Yes it is just mean spirited. I see the Cambria County Facebook page has been hacked once or twice. Just people with nothing to do.

Most hackers are simply mean spirited people OR some are trying to steal something from you. About 1,000,000,000 instances of hacking occured in 2012! http://www.today.com/video/today/49928996#49928996 One piece of good advice is to change your passworde every 60 to 90 DAYS and at least 8 characthers long and and complicated and meaningless as possible.. Use a combination of letters, numbers and characters and at least one UPPER CASE letter. I know I learned the hard way by letting my stay the same for over a year!

I stopped trying to use the e-mail, but I had a hard time finding someone reliable to try to fix it. Unfortunately, I can't get the e-mail back and my list of automatic contacts is gone, but all else seems OK. In addition, my daughter says my e-mail sent out a post saying I was stuck in Spain and needed $200 dollars. Correspondents who knew both she and I contacted her. "What is your mom doing in Spain?" I have received this sort of e-mail before about other contacts, but now it hit me!! I had no idea that this had happened, or how many of my contacts received the request. When I got this sort of post in the past, I sent an e-mail back to the person who supposedly contacted me, so they would know it had happened. Little did I know what a mess it would make. Supposedly I am protected now, but who knows? I am definitely still in PA, although I just got a renewed passport [wanna bet that is what started all this hacking?] and am planning to go to Europe to see my daughter later this summer. But be assured I would not ask any of you for money!! So, if you had anything you sent to me, or any requests for data, please resend it and I will attempt to take care of it. I am especially anxious for newly found relatives in the Knorr, Kline, Zettl, Mack, Reilly, Stoltz, Trinkly-Drenkel families to contact me again. I have found most of what they wanted in my files. Thank goodness I keep paper files, too, even though dragging them around has been a pain. It is only the most recent information that I completely lost. Through some very helpful distant relative connections I have discovered recently that the only Trinkly-Drenkel relatives with that last name, John George Trenkly-Drenkel and his family, sold their farm on Old Dutch Road in East Carroll Township, to my direct ancestor Charles Feighner and his wife, Sophia Ebig, [half-sister of John George Trinkly-Drenkel], and John George Trinkly-Drenkel moved to Kansas after the Civil War. His full-siblings, children of Berhnhardt Drenkel-Trinkley, married into the Stoltz, Hartman [John George married Sara Hartman], and Zorn-Zirn families. All the other Trinkley-Drenkel families in Cambria County MAY be related, but they were from collateral branches of the family. My descent is from John George Trinkley-Drenkel's half-siblings, the Ibig-Ebig children of his mother, Geneova [Eve or Genevieve] Schwand, and step-father, Roman Ibig-Ebig. [So far, Roman is the only member of the Ibig-Ebig family to emigrate. The name is often confu! sed with the various spelling of the Illig family.] If that seems to be a lot of repetition, I wanted to attempt to make it completely clear.
