Although this is not directly about genealogy..... I think it is very interesting.... I'm going to check mine tonight...... Credit card fraud is a continuing problem. Check regularly to be sure your number hasn't been stolen. CardCops, http://www.cardcops.com, has collected thousands of credit card numbers from hackers' chat rooms. You can scan the database for yours. If it's there, cancel your card. Bunny SHARING works.... try it..... just once... you could reap the benefits ! ! ! ! !.

If you have to place your number in to check it you may well be putting the wolf in the hen house. I went into the area and a warning came up saying that it had changed from a secure area to unsecure. How do you know who is running this? I did not wait to see what you had to do, I just got out fast. Brenda

If you have tried to use USGenNet, they are still having trouble. Here is a response from the Vice President.(Ginger gave permission to forward this.) They are working on it. <snip> USGenNet ordered a new server from Dell on December 2nd, but they have been giving us nothing but delays, partial truths and excuses ever since. They are currently telling us shipment will be sometime between Jan. 9th and Jan. 13th!!! We are now working on other, faster, options and we are hoping to have a server shipped to us on Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, there is still a temporary USGenNet website operating on Fred Smoot's personal domain and you can still access it here: www.californios.us/usgn/ Gloria HCGS http://hardincogenealogycenter.homestead.com/index.html List Owner [email protected] http://hardincogenealogycenter.homestead.com/gloriaspage.html ACGS http://allencogenealogysociety.homestead.com/Main.html

This has been mentioned in the newsletter before. This does NOT work perfectly, but you can get a good idea of what the Web page is about... Have you ever been looking for information on one of your surnames and come across Web pages in a different language? It is frustrating because you don't know if you are missing out on important information that pertains to your family history. Here is an on-line translation tool that you can use to translate some of those pages. Be sure to bookmark (or, make a "Favorite") this Web page: **The "Babelfish Translation" tool at http://babel.altavista.com/ Go to this site right now and take a look. You can translate German, Italian, French, Spanish,Russian, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese into English... or, English into any of those languages. *You can "Translate a block of text" where you can enter up to 150 words. So you can copy and paste short segments of the text (words from a Web page or e-mail message). All you have to do is paste the text into the area (box on the screen), select how you want it translated (for example "German to English"), and click on the "Translate" button.

Thanks to everyone for the advice on the charges to my credit card from Genseekers. I'm calling card co. again in the morning. Gay

"Hello, is this the FBI?" "Yes. What do you want?" "I'm calling to report about my neighbor Billy Bob Smith. He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood.stumps" (He gives the address, etc.) "Thank you very much for the call, sir." The next day, the FBI agents descend on Billy Bob's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swore at Billy Bob and left. The phone rings at Billy Bob's house. "Hey Billy Bob! Did the FBI come?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your firewood?" "Yep." "Merry Christmas Buddy" Happy Holidays to All of you Wonderful People. Rose

Twas the evening of Christmas and all thru the house Not a keyboard was being used nor was there a click of a mouse All of the good folks of NEWGEN were admiring their gifts And trips for ham and turkey were taken in shifts Off in a corner all alone and forlorn Was the trusty old computer used and quite worn But alas, not to worry old instrument with sorrow Your genealogist and owner will be back tomorrow.
