Hello List, I hope you all had a great holiday and have recuperated from your New Year's celebrations. Time to get back to our genealogy. Beth sent me a copy of this about a week ago. I thought if I sent the whole article to the list it could be considered to be spam, so I didn't forward it on. Today, it is an article in Ancestry Daily News and you can click on it or not. Remember, it is fiction but it is still thought provoking! I hope you are all still working on your genealogy. Remember, if you have new information to pass it on to the list or at least to Cheryl and I so we can add it to the growing storehouse of YELTON information. Happy Hunting to you all, Iris ========================================================= MORE NEWS AND ARTICLES FROM THE ANCESTRY DAILY NEWS ========================================================= "CLEANING MOTHER'S HOUSE," by Michael John Neill It has been nearly a year since fictional genealogist Barbara passed away. Her daughter Charlene reflects upon that year in a letter to her friend Karen. Charlene truly has been busy. Barbara is probably rolling over in her grave. http://www.ancestry.com/rd/prodredir.asp?sourceid=1644&key=A506901 =========================================================

Hi Everyone, We all have a new cousin!! She is Miss Amelia Grace Hedemark and she weighed in at a whopping 11 pounds. Mother and baby are doing fine but Daddy may be the one having a hard time coming back to earth. Amelia was born Tuesday, December 18, 2001. Her parents are Christian J. and Clare Hedemark. I'm sorry I can't send the pictures as she is a real sweetheart! I'm not sure if Chris is still on our list, but you can send congrats to he and Clare at: chris@yonderway.com, The new grandparents are on the list (Chris, Sr & Claudia Hedemark and his address is chris@parguild.org ) A lovely Christmas present wouldn't you say!!! Love to the whole family, Iris

Hi Everyone, There is another virus going around the computer world. I received an attachment this morning from j.p.waddell (Phyllis and Jim) somehow their machine became infected and sent out messages with the attachment symbol. It simply looked like a reply to my last message. The subject line says: Re: [YELTON] Greetings! Please - don't open any attachments or e-mail with one until you verify that the sender meant to send it to you. I have e-mailed Phyllis and Jim off list to alert them too. Check with Norton Anti-Virus (search engine) if you feel there might be a problem. Or, just to protect your machine. To read more about the files and variations of this worm and how it works check out this page: http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/viruses/badtrans/ Iris

Hi Everyone, Just wishing you all the happiest Holiday ever! And, my best wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year! In addition, I wish you peace, joy and contentment. Keep finding those ancestors and sharing information. Love to you all, Iris

There is a Phyllis Yelton -don't remember who she married - that came from Brooksville, Ky. and now lives in Florida, I believe it is Tampa...... Let me know if you want me to call Brooksville and see if she is the one and I'll try to get more information from this end.......If it is the same one, I knew her mother in law very well in the 1940's... Betty Jean Yelton Mackey......Be patient, I have very little time, but if no other info surfaces, I'll give it a try.......ladybj@juno.com or ladybj509@aol.com...........

Iris, The only other Dewitt Yelton I have was born 1 June 1922 and died 8 aug 1993. He was the son of Wray Yelton & Ada Smart. Oddly enough, according too what I have, his middle name was Harrill. I found him in the California Death Records, and I don't know his wife's name, but this might be him.
