I have removed this subscriber. I sent several emails to this address informing them that their computer was infected - I received no reply. Until I hear back that their computer is clean - they are off the list. Thanks and keep a keen eye out for this virus! Best Wishes, Carol Hepburn chepburn@qwest.net Phoenix, AZ USA

I posted a query regarding Where is Large? By return I received the worm virus (dotbrn@softco) The subject line was the same as my own. Dangerous... As Carol H says - take care Milly

Hi all, The badtrans virus goes through the infected persons inbox and sends itself to all unread email addresses! Usually the person who is infected doesn't know it -- until someone tells them. Do not open any attachment that doesn't end in a suffix that you recognize (.txt, .html, .gif, .jpg or .ged) Suffixes that are executables (.exe) as well as .scr (screensavers) and .pif (often called image_something) are known virus file suffixes. Best Wishes, Carol Hepburn chepburn@qwest.net Phoenix, AZ USA

FYI, it looks like <dotbrn@softcom.net> got the virus. The virus appeared as an attached document called news_doc.scr (scr is the extension for a screensaver) and was sent to me after I posted a note to the group.

I just got a Bad Trans virus from someone on this list. I have been forewarned, so of course, did not open it, and Norton caught it. Someone whose name is Dor, or something like that. Be sure no one else opens this, and Dor or whoever you are, be aware you are sending this out to all of us! Joyce Looking for POTTS/LOVAT/ELLIOTT in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Canada,

Just an F.Y.I. The Barony of Strabane Upper is covered by the civil parishes of Badoney Lower, Badoney Upper, Cappagh, and Termonmaguirk (T'guirk for one townland, Drumnakilly). The civil parishes of Badoney Lower and Badoney Upper were in the Union of Gortin and Cappagh and Termonmaguirk in the Union of Omagh. To complicate things slightly, the Union of Gortin was dissolved circa late 1870s. Thereafter, the civil parish of Badoney Lower was part of the Union of Omagh and Badoney Upper, was part of the Union of Strabane. (This becomes important when trying to locate vital records) I hope this information is of help to someone. For specifics on your particular townland, see http://www.seanruad.com

I'm not sure who posted this, and my old msgs are gone from my inbox. How did you get this info on James MURDOCH in the Army?

In 1803 James Murdoch was a Sergeant in 2nd Battalion of 42nd Foot Regiment of the Scots Grey Guards stationed at the Weeley Barracks in North Britain in the Capt. Robt. McAras Company. He was sent to Ireland in 1804 and again in 1806, came back to North Britain until 1808 and in September of that year was sent to Dublin with Capt. Archibald Menzies Company. In June 1809 he was sent to Rodrigo, Spain where he fought in the Peninsular War with the same Company. Unfortunately, James Murdoch died in service in November of 1809. James had married MARY TULLY and their only known child James Jur was christened in the Parish of Ardersier in the County of Inverness, Scotland, on 22nd April, 1808 be went to Dublin and thereafter Spain. I assume Mary and baby James stayed in Ireland instead of returning to Scotland following the death of James Senior as most of our records now show County Antrim or Derry as places of birth for the next generation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James Murdoch WO 12-5554 November 1803 Rank Sgt Company Capt Robt McAras Station Weeley Barracks North Britain 2nd Btn of the 42nd of Foot.

List , I just happened to come across some info on early Welsh burials while looking thru a book in the opthomologists office the other day....thought I would pass it on....someone may find the info useful. In a book entitled A Pleasant View of Martindale by Irene Witmer and Mrs. Keller Sensenig, I found reference to early Welsh settlement in our predomantly Pa. Dutch, German, Amish, Lancaster County, Penna., USA. Prior to the Pa Germans settling in this area, the Welsh and Scotch Irish settled here, but as the Germans arrived, most of the earlier settlers of Welsh and Irish descent moved farther West (prior to 1740). (Not me, my ancestors arrived in Lancaster County in 1824.) In an old Welsh cemetery between Martindale and Terre Hill, PA. there are members of the MORGAN, DAVIS, HAMBRIGHT, PAWLING AND TREGO families,and other early Welsh settlers who procured their homesites from Rees MORGAN on whom William Penn settled thousands of acres in eastern and southeastern Lancaster and parts of Berks County in PA. It mentions a James GALT who purchased 500 acres from Rees MORGAN of Morgantown, PA., and Robert JENKINS of Churchtown, PA. who were granted land by the Penns. Some markings on some of the tombstones: Here lies Rees MORGAN, after whom Morgantown was named , died Jan 13, 1769, at the age of 59. At his side lies his wife, Margaret who died on 1781 at the age of 76. General Henry H. HAMBRIGHT lies between his two wives. He was born in 1719 and died at the age of 85. His wives: Mary , and Mary Ann, are by his side. John PATTON, another soldier , born in County of Antrim in Ireland and died in 1832, at the age of 83. Col. John HAMBRIGHT, indian war fighter, may have been Henry's brother. Thomas EDWARDS, first judge of Lancaster Co. died 1765, age 91. Isaac DAVIS, died 1838, age 83. Also his wife, Lydia died 1821 at age of 63. Elizabeth DAVIS, born 1785, died 1872. Susanna DAVIS, born 1825, died 1851. Richard DAVIS, died Oct 12, 1861, aged 72. John DAVIS, 1783-1824. Zaccheus Davis Esq. died 1788 at age of 78, his wife Joanna, died 1768, aged 58. Zaccheus Davis , Jr. died 1793 at age of 36. Another John DAVIS, died 1774, at age 68. His wife, Elizabeth, died 1793, aged 72. James TREGO, 1798-1872. His wife Lydia W., who died 1854, at age 51. Elizabeth PAWLING died 1785 at age 42. Jane DILEN, native of Ireland, died 1826 at age of 80. It's kind of strange that I never heard of this cemetery before a few days ago, since I lived in the village of Martindale while growing up in the 1960's, but of course I was not interested in such things back then. Hope some of the above can help someone out there. I am presently researching Edward RICE, arrived in Bucks Co., PA in 1736, living in County Tyrone, N. Ireland 1724 - 1736. Prior to 1724, living in Wales , we believe. Looking for info on Edward Rice during his stay in N. Ireland and his life prior to that. Bob Rice Lancaster County, Penna. USA

I also threw in some other Dublin research you might be interested in. TA and GV are at the National Archives, Dublin (as are old wills and administrations). I can't swear to it, but I think the collection includes present-day Northern Ireland. (I've done a lot of my Tyrone research in Dublin, so I know there are records there; I just can't remember what I've looked at where). For info on what else they have, see http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy.html -- the National Archives, Dublin, genealogy guide TA and GV also are at the National Library, Dublin. See http://www.nli.ie/fr_servfamily.htm -- their family history page. Note also, they have several online catalogues. The Registry of Deeds has early Ulster info. Their web site is http://www.irlgov.ie/landreg/default.htm See also http://www.tcd.ie/Library/online.htm -- Online Catalogue for Trinity College, Dublin Hope those sites are helpful. Claire

Between 1923-78 the Beltona record label issued over 3000 x 78-rpm records as well as LPs and EPs. Most of these were by Scottish artists and I am anxious to find out something of their lives and careers. Scottish popular culture as represented on commercial gramophone records has been almost totally ignored and my researches aim to rectify this state of affairs. Visit my web site at www.beltonaproject.co.uk for a complete list of artists and more details of the project. I am always willing to help anyone with a query about a 78rpm record of Scottish interest (i.e When was it recorded?) Bill Dean-Myatt. bill@beltonaproject.co.uk
