.org www.randywillis.org Some researchers make the mistake of always treating tombstone dates as the "Bible." For example, Daniel Hubbard Willis, Jr. and Julia Ann Graham Willis' eldest daughter was Carvelia S. Willis. She was born February 10, 1869, and died March 31, 1941. She never married. She is buried at the Graham Cemetery in Forest Hill, La. Her date of birth on her grave marker is incorrect by 10 years. The question is why? Most of the tombstones from the 1840s to the 1920s were made out of basalt (which is too hard to work without machinery), wood, iron or sandstone. Most of the recent tombstones (after about 1960), are made of harder stones, mostly granite. The simpler ones were made of cement and of course, the more affluent families could afford marble. Most of those made out of iron rusted away and the wood ones rotted away. When this occurred, often, a caring family member or friend would set out to replace the tombstone. Many times, this is when the error in the inscribed date of birth would occur and less often, the date of death. Dates of death are obviously more vivid in our memories. I remember, that my own mother would not give her children her year of birth. She remained a "Jack Benny 39" for over 40 years. Those of us who have been digging up family facts and dates for over "x" number of years can remember how difficult it was before the Internet, wonderful genealogy web sites and of course e-mail. I use to pay "certified" genealogist a lot (for me at least) of money to find what is free at the click of a "mouse" today.
Right! I'm sure most of us on rootsweb lists know we cannot get a virus from a rootsweb list post. I would have to say that saving $20 is a big deal for me, especially when I can get a virus check for nothing on line. :) Bennie Janet Hubbard wrote: > > Please be aware that viruses don't get sent through the list.

Please be aware that viruses don't get sent through the list. In order for anyone of us to have your email address so our computer could send you a virus, we would have had to have corresponded privately. I'll bet that by sorting through your files, some of you can pretty well determine who it is.

Need someone to give me a 1st grade set of instructions to set up spreadsheet.
