I am conducting list housekeeping for the month, making sure that all e-mail address's
are still valid.
Please remember to post to the list! Alot of Reunions have either gone on or are getting
ready to start. My husband and i cannot wait to get to our next one, another family
reunion is about to start for us in 3 weeks and we just got home from the last one!
Post stories, lineages, or even anything that you have found that deals with the list name
even if it does'nt pertain perticularly to your branch of the family. Remember all
messages to the list go to the archives, so it is entirely possible that someone may be
looking for the information that you hold.
Thanks,
Shirley

Virus warnings
RootsWeb's mailing lists are filtered and attachments are not allowed. A virus that is
distributed as an attachment will not reach you through a RootsWeb mailing list.
A recent virus, and several imitations of it, may result in your receiving an e-mail (or a
greeting card) with a virus attached, that appears to come from RootsWeb or from an
address you are familiar with. Some virus will send a message to all the unread messages
in the infected person's mailbox folders; another will use addresses found in the
infected person's address book. They send messages using a forged address (for
instance, using RootsWeb or the infected person in the return address). The subject line
may be from a message that was recently received, making it even more credible. While it
may appear to come from RootsWeb, that is only an illusion of the virus -- our address and
the subject line is a forgery.
What can you do? Protect yourself by never opening an attachment from someone you do not
know, or that look suspicious. If an unexpected attachment comes from someone you do know,
write to confirm that the attachment was sent by them prior to opening it. If you have an
e-mail from RootsWeb, and there is an attachment of any kind, don't open it. Use a
virus protection program. Know what viruses are out there so you will recognize one when
if you get it. There are sites that will help you, including those shown below.

Remember, if you do not open the attachment, you can not get infected with the virus.
Delete it. Then empty the trash bin to make sure it is gone. If you are using an e-mail
program that stores attachments elsewhere on your computer, such as Eudora, find it there
and delete it too.
