The only nonconformist burial ground I am aware of in Sketty is BETHEL inCARNGLAS ROAD. Ring PHIL SAUNDERS at 01792204148.He is the caretaker. Regards, Tom

My ggrandparents, Charles Blewitt Jenkins and Frances Philipps Jenkins lived in Sketty and were active in the Sketty Wesleyan Chapel before 1900. Charles was alive there in 1901 and I understand that both of them are buried in the Sketty Cemetery or Sketty Methodist Cemetery (I have been told that the Sketty Wesleyan Chapel did not have a cemetery). I wonder if someone who may be looking for someone else there might see if they can find the markers a send me the dates. I understand the their son, also Charles Blewitt Jenkins, is buried there as well. Thanks. Bonnie Denham Clayton

I am looking for a marriage for Sidny Allen to Margaret CARROLL before 1920 in Swansea. This is my grandfather and grandmother Can you check the Marriage index for 1920 and before ? Thank you very much Shirley Brewer

I am happy to announce that the first truly Irish genealogy list since John Caughey's old Ireland mailing list has just been started by Jane Lyons. With her expertise and her living in Ireland, this list will be a valuable resource for anyone who has research based in Ireland. You won't be able to find a more Irish list anywhere else. You can join at this website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ireland_Genealogy -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, listowner http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Hi Trying to track down my Great Great great grandfather James Picton Davies. He married Justina Davids in Carmarthen in 1825 but on a baptism certificate for a son in 1864 his abode is listed as "Swansea".No address given. James occupation varies been Legal writer in 1825 and Solicitor in 1871. Is there any way of tracing him through his occupation or is there a Census index for Swansea in 1861? Best wishes Cathy North Devon dav_barber@tesco.net Researching Cox, Clark, Picton Davies, McGlashan and Gilroy

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Computer security experts on Monday warned of a new virus that deletes files while masquerading as a program that will allow people to vote on whether the United States should go to war over the Sept. 11 hijacker attacks. The ``Vote Virus'', which so far is not wide spread, circulates via e-mail to users of Microsoft Corp.'s (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) Outlook e-mail program, said Simon Perry, vice president of security solutions at Computer Associates International Inc. (NYSE:CA - news) The virus, punctuated by strange grammar and a mix of lower- and upper-case letters, appears with the subject line: ''Peace between America and Islam!'' and the body of the e-mail reads: ``Hi. Is it a war against America or Islam!? Let's vote to live in peace!'' Perry and other experts said. When the attachment entitled ``WTC.exe'' is opened, the virus tries to delete all the files on the computer's hard drive and sends copies of the e-mail to every address listed in the computer's address book, he said. The virus also defaces any Web pages that are hosted by an infected computer to read: ``America ... few days will show you what we can do!!! It's our turn ))) ZaCker is so sorry for you,'' according to Perry. For more go here: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010924/wr/tech_votevirus_dc_2.html Thank you Nancie Dobyns for the warning. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, listowner http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

I found this on another list: Just an alert of a new virus that's circulating around that has as a subject: ``Peace between America and Islam.'' It, naturally, has an attachments: WTC.exe DO NOT open the attachment!! DELETE the message if received! Never open attachments unless the sender already tells you what is in them. If some gets infected on the list, I will unsub them until they clean their computer so as not to spread the virus to other listers. But, again, it can ONLY spread when you open the attachment. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, listowner http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
