Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if there was anyone who had any family stories about their ancestors that they might be willing to share with the maillist? Perhaps these might be stories that your grandparents or ggrandparents, etc passed down to you that might reveal information about the family. If you could ask one of your ancestors one question, what would it be? Which ancestor was your favorite and why? I would like to learn more about my family ancestors as everyone does that is subscribed to this maillist so if there is anything you can share, please do. :-)) Thanks, Mike ************************* Michael G.

Hi Everyone, This posting is a clarification about my prior e-Address & e-Inbox virus protection message post. I apologize if anyone was mislead. My intention was to remind everyone about the rash of new viruses that are spreading like wild fire. The message was also intended to educate people about viruses and how they work, provide some anti-virus urls & information and a overview about a new method currently being used by people as an additional virus tool. My message stated: "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." (see message below) In addition, my message stated in the last paragraph: "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." However, there may have been some misunderstanding. My intent was *NOT* for anyone to solely use this method for anti-virus protection but to use it as an additional virus tool ("There is no substitute for good anti-virus software updated regularly!"). The truth of the matter is that this e-Address & e-Inbox virus protection method is not a definite fix as I tried to indicate ("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 probably should of said: This trick will *not* keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it *CAN* stop it from using your Addresses to spread further, and it *CAN* *Alert* you to the fact that the virus has gotten into your system. At any rate I would like to share an additional source http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/virus/quickfix.htm that will clarify and provide a professional overview. Also, several people replied about another anti-virus web site - AVG AntiVirus located at www.grisoft.com. I am not familiar with AVG anti-virus and haven't seen it reviewed anywhere yet. I do see it being used and it seems that it is becoming popular. I hope this information helps. Again, I apologize if anyone was mislead. If you have problems or further questions please let me know. :-) Thanks, Mike ************************* > 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.

Hello Everyone, Cornell Library Digital Collections http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/ Summary Descriptions of the CDL Collections What is the Making Of America (MOA) Collection? The Making Of America (MOA) Collection is a multi-institutional initiative to create and make accessible over the Internet a distributed digital library of important materials that document 19th-century America. The Cornell University and the University of Michigan libraries have cooperated in the initial phase of MOA (1994-1996), which was funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Charles E. Culpeper Foundation. For more information, see About the MOA. What is the Math Book Collection? The Math Book Collection is a collection that of consists of 571 books that were scanned from originals held by the Cornell University Library. All books were disbound and all pages scanned. This collection was part of a greater whole known as the CLASS project (see below) which dealt with a joint effort on the part of Xerox and Cornell University to digitize materials. This collection is viewed via the Hunter User Interface using Dienst 5.1 protocols. Some materials are viewed using an older interface using Dienst 3.5. What is the Ezra Cornell Collection? The Ezra Cornell Collection is a collection of Ezra Cornell's correspondence, diaries, and a published family genealogy. The materials in the collection were scanned from originals held by the Cornell University Library. This collection represents Cornell University's first effort to make a large manuscript collection available over the web. Ezra Cornell was a self-educated businessman with strong interests in politics and education. His interest in new technologies led him to play a critical role in promoting the widespread adoption of the telegraph. His correspondence consists of hand-written letters sent and received, drafts of outgoing letters, documents or drafts of documents, and occasionally letters between persons other than Ezra Cornell. Cornell's 33 diaries and notebooks address a wide variety of topics, and his letterbooks are bound copies of outgoing letters concerning the telegraph industry and the founding of Cornell. The collection is viewed via a locally-developed user interface using Dienst 3.5 protocols. It may also be accessed in Internet Explorer 5.0 or later via a finding aid encoded in XML according to the Encoded Archival Description standard. What is the Digital Preservation (CLASS) Collection? The Digital Preservation Collection consists of digital surrogates for materials on the history of the United States, New York State and local history, and core agricultural history titles. The collection consists of 456 general monographs, 42 Cornell dissertations, and 691 New York State historical pamphlets and monographs. We are in the process of making these images available for online viewing. What is the Core Historical Literature of Agriculture Collection? The Core Historical Literature of Agriculture (CHLA) is an electronic collection of agriculture texts published between the early 19th - late 20th century representing all areas of agricultural sciences and disciplines and selected because of their importance in agricultural history. Over 750,000 pages are included in this collection. The collection also includes 599 agricultural books that were selected for a project funded by the NEH to scan books and then convert the scanned images to microfilm. Who is involved at Cornell? Cornell Digital Library Collections represent a collaborative effort between a number of units in the Cornell University Library, including the Library Systems Office, the Information Technology unit in the Albert Mann Library , the Cornell Institute for Digital Collections (CIDC), and the Department of Preservation and Conservation. Staff from the Computer Science Department and Cornell Information Technologies have also contributed to the projects. I hope this information helps. If you have problems or further questions please let me know. :-) Thanks, Mike ************************* Michael G.

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.

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.
