Even if you can't use the names I've excerpted, you might find this sources to be good references. Sorry, I read books in libraries, so I can't do lookups. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~freshnup/markmurph/ Murphys in "Passengers to America", ed. by Michael Tepper Murphys in "New World Immigrants, Vol. I", ed. by Michael Tepper Murphys in "Cemetery Records of Marshall County Tennessee" by T.R. & Helen C. Marsh and R.D. Whitesell P.S. Do any of you Murphy researchers have much on this Richard Murfey, Merchant of London in late 1600s? This guy looks promising to my personal lines. -- Mark A. Murphy

Someone in one or more of these groups has all the following problems: 1. You use Microsoft Internet Explorer 2. You use Microsoft Outlook for your email program 3. Your computer is infected with a nasty worm/virus called W32.Klez.gen@mm. W32.Klez.gen@mm is a mass-mailing worm that will send itself to all email addresses in your Microsoft Outlook Address Book, and you don't know about it. This person or persons need to go to www.symantec.com and get their computer cleaned. I am being bombarded by emails from address in your Outlook address book, all with enticing genealogical subject lines or messages, but the body contains the worm trying to attack. If you meet the first two conditions above, you should check for the third. Anyone else seeing this problem? I assure you this is not a hoax.
