Hi Everyone, My computer picked up a virus somehow quite awhile back even though I was running anti-virus software and it wasn't any fun. Recently we have seen a rash of new viruses that are spreading like wild fire. I wanted to let you know about a computer trick that is really ingenious in its simplicity. As you may know, when or if a virus gets into your computer it can head straight for your e-mail Addresses or e-mail Inbox and send itself to everyone in there, thus infecting all your friends and associates. You see, that is how these viruses are spread. No one wants to admit that they are infected. And if you do *not* have virus software running on your system, that is being updated regularly (this cannot be stressed enough), then you could be infected and not realize it. There are two major commercial virus protection software McAfee http://www.mcafee.com and Norton Antivirus http://www.symantec.com, there is a site with a free virus scan option that will at least let you know if you have picked up any nasty gremlins that you are unaware of. So, take a moment to visit Trend Micro's HouseCall http://housecall.antivirus.com/ and run the free scanner. Not only will Trend Micro's HouseCall tell you if you are infected it will deal with any discovered viruses. This service is very easy to use and worthwhile because it puts your mind at ease. There is no substitute for good anti-virus software updated regularly! This trick will *not* keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from using your Addresses to spread further, and it will *Alert* you to the fact that the virus has gotten into your system. Follow the instructions below: QUICK INSTRUCTIONS 1. Open your Addresses and click on New Contact just as you would do if you were adding a new friend or associate to your list of e-mail Addresses. In the box where you would type your friend's first name, type in !000, that's an exclamation mark followed by 3 zeros. In the box below where it prompts you to enter the new e-mail address, type in e-AddressAlert. If it tells you this is not a valid address just say yes to add it, or ok. Then complete everything by clicking add, enter, ok, etc. Here's what you've done and why it works: The Contact !000 will be placed at the top of your Addresses as entry #1. This will be where the virus will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends and associates. But when it tries to send itself to !000, it will be undeliverable because of the phony e-mail address you entered, e-AddressAlert. If the first attempt fails, which it will because of the phony address, the virus goes no further and your friends and associates will not be infected. 2. Open a New Mail e-mail message. Address the New Mail e-mail message to yourself by putting your e-mail address in the To: JohnDoe@anyone.com box. In the Subject box below add - Subject: e-InboxAlert Below in the body of the message copy and paste this message for reference. I suggest that you save this message in your Drafts folder so that you always have a copy should you mistakenly delete it. Next complete this protection by copying and pasting to make a valid copy of your Draft Message or an *actual message* and send it to yourself. *Leave* the message at the top of your inbox so that it is the first message that the virus sends itself to. Here's what you've done and why it works: Your e-InboxAlert e-mail message remains at the top of your inbox. This will be where the virus will start in an effort to send itself to all your Inbox e-mail. When it sends itself to you first, you will be alerted by another e-mail message with the subject title e-InboxAlert. It will then be necessary to clean your computer with your anti-virus software. If you are like me and uneasy about viruses put your mind at ease by following-up with a double check by another anti-virus protection. Take a moment to visit Trend Micro's HouseCall http://housecall.antivirus.com/ and run the free scanner. Not only will Trend Micro's HouseCall tell you if you are infected it will deal with any discovered viruses. This service is very easy to use and worthwhile. The *advantage* of these methods: if an e-mail cannot be delivered from your Addresses you will get an e-mail telling you that an e-mail addressed to e-AddressAlert could not be delivered or if you receive an e-mail in your Inbox from yourself with the subject line e-InboxAlert, either way, you will be *notified* of this in your Inbox almost immediately. Hence, if you ever receive these notifications, you will know right away that you have a virus in your system. You can then take steps to get rid of it! Unfortunately, some viruses are random and there is no substitute for good anti-virus software updated regularly. If you are running virus protection software, that you are updating regularly (this cannot be stressed enough), you will not need to panic. I hope this information helps. If you have problems or further questions please let me know. :-)) Thanks, Mike ************************* Michael G.

Correction: Jacob Spears and Elizabeth Keller are the parents of the following children: [Apparently Elizabeth's maiden name was Fry -- she married a Keller who died, then a Ewalt then SPEARS?] Solomon Abraham Rachel Rebecca [Matson] Sarah [first married Coleman -- then Jones] Noah -- http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/scott/spears.n.txt I think I said that Solomon and Elizabeth were the parents of Rachel Spears... and I was mistaken. Don't forget to check Early Bourbon Co., KY families here: http://www.shawhan.com/bourbonfamilies.html Also I just realized that the William Hutchinson in St. Louis in the early 1900s was the son of Benjamin Franklin Hutchinson -- who died in Kirkwood, St. Louis, MO in 1876. I've got a letter that his son William wrote to his wife Mary -- apologizing after an argument... a very sweet letter. Also I also didn't realize that Eliza Ann Hutchison who married Thomas Hickman married a second time to Mr. Ormrod and there was one son. Charles E. Leonard notes this in a letter to a cousin about the family tree.

