Teresa, My apology, I'm not sure how you got that email as I thought I had sent it privately to an individual and not the list. The other person has WEB TV and was telling me how it worked. Like the majority of us on genealogy lists they had received this virus attachment and we had gotten on to the subject privately about WEB TV. Somehow I must have sent the email to the list as it was late at night. That was my mistake. To answer your question, "No, if you don't open the virus attachment or paper clip in some cases, you will not get this virus." "Don't open any attachments from anyone, without confirming that the sender did send the attachment -- even if you know the sender." Sorry, again for the mistake. Paula

Ruth and Sallie were daughters of Benjamin F. Gerelds and Mary E. Stiles who lived for many years on #9 Hiway. Benjamin wasmy maternal ggrandfather. Thanks. Betty

Though I have worked on my family history for several years now I have avoided working on the Indian connection simply because I just didn't know anything about researching this portion of my family. Now I am on a step by step learning process. I have found a roll number and card number for a Lulu Williams, age 18, 1/16th Choctaw. (I realize that 1/16th blood line means nothing as to becoming a member of some tribes, my objective is to prove family stories of Indian blood line) I am sure there is someone on the list that can help me, with what I hope is the next step. Here is what I need: Do I get copies of this info. from the National Archives? If so is there a special form to use? Where do I get the form? Can this information on this card number for this person be found in Oklahoma? If so where? Have a great day Charm

Hi Tina, Your welcome. You got better help farther on! What is driving me nuts right now is that the obits and marriages sometimes show up in places far, far away from the actual event...

That is great thanks for them. If I had a brain I sure would be dangerous. Maybe I need new batteries or something. I wish that cousin of mine would have spelled his own grandfathers name right though. It boggles my mind as to how people can mess things up when they have the correct spelling or version right in front of them. Thanks again. Tina Knapp

Alison, Boy do I feel really stupid. Guess who lives right here in Shawnee and never thought to look in our paper? I just assumed that it should have been in his home town and not here. Well, I guess I'm the biggest ??? at last. Thank you for the help. Tina Knapp born, raised, and bred in Shawnee.

OK I have a long shot and a Looooooooooooong shot here. My Aunt died in Midwest City back on April 16, 2001. Would anyone happen to have the paper from the 17 or 18? Or just the obits, that would be great. I would like just a copy of the obit with the date and name of the paper. If anyone does her name was Vera Fain of Shawnee. Please let me know. Now for the good one. I am looking for an obit that would have been in a paper in the area of Paden back in September of 2000. Around the 27 give or take a day or two. That one is a Curney Hill, again if anyone can help please let me know. Thanks for any help. Tina Knapp

Well, here is a _little_ help. If you go to google, and search on "Curney Hill", Sept 27, 2000 obituaries for _Shawnee Online_ is found. There are a few sentences about Mr. Hill. I don't know if this means there was a longer obituary in the printed paper or not. You have to use the double quotes around Mr. Hill's name to get google to search on that exact phrase.
