Hi Diana: Did you ever come across in the 1870 U.S. Census of Pennsylvania for my George and A. Beightol Straub? By this time they had their six children that I have listed as Lida Ellen, A. Etta, Ida M., Gordon, Ann, and J. Allen Straub, all born between 1859 to 1869 in Pennsylvania. I know at one time you would keep an eye out for this but I was wondering since it been awhile ago back.

Hi Sylvia, I didn't see your names there but then I didn't take time to really check it out and I checked my names and nothing. Isn't it a pain when you think just maybe this is it and poof, nothing. Good luck Nancy <A HREF="http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=vmeachum&id=I13595">Meachum Family</A>

Thank you! I'm off to check it, now! Take care and be well! Sylvia You know you're hooked on genealogy when: You hear someone paged at an airport and you wonder if they're from the Pennsylvania branch of that family name.

You mention a Meachum family! This is important to me because my great great great grandmother's diary refers to a "Prudence MEACUM" married to Amos HURSH (her parents, my g-g-g-g-grandparents) and I have not been able at all to find anything on this person. Why connect this with the Straub list? Because Amos HURSH was the son of Martin HURSH and "Susannah Hogan-Doebler" both of Lycoming and Northumberland counties PA. I was stumped on the "Hogan-Doebler" part until someone helped me make the connection. Susannah turned out to be Susannah HOUGENDOUBLER and her mother was a STRAUB! Now, if there is a connection between the STRAUB family and the MeACHAM (Meacum) family, perhaps I can at last find my missing Prudence Meacum! What is the URL of the Meacham family webpage? Let me know and if they have any HURSH connections.

Hi, I have been searching for and was told that My Straub family line doesn't have a family bible. Rev. Benjamin Straub/Stroup b. 1802 place;????? and Elizabeth Hoss/Haas Straub We think and he probably was born in PA and need proof of this and proof of who his parents are. There is a Benjamin Straub family bible but it relates to the other Benjamin who was born the same year or 1 year difference and died 1 year apart. If I remember right this one belongs to Shirley but could be mistaken about that. Anyway, about 8 months ago I was speaking with Marilyn who is connected to my Straub line my marriage and her family line is Plotts. She is very nice and helpful with anything. She told me that she wasn't sure if there is one but made a request to the person who would have it if it exists and they told her that they were not interested in family genealogy and basically told her where to go. In going through the civil war pension file for my GreatGreat Uncle Sheldon Palmer Straub (I been through this file at least 50 times and missed this before tonight), I ran across a statement from Sheldon to the commissioners of Pension and it reads; Hartford, Mich., Feb 18, 1914 Dear Sir: I am 70 years old today (my note; they didn't agree with his year of birth and they were haggling over the dollar amount of his pension), Born Feb 18th, 1844 ACCORDING TO OUR OLD FAMILY BIBLE WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS. I am now entittled to an increase in my pension from $17.00 to $23.00. Very Truly Sheldon P; Straub Private Co., L 1st Ohio Vol HA cert #769086 I know the bible is not in the hands of his wives (Mary Bolger Straub) family because she has been in the state mental hospital at Kalamazoo, MI from around the early 1900s till his or her death. Sheldon's son Sheldon Parker Straub married Lillian May Conklin in Hartford, Van Buren Co., Mi so I believe it is with this side of the family. The family line including my Sheldon can be found at the Meachum Family web page. I have contacted Virginia Meachum 4 times over the past year, even before I new of the family bible and have not received any response. I need any help form any of you if you know Virginia Meachum or anyone in that family tree that may be willing to pled my case for the info in the bible. I don't want the bible just the info. Thanks for any thing that can be done to help Nancy Straub Holben

I apologize. Shirley

I would like to remind members that the subject of this mailing list is STRAUB genealogy. Virus alerts are off topic for this list. Please DO NOT post alerts to this list. Most of them turn out to be hoaxes, but even ones that are genuine are not appropriate for posting here. There are many ways to keep yourself apprised of virus threats -- and virus hoaxes. This mailing list is not one of them. The same admonition holds true for any other type of announcement that is unrelated to STRAUB genealogy. Your cooperation will be appreciated. Diana Gale Matthiesen STRAUB-L List Administrator

It is a Hoax. We just addressed this on my Blacksheep L list. They want you to delete operating system files so your Computer will go down. Nancy

THIS IS A HOAX! The SULFNBOK.EXE file is part of windows! That is why your antivirus system didn't catch it, it's harmless! Relax! And if you DID delete it, go to your Recycle bin and Restore it! It's part of the works of your computer and should be left where it is!