According to the Veterans Administration, 2,212 U.S. World War I veterans were alive on September 30, 2001. By 2008, only 110 are expected to be still living. It is estimated that the last U.S. veteran of the "Great War" will have passed away by 2018, one hundred years from the time the war ended. It is unknown how many still survive in Missouri. If anyone has a photo that they would like to contribute to the below website, honoring the last few remaining World War I veterans of ANY Missouri county, please contact me at: verdun1918@earthlink.net They do not have to be presently living, just be among the last survivors.

Hi Everyone, I have been asked to post this information to the list(s). Thought you might have an interest in this information. It is being posted to the maillist for Colleen Pustola the SPAM-L maillist admin. Please direct your questions to Colleen, ladyaudris@earthlink.net. ************************** Hi all, Please forgive if you receive this message more than once. I'm trying to reach as many people as possible. Effective yesterday, I am now discussion coordinator for the SPAM list at Rootsweb. This will be my primary list now to discuss Family Discovery and their associate domains and any other of their ilk that comes along to plague us! :) Also, any SPAM-related issue is permitted for discussion. Since many of you send my Family Discovery messages out to your friends, relatives and lists, you might also want to let them know I'm cranking this group up. It's one that's been on Rootsweb's books but hasn't been used for years. I hope to make this list one that nobody wants to miss out on. To join, simply address a new email form to: SPAM-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages) OR SPAM-D-request@rootsweb.com (for the digest) Put the word subscribe in the top line of the body and mail it. This list may be super quiet until Family Discovery (or anyone else) decides to begin their onslaughts, or it may be high-trafficked. We won't know until we all come together and see who's been receiving what. I hope this finds each of you having a WONDERFUL week! :) Colleen ************************* In response to the prime question newbies seem to have, Spam is your e-mail inbox equivalent of junk mail. It can range from credit lines being granted to you to the latest porn site to a supposed-genealogy enterprise. In any case, they want your money ~ either by cash, check or credit card. We family historians are prime targets for some unscrupulous vendors who like nothing more than to take our money and in return, give us shoddy materials/services or none at all. They know we're desperate for information and use all sorts of ploys against us. Newbies to genealogy and computers are especially prone to fall into these people's traps, though I have to tell you, with some of the come-ons we get in our inboxes, even some experienced researchers fall into their traps. Realize that you're not alone in this and shouldn't feel embarrassed if you happened to be one of the unfortunates who fall/fell for a scam. With this list, and working together, perhaps we can protect ourselves and our friends, relatives and listmembers from being scammed through Spam. I hope this has answered some of your questions.

My Grandmother was Margaret Jane [Watkins] [Chenoweth] Graves. She lived in Henry Co. MO. in the White Oak community from 1890 to 1913. She was born in 1882 and died in 1980. Among her old pictures we found those of the Rombold family. There is one marked "Ross and Bettie Rombold". Another is marked "The Rombold Kids". Another is of "Stella Rombold". Another says "Bettie's Boy". I would love to give the pictures to descendants of these people as they were friends of my Grandmother and not members of our family. Suzanne Graves Crawford

Is your Margaret in any way related to the Martha Watkins who married a James A. Tutt -- Martha is buried in the Laurel Oak Cemetery in Windsor, Henry CO., MO -- her daughter Mary Mildred married Charles C. Michael. I believe Martha B. Watkins father was F. H. Watkins....??

Lewis, b. 1843 in TN. Per obit; "He was in a school at Leesville, Henry County, MO. in 1861 when he enlisted in the Confederate Army, and for 18 months he remained in active duty, until he was finally captured by the Federal soldiers." He could have been a student or a teacher at the school, as he started teaching at the age of 16. The next info I have is he was elected Assessor of Franklin County, KS in 1868. Since I cannot locate him in TN., I need any info from MO. I can get. Thank you for you time & care. Linda

In my research on the Sharp family, I find a Crittendon C. Sharp who was the son of John F. Sharp. John F. Sharp was an early founder of Clinton, MO and one of the first judges. Crittendon C. Sharp was born in about 1823 in Whitley Co., KY. The information I have on him is that he married Jane H. Brummit/Brummet 9 October 1846. They apparently had a child, Emily, born about 1849. I have found a Crittendon Sharp living in Cass Co., MO about this time. However, by the 1860 census, Crittendon is living back with his parents in Henry County. What happened to his wife and child? I have run across the Brummit name (various spellings) in both Johnson and Henry Counties, but have not found anyone who can help me with how they relate to one another. If possible, I want to find out what happened to the wife and child and perhaps find out the death date of Crittendon. I have found him on the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census.
