Dear List Members - PLEASE DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS on the personal e-mail you are receiving without being 100% plus sure who it is from and that it is not a virus and the only way you can be this sure is run a Virus Scan. The new one now is "Homepage" If you open the Homepage attachment, it sends a copy of itself to everyone in your address book. Homepage then randomly chooses an adult Web page to display on the system's default Internet browser." To learn more aobut this one go to http://www.zdnet.com/zdhelp/stories/main/0,5594,2708116,00.html Homepage is just one of many. If you would like to know more about all of this you can join the Virus Discussion Mailing list by sending the word Subscribe to VIRUS-DISCUSSION-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM We are going to be OK. These viruses cannot be sent through Rootweb so it is up to each of us to protect our fellow members. When I get a message from one of you and see that you have the virus, your e-mail address is unsubscribed from the mailing list until you get your computer system clean and then you are welcomed back with open arms. Just remember - do not open ANY attachements unless you are sure it is not a virus. If you are not sure - delete it. Those of us who are deeply nvolved in our genealogical research are so fearful that we are going to delete that one clue, which we have been waiting for, that many of us are opening these attachements - taking the chance - and because of this we are being hit hard by the virus. I appreciate your help with this. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Dear List Members: If you are unsubscribed from the list, and it is not what you wanted, just re-subscribe yourself. If for some reason your address bounced several times, at no fault of your own, the system removes your address from the list. So if you see it happening to you all you have to do is re-subscribe yourself or send me a message and I will take care of it for you. Please be careful and DO NOT OPEN ANY MAIL WITH AN ATTACHMENT unless you are 100% sure you know what it is and even then run a virus scan. You cannot get a virus through the Rootsweb mailing list, but you can receive it from members of the list who's computer system has a virus. As soon as I know one of our members has a virus I unsubscribe them until they can clean their system. Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns as to his list or suggestions for the benefit of all the members. Contact me personally please KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net For your enjoyment, this link was sent to me to share with you. It is another fun map - and shows when areas of the country were included in a US Census. http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03.htm Thank you for your support. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Thought some of our new members would like to see this and some of us old members might like to see it again. :) To see the growth in the United States between 1650 and 1983?

I am looking for information on the family, parents/siblings of Catherine Clark Vanderventer (also spelled Vandeventer) wife of Lewis Vandeventer who died in Fayette, LaFayette County, Wisconsin in1862. Any help appreciated. Donna Wolf

I am interested in the WHITE family that lived in Fayette, Lafayette County, Wisconsin from the late 1840s to the early 1850s. I am sure they were there from 1850 to 1854 (at least). They are listed in the 1850 Wisconsin Federal Census as follows: James (C) White - 43 M Farmer Penn Margaret 41 F Penn Sarah W 17 F Penn Henry B 16 M Farmer Penn Margaret S 14 F Penn David 12 M Penn George 6 M Penn James C 4 M Penn Jane 2 F Penn They were farmers. If anyone has any information on this family, please let me know! Thanks in advance, Ken

Dear List Members, I am getting a lot of personal messages asking me to help you unsubscribe as you leave on vacations, etc. I will always be glad to help you unsubscribe if you have a problem or even if you have forgotten how, but just as a reminder if you go to Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ and type in your e-mail address and ask for a list of all Rootsweb lists you belong to, you will, within a few moments receive it via e-mail.

HI: It occurred to me today that many of you may not know that the Lafayette County Historical Society has a file of pictures taken by photographers in Darlington. These pictures have been taken over many years starting about 1900. These are the file pictures that the photographer has retained. The pictures are available for a small donation. Persons visiting the museum may search the boxes for relatives pictures.The museum is open 7 days a week from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.The address is 525 Main Street. The latest project for historical society is Time Capsule. We have asked the school children of the county to provide material about Lafayette Co today and what it may be like in 2051. The chest will be placed in the museum and locked. The key will be placed in the courthouse or safety deposit box. All donated items will be on display starting May 1 st and the Time Capsule will be locked about the first of July. Another project that we are planning is a rummage sale. The Darlington is having a city wide garage sale and we are going to see if we can help pay for this years heating bill. If you live in the area and would like to donate, contact me. Sale date is April 28 and donations can be brought to 1032 Keep St. in Darlington no earlier than April 27.

Looking for information about these families in Lafayette Co. They left Madison Co., Illinois about 1837 and went to Iowa Co, WI - later Lafayette. William Parkinson (brother of Daniel M. Parkinson) had a daughter, Rachel, who married Isaac Ferguson in Madison Co, IL in 1832. Their daughter, Mary Jane, married Thomas Berry Rule in Lafayette Co.. WI. They moved to Scotland Co., MO after the Civil War. My main concern is information about Isaac Ferguson. He m. 2nd - Martha Carroll and 3rd, Elizabeth ??? Indexes indicate he was still alive in the 1855 state census (have that on order) but what about the rest of his family? And what happened to Isaac? - When? He was born in Illinois about 1813. HELP!!

Carol, I checked at ancestry.com - there was no marriage record in Wisc. listed for Hassell and Betsey. They do have most of the marriages listed (index only). I can check the actual records next week if you'd like. I charge $5.00 per item photocopied ($1.00 for each additional page of a item). A marriage cert. would be $5.00.

I need assistance in finding the marriage date and place for Hassell Thompson and Betsey Ann Conley. I assume it would have been around 1870 or shortly before that and perhaps in Wayne or Gratiot Townships. Thank you. Carol S.

Dear List Members, here it is, time for the First Quarterly Report for 2001. Can you believe how fast the time has passed? Please take note of my new e-mail address, kathleenburnett@earthlink.net and change your address books, the old efortress.com account will be closed by the end of the month. The WILAFAYE Mailing List has 111 members, 83 on the Regular list and there are 28 members on the Digest List. If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/. Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller's Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search. Just a reminder so this list is better for each of us the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at kathleenburnett@earthlink.net There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as the first message from a members says Says "Happy Birthday John" and then John says "Thank you" and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday John". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. If you have a doubt ask me. kathleenburnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and yourwillingness to help make this list the success it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

I find this very disturbing about the stones being used for "sidewalks" and "foundations"..... There are several ancestors of my husbands I have not been able to trace, and hearaing this makes me sad and feel very frustrated as I have been researching his line for 20 years.... :-(

We heard from a lady that she has stones from the Picket Cemetery in the foundation of her home. She reported it to the Lafayette Co. Historical Society. My wife was working that day.
