I got this on another list, and since this is a REAL virus warning, I'm passing it on. I got several of these "see ya later" messages over the weekend but didn't open any of them. Gail WATCH FOR SIRCAM SirCam is the nickname for a nasty little Internet worm that's arriving in lots of Inboxes. we'll take a moment to tell you what to look for. Sircam (full name W32.Sircam.Worm@mm) arrives either via email or it copied to shared network drives. The email contains a subject line including a file name from the sending computer. The subject and message body can be in English or Spanish. In English the message body will always start with "Hi! How are you?" and end with "See you later. Thanks." If you run the file attached to the email message the virus will spread via email in various ways and also copy itself to other computers on your network. In this latter way you can be infected even if you are good about checking / ignoring email attachments. The virus can also delete files on your computer, fill the hard drive to capacity and compromise your privacy (by sending a random file from your computer out to email recipients. You should update your anti-virus software then do a full scan of your hard drives and any network shared drives. If the virus is detected the AV software should remove it but you should also empty the Recycle bin and make sure your Autoexec.bat file hasn't been tampered with. For full details on Sircam and removing it check out ZDnet http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/hud0007500a/www.zdnet.com/zdhelp/stories/main/0 ,5594,2776123,00.html or Symantec http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html

If in your search on your husband's family you run across Edward Charles Bates (who married my grandmother Laura Irene Evans) please let me know. All we have on him is his death certificate which we sent off for. The cert. says he was born in Greenwich, Ct. and died in Montgomery, AL. It does not list his birthdate but states he was 64 years old. My uncle "Bobby" Evans Bates says he was born March 6 1866 and the certificate says he died Oct. 26, 1930 from cancer of the liver. He was much older than my grandmother, was a lawyer( we heard) but can not find anything on him on the internet. No has replied to my posts. Thanks, Jerrie

Jerrie, Thank you. This is the first I have gotten on the Evans family since I have been working on my husband's family. I appreciate your help. Tommie

I am researching the Wooliver family. Anna Elizabeth Wooliver was my ggreataunt. I have found the following listing in the Colorado County Cemetery books. Annie (nee Wooliver) married Tom Flournoy buried Cheetham no dates Dan Flournoy, son of Tom & Annie ( Wooliver) buried Cheetham no dates Edward Gibson Flournoy 4/22/1886-4/8/1945 son of John Thomas & Anna Eliza ( Wooliver) Flournoy buried Myrtle John Thomas 6/1/1863-10/14/1934 Son of Mordecai Gibson & Martha Jane ( Murchison) Flournoy buried Myrtle The problem is that on the 1900 & 1910 census Annie show that she is a widow. So is Tom & John Thomas different people?

The info that I have came from Familysearch.org. Elijah Asbury Evans and his families are listed. Is this what you are looking for? Jerrie

All children were born in Texas. Charles, Sophia and their 4 children appeared in the 1920 Milam Co, Tx census. If this looks like it fits your information, please email me at Kelly19_Belly81@hotmail.com or MaineBear01@aol.com. I am interested in finding out the names of Sophia's parents. Thanks Kelly Williams