Before you all delete this file you may want to do a little reading concerning the hoax: Symantec Security Response[NL]http://securityresponse.symantec.com SULFNBK.EXE Warning Reported on: April 17, 2001 Last Updated on: December 26, 2001 at 10:45:22 AM PST Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern. Type: Hoax Description: The following hoax email was first reported in Brazil, and the original email was in Portuguese. Other language versions are in circulation. Currently, the English language versions are most common. CAUTIONS: * This particular email message is a hoax. The file that is mentioned in the hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me utility that is used to restore long file names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected by a virus that targets .exe files. NOTE: The Sulfnbk.exe file is not required to run Windows. It may be necessary if you need to restore long file names if the file names become corrupted. For additional information, read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Description of Sulfnbk.exe and How to Replace the Program File (Q301316) * The virus/worm W32.Magistr.24876@mm can arrive as an attachment named Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located by default in the C:\Windows\Command folder. NOTE: The C:\Windows\Command folder is the usual default location for this file. It is possible that if you have a custom installation, or a special configuration that was installed by the computer manufacturer, the file could be in a different location. If the file is located in any other folder (except as noted), or arrives as an attachment to a email message, then it is possible that the file is infected. In this case, if a scan with the latest virus definitions and with NAV set to scan all files does not detect the file as being infected, quarantine and submit the file to SARC for analysis by following the instructions in the document How to submit a file to SARC using Scan and Deliver. * If you have deleted the Sulfnbk.exe file from the C:\Windows\Command folder and want to know how to restore the file, see the How to restore the Sulfnbk.exe file section at the end of this document. English versions NOTE: Several versions are shown, with the most recent ones shown first. Many more have been reported. All have the same basic theme. Version 1 Hello! I just got this letter from my friend and yes I had the virus as well please follow the directions to see if you have the virus and then follow the directions to get rid of it. Like my friend I am sorry that I passed it along as well. Dear All: We received a virus on a message. I followed the instructions below and found that it had been spread to our computer. I followed the instructions and located the virus and was able to delete it. The bad news is that you probably have it, as you are in My Address book! More bad news is that my anti virus program did not detect this virus. The virus lies dormant for 14 days and then "kills" your hard drive. Here is what to do. If you follow the instructions and then see that you have the virus, you need to send a similar e-mail to everyone in your address book. Remove the virus by following these steps: 1. Go to "Start." Then to "Find" or "Search". 2. In the "Search for files or folders" type sulfnbk.exe -- this is the name of the virus. 3. In the "Look in" section, make sure you are searching Drive C. 4. Hit "Search" or "Find". 5. If your search finds this file, it will be an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe. DO NOT OPEN IT! If it does not show up on your first "Search", try a "New Search." 6. Right click on the file -- go down to "Delete" and left click. 7. You will be asked if you want to send the file to the Recycling Bin -- say "Yes". 8. Go to your Desktop (where all your icons are) and right click on the Recycle Bin and either manually delete the sulfnbk.exe program or empty the entire bin. 9. If you found the virus on your system, send this or a similar e-mail to all in your address book because this is how it is transferred. Sorry for the trouble and my apologies for having unwittingly "infected" you. You'll want to check for this virus again for the next couple days until everyone in your address book has seen it and deleted it, otherwise, being in their address book, your PC will get infected all over again so don't forget to check! Version 2 This is very real, and I may have passed it on to you. Check it out as below right now. Your drive may crash!! "I had a virus which apparently attaches itself to everyone in my address book. I deleted it successfully. you may have it as well. Follow these instructions to see if you have it. It transfers to whomever is in your address book. It lies dormant for 14 days, then kills your hard drive. If you've got it send these instructions to everyone in you address book. Otherwise, it may be sent back to you by somebody else. 1. go to start-then to "find or search" 2. in the "search for files or folders" type in sulfnbk.exe - this is the name of the virus. 