So pardon me if I pass this along. Cheryl United Press Int'l . Health News . Health Worm, e-mail virus attacking Internet By SCOTT BURNELL, UPI Internet Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Private companies and a national computer security organization said Tuesday morning a new e-mail virus could be behind a "massive increase" in attempts to infect Internet servers worldwide. The first reports of both the virus and the increased malicious scanning attempts surfaced at about 9 a.m. EDT Tuesday, said Ken Van Wyk, president of Para-Protect, a computer security company in Centreville, Va. Although the source of the activity hasn't yet been traced, it started at almost exactly the same day and time at which the terrorist attacks began last week. Van Wyk told UPI it took only minutes for the e-mails and scanning behavior to show up across the company's client base, as well as at the home computers of its employees. The CERT Coordination Center, an organization at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh that studies computer vulnerabilities and acts as an information clearinghouse, also issued a warning Tuesday about the e-mail and "a massive increase in scanning activity directed at (a common computer Internet) port." An attachment in Microsoft Outlook e-mails appears to be the source of all the activity, Van Wyk said, although the company hasn't yet had a chance to analyze a copy of the e-mail. Opening the attachment, named "readme.exe," apparently forces the computer to run a program searching for 16 known security holes in Microsoft Internet Information Server software, he said. IIS was the program targeted by the "Code Red" and "Code Red II" worms earlier this summer, although it only runs on Windows NT and 2000 servers. The "readme.exe" virus, on the other hand, affects any Windows-based personal computer running Outlook, Van Wyk said. The "Code Red" occurrences prompted most companies to install fixes to IIS, so infection rates on Web servers appear to be low, he said. But far more seriously, this attack affects home computer users. Van Wyk said the scanning attempts come from computer addresses all over the Internet, including the digital subscriber line and cable modem connections associated with residential use. In order to minimize the attack's impact, PC users should avoid opening unfamiliar e-mail attachments, Van Wyk said. And for the time being, DSL or cable modem users should consider severing their Internet connection if that won't hurt an ongoing business or other important activity, he said. Antivirus software makers will distribute solutions for this attack as soon as they're available, Van Wyk said. -- Copyright 2001 by United Press International.

Orville is simply a wonderful and helpful person. He is affiliated with the AMHERST HISTORICAL SOCIETY and lives in Amherst. Currently many changes going on in that group. Please call and make an appointment with him as he takes care of a wheelchair bound family member. He is a member of LC CHap/OGS and probably other genealogy/historical groups with Lorain County. Did you know that in 1987, there were 33 groups whose focus was that of genealogy and local history & special historical projects. There are far fewer now. -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH

To Barbara Mihalcik In regards to you knowing someone doing the Shupe line. Please e-mail me at BobNMi@aol.com I have found the link back in Pennslyvannia for both Jacob Shupe (John Shupe and Anna Maire Messer) and his wife, Catherina Margaretha Keister (Lewis Ludwig Keister and Catherina Margaretha Altman). Thanks, Bob

Thanks, Elvin - I appreciate the help. I don't know where you live, but if you are in the Lorain Cty. area, the Historical Society there is wonderful. They have access to church records which you may find helpful...... Orville Manes is the person in charge. Here's to success in the PIPPERT line. Thanks for keeping my KRUECKs in mind. janet

Hello Elvin or Jerri....... wanted to try to respond to your post. I have a George KRUECK who married an Anna PIPPERT.... I have no marriage date nor birth date for Anna, but George was born about 1880, so we could guess she might be about the same age, tho she was George's second wife.... I wonder if Anna might be a child of your Jphann Justus and Anna............. George and his family were all from Rockensuess, Kurhessen, Prussia............ I wonder how far from the PIPPERT's hometown...? I do not have much info. for you other than this, I am afraid.......... If you find anything on my Anna PIPPERT and George KRUECK, I would love to hear. Thanks so much - janet

Hello, I have had good luck finding obituaries for my Lorain Co. ancestors from the Cleveland Public Library Necrology Files on line database: www.cpl.org Hope this helps, Richelle Parma, OH

Hello Janet, Nice to hear from you. I will answer your easy question first. Rockenseuss is not far from Berneburg in Germany. It is a about a mile or so East by Southeast of Berneburg. I know that there were some Pippert's in Rockenseuss, but at this point have not been able to find a link between them and my family. With Regards to your Anne Pippert and her possible birth being around 1880, that might match up with a child of Conrad Pippert. The reason I say might is I have so far only found a reference to his having a child named Anne in a 1905 rural directory for Lorain Co. She was listed with his widow and his other two children as living on a farm outside of Amherst. Conrad's family has been very difficult to trace, because for some reason he does not show up in the 1880 or 1900 census records and the records that I have access to for births are really difficult to work with. The early birth records were not recorded in a chronological or alphabetical order, but in the order they came in. This requires you to search line by line for the desired birth records and I have had mixed success to date. I cannot tell whether they just did not report the births or whether I have not guessed how the name may have been misspelled yet. If I do find information on Anne and it indicates that she was married to a Kreuck, I will be happy to provide the information to you along with any other information that you are interested in getting for her family and ancestors which I have back to the early 1600's in Germany.

Hi I am new to this list and I am interested in making contact with anyone who is also doing research on the Pippert surname in Lorain Co., OH. I am specifically interested in the townships of Amherst, Brownhelm & Henrietta where the descendants of Johann Justus Pippert settled. The family immigrated from Germany (Berneburg, Kurhessen, Prussia) in 1863 (George) & 1866 for Johann, wife Anna & his other two sons Conrad & Martin. They all appear to have settled initially in the Amherst area of Lorain Co. and stayed in that area up until at least the early 1900's. I have been able to trace the family up to 1920 using Census records and some additional records obtained from on-line sources and from the LDS films of Ohio records, but have many holes and questions left to answer. My immediate interest in addition to making contact with other researchers in the area is to obtain obituaries for some of the later members of the family to obtain clues to other family members born after 1920. The surnames of spouses were Hildebrand, Bauer, Schmuach, Dock, Holl Henning, Kline, Bishop, Engemann & Andress. If someone can help me with tracking down obituaries for the listed townships, I will provide the dates that I have for when they died. Thanks in Advance

Hi Everyone (sorry to be posting so much!) Again in my files and of no use to me are a few sheets of printed material on Jacob Shupe and his family. Included are a photo copy picture of Isaac Shupe and his wife Minerva Richmond Shupe. Some discussion regarding Jacob Shupe and the first distillery in the township. Anyway, free for the taking, they haven't linked into the line I was working on at the time so its time for these pages to go. Would rather than send them to someone who might have use for them than put them in the recycling box (which is already FULL!) Thanks!
