I know I know I know... but am checking out all avenues... and I am certainly aware that the Lists are virus protected, but as a reminder as well and passing along information... xxxxxxxxxxxxxx My ISP has a virus checker on it which means that virus are checked before reaching my computer. I do however, have own anti virus program on my computer ....just in case! I am being bombarded with lots and lots of virus.... mostly from 4 different places.. We are currently working on my genealogical lists, my personal mail list, my government list etc.. So would you take the time to use the Micro Trend FREE on line virus checker.. http://housecall.trendmicro.com If have never used this... simply open with internet explorer and follow the instructins. It works very well with your other antivirus programs. I have Nortons system works 2003 on older computer and have AVG by grisoft on this new computer... REMEMBER this is the FREE one... if down load the PC cillian program, one must uninstall current anti virus program then install PC cillian.. Please check ...to see if you have this particular virus...WORM_NETSKY.C Would appreciate it.. Glory Bee

Kentucky has begun putting vital records on line. If you have Kentucky roots, you may want to check it out. For those who haven't yet seen the New Mexico Death Index (1899-1940), Sam-Quito Padilla (Head Coordinator) and Gina Heffernan (Co-Coordinator) have managed a great resource, assisted by many wonderful volunteers: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nm/nmdi.htm Susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherri Hall" <ldrbelties@earthlink.net> To: <STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2004 7:13 AM Subject: [STATE-COORD] Kentucky Vital Records Project > The KYGenWeb Project is very proud to announce the latest addition to our > "Special Collections" of research references for those with Kentucky roots, > the Kentucky Vital Records Project. > (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kvrp) > > What began as a "dream" of 3 of us involved with the KYGenWeb Project and > the KYGenWeb Archives, a centralized collection of Kentucky birth, marriage > and death records, is now available in the first stages for Kentucky > researchers.

My aunt recently sent me a photo postcard that is 80-100 years old. In the letter accompanying it, she asked my advice on how to clean up some old photos safely. She said they have been handled a lot, and there are quite a few that date back to the beginning of the 1900s. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice that I can share with her? Thanks! Susan

There are some marvelous resources here. If you poke around, you can find all kinds of useful information. The Hancock County project is awesome!

Has anyone heard of Log Cabin Camp? Can you suggest where Mr. Allen might be able to find some information and photos? Susan From: "Donald Allen" <jdonaldallen@charter.net> Subject: Info. Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2004 19:39:33 -0500 My name is Donald Allen. I am coordinator for Haralson County, GA. I lived for about a year at a place near Roswell called Log Cabin Camp. Sort of a motel/resturant place. My father worked there. We were sent there for his health. He died shortly after we came back to GA. We lived there in 1941/42. Like to obtain information about this place, photos, etc. Thanks. Donald Allen

Another sharing and passing along. again thanks to Sally.. So much knowledge to share and pass along. Glory Bee Until the thirteenth century, most people in England were known only by their first names. They did not have last names (surnames) at all. A few members of England's upper class of society started using an extra name, or surname, to identify the family members. Little by little, the practice of using surnames propagated downward though English society. By the end of the sixteenth century, almost everyone in England had adopted a surname. These surnames were passed down from father to sons and to daughters, indicating family members. Many of the early surnames were based on a person's relationship with another, their trade, where they lived, or even their appearance or character. For example: Johnson normally means "John's son." Nottingham is the name given to many who lived in Nottingham, England. Smith was applied to blacksmiths, tinsmiths or other tradesmen. Ford would be a name given to someone who lived near a shallow river crossing. Black might indicate someone with black hair or a swarthy complexion. Indeed, it is quite possible that your name came from England of the late Middle Ages. To be sure, there have been tens of thousands of name changes since then. Your family may not be from England at all, even if you do now carry an English-sounding surname. Yet, it can be interesting to find the original meaning of your surname as it was originally used in England. Family Chronicle Magazine has compiled a list of the more common surnames and their original meanings. Try one of the links below to discover the origin of your surname. A-E Surnames http://www.familychronicle.com/namesae.htm F-L Surnames http://www.familychronicle.com/namesfl.htm M-R Surnames http://www.familychronicle.com/namesmr.htm S-Z Surnames http://www.familychronicle.com/namessz.htm Please note that there is no insinuation that this applies to your earliest ancestors. These surname meanings simply indicate that someone was given that surname for the reason listed. That "someone" may or may not be your ancestor. Indeed, the names mentioned above (Johnson, Nottingham, Ford and Black) are common and were given to many unrelated families. The same may be true of your surname. How common is your surname in America? Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, and Brown are the most commonly occurring surnames in the United States today. Find out how common or unique your surname is at the PBS Web site at http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2001/thesweetestsound/popularityindex.html . (This is a fun one.)
