In the 1850 census of Marion Co TN next door to Hamilton Co TN there was a family that is transcribed as McColey. If you have McCallie info please contact me as I'd like to rule in or out that they might have been a McCallie. Ron McCandless

I am looking for information regarding Morris Louis Pearlman and his family who lived in Chattanooga, TN in the early part of the 20th century. On the 1920 U.S. Census, the family is living at 303 West Eleventh St. At that time, Morris was 50 years old. He immigrated from Poland to the U.S. in 1896 and was nationalized in 1901. His wife, Gussie, was 48 in 1920, and it appears that they came over to the U.S. together. Their children are: Abe, age 20 (a WW I veteran); Bennie, age 18; Lena, age 17; Harry, age 14; Aaron, age 10; Sara, age 7; Myron, age 6; Hyman, age 4. All of the children were born in Tennessee. Also, living with the family is their son-in-law, Wolf Badikoff, age 25, and his wife (their oldest daughter) Sadie, age 23. The Badikoff's owned a grocery, and I believe that Morris might have worked in that store. Also, the two oldest sons were employed by a newspaper. I would really like to know more information about how the family came to live in Chattanooga. (I have been unable to find Morris and Gussie on the Ellis Island website.) I am interested to know if they were affiliated with any of the Jewish congregations in Chattanooga. Also, I would like to know what happened to the family members after 1930. My mother-in-law last saw Myron around 1936 when he was often using the name "Danny Dundee." Any and all information would be appreciated regarding both the Pearlman family and the Jewish community in Chattanooga at that time. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I can speak only for myself when I say that the folks who create virii are to me just as dangerous as those folks halfway around the world as they terrorize humanity. While computer virii do not kill or maim individuals they do cause untold trouble, wasted time and money that could be used elsewhere. That said, the quote below is from the April 24, 2002 Rootsweb Review - No, RootsWeb.com is not sending you a virus or worm in an attachment -- no matter what these "forged" addresses with RootsWeb name in it say. Be sure your anti-virus software is up-to-date and that you use it. Never open any e-mail attachments unless you have confirmed with the sender that she or he did indeed send it to you for a reason. Do not assume that the attachment came from where it says -- these sophisticated worms are able to forge addresses and they are fooling lots of people. Some even claim to be "worm removal tools." Don't believe them. The Klez worm has been able to spread because of a security vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer (browser) and because many people do not update their browser and download these patches. Don't risk the loss of your personal and genealogical data: Update your browser now: [2-line URL]: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/q290108/default.asp/ Most antivirus vendors, such as Symantec, McAfee and Sophos, offer Klez patches. Is your computer virus free? Find out at: http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/ ---------------- Additionally the following sites offer FREE virus checkers and/or software: http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.htm or http://www.commandondemand.com/eval/index.cfm or http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/activescan.asp?language=2&Country=63 &Partner=1&Ref=EN-PR-AS-107 -------- I rarely send attachments - and do not do so without prior notes to the persons I do send attachments to. If you can pre-screen your email before downloading it, do so. Just because an email appears to be from a friend - if it shows an attachment check it out beforehand for most likely it is not from your friend but has had their address forged. The bad thing about the Klez virus is that it forges who it comes from in ALL cases so that where it actually came from is anyone's guess as the sender's email program, infected grabs an address at random from the sender's address book slaps it on the outgoing mail and sends it to whomever the sender has contact with either from their address book and/or apparently anywhere in their email. This current virus is the most devious one I've seen for lots of innocent folks are getting infected as they open mail and/or attachments they thought was from someone they know. There is even one particular sneaky mail this worm sends out that say that it is Klez removal tools, tells folks to ignore any messages that say hold on, don't run this - so that when they do ignore the safeguards in their system they too will become yet another victim of this virus. Having been zapped before by virii, and fighting it daily as part of my job, I can think of no greater common threat we face. Please be careful what you open and check your system often for virii.

Hi, My grandfather, John Francis Maguire, attended/graduated from the University of Tennessee (at Chattanooga) back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. My aunt has a fraternity article dated 1902. I'm wondering if anyone has an index for the 1900 Tennessee Census showing my great grandfather, Michael William Maguire/Mcguire. He was working with the railroad. His wife was Catherine. Thanks for any help you can send my way! Best regards, Elizabeth Maguire-Culhane Fairport, New York

There is that old saying that sometimes it will look better in the morning. That is true in my case - as I came to work 1.5 hours early and was able to recover, I think, all my HTML data files and most of my email. The in, out and personal mailboxes are toast. Fortunately there too, I'd pushed out the stuff from about mid to early March elsewhere so perhaps only a month's worth of mail for those catergories is gone. Queries and attachments though are safe - and for that and 2 large files I was working on - I am extremely grateful. The remainder of the day will involve getting setup for a new hard drive and all that that entails - but a valuable lesson learned - back up your data early and often and in duplicity! ------------------------------------------------------via webmail---- Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net

I spoke with the county clerk on Sunday morning in which conversation he stated that his office handles marriage records - office is open from 8 - 430 M - F; that that function is pretty much self serve although when I was there a few years back a staff person had to get the microfilm for you. He said that Death certificates are mostly done by the funeral homes and sent on to Nashville Birth certificates are a function of the Vital Records department of the County Health department - located near Erlanger Hospital on 3rd street. Land Records are at the court house - and most offices have the same hours with some staying open until 5 PM. Some vital records prior to about 1950 are in Nashville versus locally. On a personal note - my data hard drive crashed tonight - taking with it scads of email - for which I am greatly distressed. I'll be away for a few days figuring out this mess. ------------------------------------------------------via webmail---- Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net

I'll be in Tn. later next week and will try to get to Hamilton Co. for some research. I'm wondering what time the courthouse is open, do they have special rules for genealogists (I've been to places where you need to register a day or so in advance, or only 1 genealogist allowed at a time, etc.), do they do the searches thru the deeds, court records, etc or do they allow the individual to do their own digging? Also, where are they located? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Donna

The first 750 records of Forest Hills are now considered complete. These are not perfect for some of the handwriting makes one wonder what the name or other information really should be - but at least it is a start. I'm hoping that within the next month or so that I can have the first 9000 records complete. http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnhamilt/frsthill.htm Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net Chattanooga, TN
