Would someone do a marriage lookup for Ben Stone and Lizzie abt. 1900 Wise County? They are on the 1920 Lee county census but there is no marriage record for them there. Any info on this Stone family would be appreciated! Debbie debb@chartertn.net

Hi List, Looking for leads on the below BLAKENBEKLER family who lived in (now) Wise County, VA in 1894-1895, and later in Scott County, VA in 1900. Several descendants later settled in the Kingsport area of Sullivan County, TN, where a granddaughter of John Melvin Blakenbekler married my first cousin. Patton Blakenbekler, brother of John Melvin Blakenbekler, is said to have privately published a book (pamphlet ??) on this Blakenbekler family. Looking for both ancestral and descendancy information. Appreciate any leads, clues, etc., etc. Thanks, John Hale Falls Church, VA Descendants of Unknown Blakenbekler 1 Unknown Blakenbekler ......... 2 John Melvin Blakenbekler b: May 1875 in Virginia ............. +Eliza Jane Harris b: November 1878 in Virginia .................... 3 Lillie/Lily Blakenbekler b: Bet.

Trying to determine the identity of Rutha, the wife of James Clayton Hunsucker. Rutha would have been born about 1861. James and Rutha Hunsucker had one child, Benjamin F. Hunsucker, who was born about 1879. James Clayton Hunsucker died January 2, 1891; as the result of a feud. Can anyone tell me who the parents of Rutha are? And did Rutha remarry? Thanks! anita

Phyllis, you've just passed the BADTRANS Virus twice, if you need help please let me know. It appears that it came from the list , but in fact is being passed by you. John

This virus is not being targeted deliberately at the Wise County list. The BadTrans virus is all over the place right now. I have read at least 500 messages about this virus in the past 10 days. A good AV program, caution when opening attachments, and if you are on cable modem, a personal firewall should take care of you. I've lost track of the number of viruses that have been received by my computer, but have not been infected by any. Like anything else in today's world, be careful, use precautions, but don't let paranoia ruin your enjoyment.

The virus called BadTrans replies to all the unopened email on the infected computer. If the attachments had the extension .pif or if the last line of the email itself says "Look to the attachment" DO NOT OPEN IT. Rootsweb has a very good virus discussion list: virus-discussion-l-request@rootsweb.com. You subscribe the same way as any other roots web list.

Billy I'm almost afraid to come back to the net after all these virus messages. I have McAfee and have not detected anything----yet. Anyway, I am looking for my whole Willis line but my direct blood (DNA) line is: Grandfather Owen Hezekiah Willis b.1875 d.1929 m Darthula Tate b.1876 d.1950 G Grandfather Corporal John B Willis b.1839 d.? m Eveline / Elizabeth / Lina Smith b. abt 1844 d ? G G Grandfather Isaac Willis b.1804 d.1888 m Elizabeth Gilley b.1810 d.1884 G G G Grandfather Abner (Absolom)Willis b.abt 1775 d. ? m Eve Sifert b.abt 1780 d.abt 1873 As far as I can tell, all died in Lee/Wise Co. I attended the funeral for Darthula in 1950, but was only 11 at the time and can't remember where the cementery was. THANK YOU BILLY AND ALL OF YOU ON THE LIST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ON MY SEARCH.

This was also going on with the BR-Roots a couple weeks ago also.

I got the kak.worm from a message posted on the Washington Co., TN list. It wasn't in an attachment. It was in the email and and when I opened the email, it got me. My Norton antivirus caught it but it couldn't get rid of it. Fortunately I was using Netscape and by using Norton's, instructions, I was able to get rid of it. If I had been using Outlook, it would have been more complicated. I have been very careful about opening attachments, and delete them if I don't know what they are, but now I am concerned about opening any email.