3. in the "look in" make sure you're searching drive C 4. hit "search" button ))or find_ 5. if this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe) DON'T OPEN IT 6. right click on the file - go down to delete and left click 7. It will ask if you want to send it to the recycle bin - yes 8. go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double-click on the recycle bin 9. right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again or just empty the recycle bin IF YOU FIND THIS.....SEND IT TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT IS TRANSFERRED. Version 3 Do you believe that a friend of mine sent me an alert and the procedure that we have to follow for the possible infection of SULFNBK.EXE. And I had checked, just to make sure. An then... the file was there, hidden even of McAfee and Norton, maybe waiting something to start work. Well, see bellow the procedure that I followed step by step, and I found the file: 1. Start/Find Folders. Type the file name: SULFNBK.EXE 2. If it find, open Windows Explorer, browse into the folder where the file is and delete it. Do not click with left button on the file and do not open it. 3. Just delete it 4. Mine was on Windows/Command 5. The virus from the person who gave the alert was on Windows/Config Yes, Norton and McAfee do not detect it. We do not know if it makes some damage on the machine, but I think that anybody will not want to test it to know, will it? Folks, this is not fun, I deleted it from my computer. And my definitions are updated. Do the same, ok? Version 4 This one has additional text stating that the virus will activate on June 1st. It was brought to my attention yesterday that a virus is in circulation via email. I looked for it and to my surprise I found it on mine. .. Please follow the directions and remove it from yours TODAY!!!!!!! No Virus software can detect it. It will become active on June 1, 2001. It might be too late by then. It wipes out all files and folders on the hard drive. This virus travels thru E-mail and migrates to the 'C:\windows\command' folder. The bad part is: You need to contact everyone you have sent ANY E-mail to in the past few months. Many major companies have found this virus on their computers. Please help your friends !!!!!!!! DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. McAFEE and NORTON CANNOT DETECT IT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BECOME A VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE!!! French Bonjour à tous, Hello everyone! Ceci est une alerte au VIRUS assez sérieuse. This is a serious VIRUS alert. Comme je vous ai envoyé des courriels dans les 3 derniers mois, je vous invite à vérifier s'il n'y aurait pas un dossier intitulé SULFNBK.EXE quelques part dans votre ordinateur. Since I have emailed you in the last couple of month I invite you to read the following text carefully. Please note that, against all odds, I had it exactly where it was mentionned it would be... Prenez note que ce VIRUS ( SULFNBK.EXE )est indétectable et qu'il doit être activé le 1er JUIN donc, vérifier immédiatement, Ne l'ouvrez PAS et jetter le directement à la poubelle; VIDER LA POUBELLE PAR LA SUITE. Original Portuguese version Vocês acreditam que uma amiga da lista enviou um alerta e os procedimentos que deveriam ser tomados para a possível detecção do maledeto SULFNBK.EXE. e eu fui conferir só por desencargo de consciência. Pois é...O bichinho tava lá, escondidinho até da McAfee e do Norton, talvez esperando algum gatilho prá começar a trabalhar, né? Aí vão, moçada, as orientações que eu segui à risca e que me levaram ao tal coisinha ruím: 1 - Iniciar/Localizar Pastas. Digite o nome do "mardito": SULFNBK.EXE 2 - Se for encontrado, abra o Windows Explorer, vá até a pasta onde ele se encontra alojado e delete-o de lá ou do próprio ambiente do Localizar; - Não click com o botão esquerdo sobre ele e não abra o arquivo nem em caso de incêndio, ok? 3 - Apenas delete o bichinho. 4 - O meu estava em Windows/Command. 5 - O vírus da pessoa que passou o aviso estava em Windows/Config. Sim, o Norton e nem o McAfee não detectou. Não sabemos se ele faz algum estrago na máquina, mas acho que ninguém aqui vai querer testar para saber, né? Gente, sem brincadeiras, já tirei o meu daqui.... E nem imaginava que tivesse hóspedes no PC. Minha vacina está super-atualizada!!! Façam o mesmo, ok? Danish version Virusen er programmeret til at aktivere sig på et senere tidspunkt, derfor vil den ikke blive opdaget af et standard virusbeskyttende program, såsom Mcafee eller Norton. Ingen ved, hvor længe den har været i omløb - muligvis i flere måneder. Når den aktiverer sig vil den slette alle filer og dokumenter på jeres harddisk. Den spreder sig via e-mail og placerer sig i C.WINDOWS/COMMAND. For at finde den og slette den skal I gøre følgende: 1. Klik på start 2. Vælg Søg efter 3. Vælg filer eller mapper 4. Gå til Søg alle filer og vælg lokale hardiske - i de fleste tilfælde er det C:. 5. I feltet Navn skrives SULFNBK.EXE 6. Hvis filen findes, marker den, men ÅBN DEN IKKE !!!!!!!!! 7. Højreklik på filen og vælg SLET 8. Luk dialogboksen Søg alle filer 9. Tøm papirkurven Så er I smittefri og computeren reddet. Den dårlige nyhed er, at man muligvis har smittet alle, som man har sendt mail til i mange måneder. Derfor bør man kontakte alle personer i ens adressekartotek og straks sende dem denne meddelelse. Og det har jeg også gjort PS.: Og jeg havde altså også denne luskede virus Dutch "het is mogelijk dat je computer besmet is met een virus dat erop geprogrammeerd is om actief te worden gemaakt. door de "activeer vertraging" die er in gebouwd zit , wordt het niet ontdekt door o.a. mcafee en norton . niemand weet hoe lang het virus al circuleert. mogelijk al enkele maanden. als het virus geactiveerd wordt, verwijdert het alle bestanden en mappen van de harde schijf. het virus verbreidt zich via e-mail en infiltreert het dossier "c:/windows/command". er