I am seeking information on Williams James McQuirk and his wife Honora Ann Gleason the lived in Clare and Cork C. 1830-1850. He was said to be a physician. On his death she came to New Orleans, La. USA with daughters Francis , Mary, Julia Ann And Margaret. Any leads on the Gleason and McQuirk families would be appreciated.

Looking for information to help me connect with my gggrandparents and their family. John SULLIVAN and Julia SULLIVAN (might have been maiden name as well as her married name), were both born circa 1820 in Ireland. Guessing they were married in the early 1840. They had at least 2 children my ggrandfather Patrick SULLIVAN b 1842-1848 and his brother Florence SULLIVAN  b 1845.  Believe John SULLIVAN died before 1863. Unfortunately do not know where in Ireland my SULLIVAN line originated.  I welcome any and all thoughts, comments, suggestions. Thank you for your help and assistance. Walton J.

I am not related-just researching those Irish in Iowa!! Emmetsburg Democrat; Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, IA; 11 Apr 1909 IS 111 YEARS OF AGE Emmetsburg Has One of the Oldest Men in the World Dennis Ricard, who has been an inmate of the County House for some time, is doubtless the oldest man in Iowa, if not in the United States. He was 111 on March 8. He is always ready for a good meal of victuals and says he never felt better in his life than he does at the present time. he worked regularly every day until last fall, though it was not at all necessary for him to do so. Of course he did not work all day long,but he seemed to enjoy being busy and accomplishing something. Mr. Martin who has charge of the County House, says Mr. Ricard is one of the most agreeable old gentlemen he has ever met and that he has never any trouble with him, except occasionally when he takes a notion to wander away from the place, and then he has to go after him. He is quite deaf, but his mind is fresh and he converses freely with those who care to talk to him. Saturday, April 3, W.W. Stone, our popular photographer, called on Mr. Ricard and asked him to be seated until he could get a snap shot of him. Dennis has always been opposed to having his picture appear in the newspapers, but he seemed to take a notion to Mr. Stone and he consented. However, he was not so particular as some of the Emmetsburg ladies, and he refused to dress of the occasion. He sat down on a chair, kept on his hat and told Mr. Stone to fire away. We are glad to have our readers see the picture. Mr. Ricard is a robuts, jolly , typical son of the Emerald Isle. He was born at Howth's Head, in the county of Dublin, Ireland, March 8, 1798. He often speaks of Malahide, Swords Rush, Balbriggan, Skerries, Punchstown, Dunshaughlin, Tara, Kingston, and numerous neighboring places familiar to the Dublin gentleman, as the Irishmen of that part of old sod are styled. Howth's Head is on the east coast of Ireland some distance north of the city of Dublin. Hence Mr. Ricard, in boyhood days, naturally took to the water. He became a sailor and spent 46 years of his long career on the ocean, visiting nearly every country on the globe. At one time he was ship-wrecked on the northern coast of Russia and had to remain there for three months. He finally became tired of life on the briny deep and came to the United States. He worked at various places. He was once employed in Illinois by Abraham Lincoln. He was a great wood sawer and Mr. Lincoln consented to give him a job. They got along very well until it came to pay day when they disputed about the number of cords that had been sawed. Mr. Ricard says that the rail splitter settled with him for all the work he did for him except the cutting of one cord, and that he never received anything for it. However, he always speaks well of the martyred president, though he never voted for him, for he was a democrat who would never split his ticket. He has not changed his political convictions. Mr. Ricard came to this county 27 years ago. He made his home with Patrick Nolan (in the Bush) for many years. He was a great worker and was steady, faithful, and upright. When Mr Nolan died he went to live with his son, M.J. Nolan. He seemed to enjoy sawing wood and when Mr Nolan tried to persuade him not to work he would take offense and threaten to leave. He never started a job without finishing it. He is quite a smoker, but he does not chew tobacco. he uses a little brandy occasionally, but very sparingly. He has, practically speaking, been a temperate man. He has never had the services of a physician. He says he does not know what they could do for him unless it would be to kill him. He is having a second growth of hair and he says his eyesight is improving. He shaves himself and handles the razor with skill and with ease. He was never married. He loves to walk and takes exercise regularly. His memory is good. He had eight brothers and sisters, all of whom are doubtless dead. The Democrat wishes Mr. Ricard continued health and strength and hopes to have the pleasure of publishing his picture ten years from today.

