Enos' relative, James, died earlier in 1892, I believe. Thank you. Mary

Hi Anne, This issue provided information on my guncle, Luke Gilmartin's second wife. I didn't know when or how she died. Very tragic, it seems. They'd only been married 6 mos. Thanks. Mary

Thanks for your message. I was curious about the unusual church name, but did not know its history. I found lots of mentions of ancestors--there were numbers of them from both sides of the family in Providence during the years of publication, so it was an adventure for me to discover this little paper. Anne

Patricia H., Courene, Marilyn M. and Diana, thanks for the help about the formation of Lackawanna County from Luzerne County in August 1878. This will help. I was about to give up. I am unsure how the list works, if this is duplicated and goes to all or just to Patricia H. Please let me know so I can send it to the rest if needed. Patricia, your Snyders are not named on my chart, but I do not have all relatives listed. This is for a friend and it is not complete, just all he has. I do not have siblings of William Snyder (b. 1840) listed below. My problem has been that there are too many Snyders to check thru lists!! Seeking information of William (1840-1920) married to Ruth (1838-1920). They lived in the Scranton Mossie, Pittston) area and had three children Charles S.,(1866-1932) Maude and Harry. William may have been a Civil War solider who fought at Gettysburg and perhaps was court marshalled?? The Snyder family either managed or owned coal mines or coal companies. The family later moved to the Syracuse, NY area about 1910. The son Charles S. believed to have worked with Churchill Coal in Syracuse. Charles S. married Jenny Tregellas (1871-1940) and they had three children, Edith (1891-1976), George T. (1893-1952) and William D. (1895-1966). William D. married Marjory (sp) Dye.

Many thanks for all you've done Anne, to bring us the "newsy notes" from the past. I was particularly interested in this date because it mentions Dr. Jones Memorial Church, once Providence Welsh Congregational, but at some point after 1904 named in honor of R. S. Jones. Gayle

To Susan Pieroth and interested listers, I've posted all that I have--hope to order films of what I have not yet reviewed, and when I do, I will have some more to send along to you, but that will not be for awhile.

If you tried to open it, you got infected. The file corrupted part is part of the worm, it then explodes the worm when you reboot and sends out from all folks in your inbox and other mail folders with unread messages. This worm works with the headers, pathways, and names, of those on the list who have sent mail to the list recently but the infected party has not gotten around to reading yet. you need to check out Norton's site at: www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html in order to learn how to remove it from your system.

I notice that you are researching the Snyder name. My husband's family also came from that area and I have been searching for years to find another Snyder. His ggrandmother was Amelia Snyder, born 1866, who married Frederick Petzinger from that area. Is there a chance this could be part of your Snyder family. It was a large family, but I cannot find parents for her. After she was married, she moved to NJ. Patricia

I would like to end the discussion on this subject by giving you as much information as possible. First, fcmb@aug.com was removed from the mailing list yesterday and is still not on the list. He has been informed, but I know he is still infected because I just got an automatic response to a message I sent yesterday. That means he had not logged on in between. I doubt it is deliberate. I had changed the settings of the list so that replies would go back to the list, but the virus is too cleaver. I suspect that if a reply is also going to the mailing list it is being automatically deleted from the server by RootsWeb because I would normally get any messages that bounce because they have attachments. Norton has an excellent information page that shows what you get, what happens, and how to remove it from your system. Fortunately it does not do any permanent damage. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/pf/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html If anyone else is infected I will be getting a virus message from them in response to this and I'll take care of it. After that, please let me know OFF THE LIST if you get one. I sure will be glad when this thing is finally gone.