zal dus "grote schoonmaak" moeten worden uitgevoerd indien je het virus detecteerd op je computer en op de computers van diegenen waarmee je de laatste tijd per e-mail in contact hebt gestaan, anders blijft het een eeuwig durende cirkel. om het te vinden en te verwijderen: - klik op start - vervolgens op zoeken - kies bestanden of mappen - ga naar zoeken en kies lokale vaste schijven of "c" - typ op de regel "naam" : SULFNBK.EXE - als het bestand wordt gevonden selecteer het, doch open het niet - klik op bewerken - vervolgens op alles selecteren - klik op bestand - vervolgens op verwijderen. - sluit het venster en leeg de prullebak. na deze operatie zit je in principe goed. maar je hebt waarschijnlijk zelf mensen besmet aan wie je e-mails hebt verzonden. mocht je dus het virus hebben waarschuw ze dan , zodat ook zij hun schijven kunnen opschonen." ] How to restore the Sulfnbk.exe file If you have deleted this file, restoration is optional. Sulfnbk.exe is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names. It is not needed for normal system operation. If you want to restore it, there is more than one way to do this. See the information that follows. NOTES: * The C:\Windows\Command folder is the usual default location for this file. It is possible that if you have a custom installation, or a special configuration that was installed by the computer manufacturer, the file could be in a different location. * The Sulfnbk.exe file is not required to run Windows. It may be necessary if you need to restore long file names if the file names become corrupted. For additional information, read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Description of Sulfnbk.exe and How to Replace the Program File (Q301316) * The instructions in this document are provided for your convenience. The extraction of Windows files uses Microsoft programs and commands. Symantec does not provide warranty support for or assistance with Microsoft products. If you have any questions, please see your Windows documentation or contact Microsoft. Windows Me If you are using Windows Me, you can restore the file using the System Configuration Utility. 1. Click Start and then click Run. 2. Type msconfig and then press Enter. 3. Click Extract Files. The "Extract one file from installation disk" dialog box appears. 4. In the "Specify the system file you would like to restore" box, type the following, and then click Start: c:\windows\command\sulfnbk.exe NOTE: If you installed Windows to a different location, make the appropriate substitution. The Extract File dialog box appears. 5. Next to the "Restore from" box, click Browse, and browse to the location of the Windows installation files. If they were copied to the hard drive, this is, by default, C:\Windows\Options\Install. You can also insert the Windows installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and browse to that location. 6. Click OK and follow the prompts. Windows 98 If you are using Windows 98, you can restore the file using the System File Checker. 1. Click Start and then click Run. 2. Type sfc and then press Enter. 3. Click "Extract one file from installation disk." 4. In the "Specify the system file you would like to restore" box, type the following, and then click Start: c:\windows\command\sulfnbk.exe NOTE: If you installed Windows to a different location, make the appropriate substitution. The Extract File dialog box appears. 5. Next to the "Restore from" box click Browse, and browse to the location of the Windows installation files. If they were copied to the hard drive, this is, by default, C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. You can also insert the Windows installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and browse to that location. 6. Click OK and follow the prompts. Windows 95 (or alternative method for Windows 98/Me) If you are using Windows 95, you need to use the extract command. This can also be used on Windows 98/Me. 1. Click Start, point to Find or Search, and then click Files or Folders. 2. Make sure that "Look in" is set to (C:) and that Include subfolders is checked. 3. In the "Named" or "Search for..." box, type: precopy1 4. Click Find Now or Search Now. If it does not exist on the hard drive, then insert the Windows installation CD and repeat the search on that drive. 5. When you find the file, write down the location of Precopy1, for example, C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. This is your Source Path. 6. The general form of the Extract command is: extract /a <Source Path>\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L c:\windows\command NOTE: Make sure that you include the /a switch, as shown. Depending on your version of Windows, the Sulfnbk,exe file can be in a .cab file other than Precopy1.cab. By using the /a switch, the Extract program will look first in the Precopy1.cab, and if the file is not found there, it will look in all subsequent .cab files until it is found, and can be extracted. So if the source path is C:\Windows\Options\Cabs, then the Extract command becomes: extract /a c:\windows\options\cabs\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L c:\windows\command NOTE: If you installed Windows to a different location, make the appropriate substitution. 7. Click Start and then click Run. 8. Type the following, making the appropriate substitutions as previously noted extract /a <Source Path>\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L c:\windows\command 9. Click OK.