Hello all, This is the current status on my lists about this terrible virus going around the mailing lists.... Waterford seems to be ok (maybe because it's been very quiet) - I haven't gotten any messages back saying anyone on it is infected. Shamrock -seems- to be clear right now. Two more members of CountyCork have the virus , persons using the id names TATUNK@worldnet.att.net and margaretallison in Australia. I will be temporarily unsubbing them after this message until they are "clean". Then they can resub. The reason I unsub people who are infected is to stop the -spread- on my lists. Persons can resub once they are "clean". Some things to point out.... 1. PLEASE read the message I sent last night with the heading "Details on virus". This is NOT being sent through the lists, but individually. No one is out to "get" anyone or harvest email addresses from lists. This is going around rampantly on all lists on all servers. 2. DON"T EVER OPEN ATTACHMENTS which you do not expect! That is a major no-no! 3. Everyone with a hard drive (webtv doesn't have a hard drive) should have an antivirus program installed on their computer. Norton is one, Firewall is another. There are many sites to check out.. http://www.antivirus.com So hopefully this is the last message I have to send on this. If you are getting any of these messages (and if you are on other mailing lists you might as some lists I hear have many infected people on them), just delete the messages and wait it out. That's all you can do with this. Thank you for your cooperation.

This is being sent with permission of the original poster "Sgt George" who really knows his "stuff" about viruses. It's kind of technical, but read it all the way through for an explanation of what is going on. It's affecting yahoogroups lists as well as Rootsweb. Sgt George has given permission to share this information with others. If you do , please take my comments off. Thanks to Emma, Shamrock listmember , for sharing this. Maura, listowner Shamrock, CountyCork, Waterford, SlovakRoots ----- Original Message ----- From: "Big Sister - Yshire Listowner" <yshireuk@yahoo.co.uk> From: VIRUS-DISCUSSION-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [VIRUS] FROM VIRUS-DISCUSSION LISTOWNER - EVERYONE PLEASE READ OK, let's see if I can explain this so that everyone understands how these latest viruses, trojans, and worms work. Let's start with the very latest, W32/Badtrans@MM, also seen as W32/Badtrans@M. Here are other aliases that have been found: Backdoor-NK.svr , BadTrans (F-Secure), I-Worm.Badtrans (AVP), W32.Badtrans.13312@mm (NAV). There are several things about this one that need to be discussed, how it is spread, and the danger to the infected user's computer. 1) W32/Badtrans@MM is received as a REAL attachment (more about "real" vs. "inline" attachments later). It comes as an actual file attachment, which is downloaded to a user's computer into whatever directory is set up for such downloads. For Eudora, Pegasus, and other "stand alone" email programs, this will be something like "Downloads", "Attachments", etc. For MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express, I'm not sure where a separate attached file is placed. 2) A user's computer is NOT infected UNTIL he/she clicks on the attachment and "runs" it, that is, executes it so that it does whatever it's supposed to do. 3) Once a user clicks the attachment, it installs itself on to the user's computer. It then does two things: a) It propagates itself so that every time the system is rebooted, it mails itself to the sender of EVERY UNREAD EMAIL in the user's MS Outlook FOLDERS. Notice that I say "folders", not "folder". That means that if you filter incoming email into various created folders, this trojan/virus searches all of them, not just the IN BOX. HERE'S THE REALLY DIRTY PART: The virus looks through all those unread emails; it finds the originator of them (FROM:) and REPLIES to the person who sent the original email. BUT, it also attaches a copy of the infected file and mails it along with the "reply". Thus, if John Doe sends an email to a person, or to a Mailing List, when that email ends up on another user's email program, and that other user is infected and hasn't read John's email, John receives a reply containing a copy of the virus as a separate clickable file. HERE'S WHY USERS KEEP INSISTING THAT VIRUSES CAN BE SPREAD BY ROOTSWEB MAILING LISTS, AND WHY THEY THINK THE ATTACHMENT CAME THROUGH A MAILING LIST: Let me give an example - John Doe sends a post to the SMITH-L Mailing List. John Doe's system is NOT infected. Every one of the 2,000+ users of the SMITH-L Mailing List receives a copy of John's email. One of these users, let's call him Bill Smith, has the W32/Badtrans@MM virus on his system. Now, Bill has a copy of John's email in his Outlook program. He doesn't read it right away. He reboots his computer and, when Windows restarts, the virus looks through Bill's email in Outlook. It sends a reply to the sender of EVERY unread email, AND attaches a copy of itself as a separate attachment. It copies all the original headers, including those that show the email came through SMITH-L@rootsweb.com. Then John, the original sender of the email, receives a "reply" to his email, from Bill. John looks at the email and sees that it is a reply to his original post. He also sees SMITH-L@rootsweb.com in several of the headers. As far as he's concerned, he has received a normal reply back through the Mailing List. If John is a "newbie", one of two things happen: I) He sees an attached file, with a message something like, "Take a look to the attachment." He says to himself, "This Bill Smith is answering my original post, AND he has sent me an attachment which is probably a file having something to do with information on my query." He clicks the attachment; thus ANOTHER SMITH-L Mailing List user is infected. or II) He is savvy enough to know NOT to open the attachment, BUT from the looks of the "reply" it appears that it came back to him via the Mailing List.   He screams and curses, and says, "I knew it! I don't care what the Listowners and the folks at Rootsweb say, these virus attachments ARE coming through the Mailing List!" He then posts angry posts to all the Mailing Lists to which he subscribes, calling the Listowners and Rootsweb people liars. He thus starts another round of uninformed posts about how attachments CAN be passed through Mailing Lists, and about how viruses CAN also be passed through the Lists. In short, this virus/trojan tricks recipients of infected email into thinking the virus is being propagated via a Mailing List. NOT SO !!!!! b) The other thing this virus/trojan does is this: Once running, the trojan attempts to mail the victim's IP Address to the author. Once this information is obtained, the author can connect to the infected system via the Internet and steal personal information such as usernames, and passwords. In addition, the trojan also contains a keylogger program which is capable of capturing other vital information such as credit card and bank account numbers and passwords. 4) THIS IS WHY EVERY COMPUTER USER MUST HAVE A FIREWALL ON HIS/HER COMPUTER !!!!! It doesn't matter whether you are using a dialup modem, a cable modem, DSL, or whatever, you NEED a firewall. A firewall is nothing more than a small utility that prevents malicious people from entering your system through a "back door". Once such a person has your IP address, he/she can connect to your computer any time your modem is connected, which is 27/7 for everyone but those using a dialup modem. Of course, a dialup modem is accessible only when you are actually "online". 5) So, PLEASE, let's stop this latest round of blaming Rootsweb Mailing Lists for allowing attachments, and for propagating viruses, trojans, worms, etc. I know that in the future, as new users subscribe, many of them will come to the same erroneous conclusions and start the thread all over again. They should be politely, but firmly, advised of the true situation. 6) VERY IMPORTANT POINT: Some users insist that email from Mailing Lists always comes as attachments. Not so! SOME email programs, such as MS Outlook/ Outlook Express and AOL, convert ALL List email into attachments. This is one of the most serious problems with such programs, and causes users to think that they are receiving "real" attachments. "REAL" attachments are FILES that are outside the body of an email, and come along with the email as a "rider". Other so-called "attachments" are those that contain the actual text from the body of an email. This is especially true for those subscribers to the Digest Mode of Lists. MS Outlook and AOL extract the body text and put it into "attachments". To the poster who was worried about "viruses going around on the GEN-NEWBIE Mailing List": I hope you can see from the above that the viruses are being sent from infected users'computers, users who happen to be receiving email from the List. This point MUST be made: If any user receives an infected email, or an infected attached file, and it appears to have come through a Mailing List, IT DID NOT. Blame the problems, and resulting confusion, on a virus-writer who is a little smarter than the average gomer. To end, here's a list of the KNOWN file-names that the W32/Badtrans@MM virus/trojan uses: Card.pif docs.scr fun.pif hamster.ZIP.scr Humor.TXT.pif images.pif New_Napster_Site.DOC.scr news_doc.scr Me_nude.AVI.pif Pics.ZIP.scr README.TXT.pif s3msong.MP3.pif searchURL.scr SETUP.pif Sorry_about_yesterday.DOC.pif YOU_are_FAT!.TXT.pif So far, I have received virus attachments with the names "README.TXT.pif" and "Sorry_about-yesterday.DOC.pif".