Two comments here: 1) Virus alerts are off-topic for this (and all) genealogy mailing lists, so please do not post them. 2) RootsWeb mailing list software bounces all email with attachments, so for this and other reasons, there is ZERO possibility for email viruses, including the 32-BadTransB virus, to be transmitted by or through its mailing lists, which means there are no viruses "going around" e-mail lists. People may get the impression that a virus is spreading via a mailing list because most list members keep the addresses of at least some other list members in their address book, and the virus is harvesting those addresses. In the case of BadTransB, the virus is harvesting email addresses from the victim's stored email, not from their address book, but the effect is the same. Bottom line: there is no risk in using STRAUB-L or any other mailing list on RootsWeb. They cannot transmit email viruses.

To further substantiate Shirley Morton's October email below, claiming verbal family history shows Daniel Straub moving from PA to LeSeuer Co.MN-- My Emmaline/Emeline Straub (b 16 Nov 1824 or 1829 Bloomsburg, Columbia Co., PA) m. John Peter Stecker and they also moved from PA to MN. Their son was John Jacob Stecker(m Rebecca Bailey) and his daughter Winona Stecker married my grandfather John Chapman in LeSeuer Co., MN. I also have a family letter documenting Emmaline/Emeline Straub Stecker's husband John Peter Stecker was murdered at Cannon Lake MN for money from the sale of his cattle (or land). Sorry I have been out of town several times and am just getting caught up on Straub stuff. Hope this help someone, Diana Chapman Owen Shirley Morton wrote: > According to a niece in MN, her Great Great Uncle Daniel Straub, youngest > son of Elizabeth Steeley Straub Bay, moved to a town near LeSueur, MN, in > 1857.

Hi all I ran across a biography of Amanda Straub in compendium of biography of History County Indiana, B.F. Bowen 1920 pages 350-351. The way this is written makes little sense to me but I typed it as written. I sure those of you searching for Indiana Straubs have already found this before I just did since I'm new at this, only doing research for about a year now, but thought it was worth passing on just in case. I'll list names, dates and places to see if anyone connects with this Straub family. Here goes; Amanda A. (Hoover) Straub is worthy of mention, possessing many attributes of noble womanhood and bearing well her part in life, is a well-known and popular lady. **I felt a statement like this is worth mentioning** Amanda A.

GreatGrandfather Hoover, German extraction, settled in Blair Co., PA where Samuel Hoover was born and raised. The Dilling family also settled in Blair Co. Family moved to Henry Co., Indiana in March of 1837. He (Samuel) purchased land in Liberty Twp. and preached for the United church of God. Samuel died 2/25/1875 and wife Elizabeth died in 1902 at 86 years of age. Amanda m. John P. Straub on 3-6-1859 who was born 6-23-1823 in Germany.
