I am so leary of opening any attachments right now. I got one from "huff" subject was Re:Chase-L my chase line. If this is ok please let me know as I didn't think I was expecting anything. I hate to say but I could have forgotten also. If you have something for me please let me know and send it, I am so greatful for any help I don't wish to offend, but with all the virus stuff now ??? Thanks Gail
Hi all!
I was not specifically yelling at Elaine - I was just yelling at everyone not to do that.
Lisa wrote and said that the list does not pass ANY attachments through. Over the years I have had so many attachments from people on the list that I didn't know it. You all must have sent them to me directly.
You might understand better if I told you that the email said "What is this, a virus?" Why anyone would have sent it on was beyond me.
I always try to let all of you know as soon as a virus alert comes out, and hope that by now you all know not to send stuff on - just delete the email if your virus program has not caught it.
So, Please Accept my Apology :-( I'm sorry.

According to my records Samuel Chase was the son of the Rev. Thomas Chase and
Matilda Walker. The Rev. Thomas Chase was born circa 1703 and died in 1779
in Baltimore, MD. He was educated at Cambridge; inducted in the Stepney
Parish, Somerset Co., MD as a rector from 1740; rector of St. Paul’s Parish
from 1743 until his death in 1779. His interment is in St. Paul’s Cemetery,
Baltimore, MD. His first wife, Matilda Walker, daughter of Thomas Walker,
died in 1741. He later married Ann Birch on 19 July 1763.

freeman of London and a member of the Honorable Company of Tylers and
Bricklayers. He owned land in Maidenshead Court and Westminister. His

Good Morning,
I was wondering if anyone on the list had done any in depth research into Chase family members who fought in the American Revolution.
I found one of my ancestors...Henry Chase, died Apr 1778, in the DAR Index of Patriots, listed as a private, but no info about where or when he fought.
I didn't find this info online....I had to do it the old fashioned way and researched it in the library. :0)
Wondered if anyone on the list could offer any suggestions?
Thank you,
Kathy Caslin caslin(a)winco.net

Ted, William Gould was the founder of the Chase Chronicles which was
the publication of the Chase Association. The migration to Sutton
was in the early 1700's. Probably what you remember, were articles
from the chronicles that were posted to the Chase list.

Hi there,
I may have asked htis before, and if I did I am sorry I lost it ....but Samuel
CHASE, one of the signers, which line was he from ?
I have a copy of a letter from the BRIGGS family archives, indicating he was
possibly connected to the Chases of New Brunswick.
Thanks

Virginia, thanks for the information. I called our library here in St.
Louis, and they just acquired a large number of books one of which is "Seven
Generations The Descendants of Aquila and Thomas
Chase". The bad news is they don't know where it is yet or when they will
have it catalogued and on the shelf.
Does anyone out there own "Seven Generations The Descendants of Aquila and
Thomas
Chase", that would do a look-up?
The information I am looking for is anything on this man:
Solomon CHASE b.prob. bef 1794 d.? m. prob. bef 1814, L. LEE
child of this marriage:
Elvira CHASE b. Apr 1814, Jericho, Chittenden, VT d. 11 Mar 1888,

Thanks, Barb

Since there has been so much discussion re the DNA testing, herein is an
article about the project at Brigham Young University
(snowing in Washing ton State!)

Microbiology benefits genealogy
By Scarlett Barger
Associate Web Editor
Little by little, blood samples and pedigree charts are adding information
to a database that BYU officials hope will become global.
Instead of using PAF and microfilm, genealogy buffs will be able reap the
benefits of microbiology.
The molecular genealogy lab, under the direction of microbiologist Scott
Woodward, will make it possible to track down missing family lines through
DNA analysis.
The database is in its beginning stages right now, but officials say that
once it is sufficiently large, it will help researchers answer specific
questions such as where their ancestors came from.
Lab assistant Lucus Odahlen said the database is made up of DNA samples
drawn from thousands of volunteers. Volunteers also must bring
four-generation pedigree charts to add to the database.
Odahlen, 26, a senior from Rapid City, S.D., majoring in zoology, said that
workers analyze DNA samples and draw conclusions based on where and when
ancestors were born.
Large markers in the DNA indicate general findings such as race.
"Within those, there are smaller markers," he said. These small markers
indicate more specific information, such as ancestor's migration patterns,
he said.
The lab keeps records of trends, which lend to other findings, he said.
Ugo Perego, lab public relations director, said the lab has about 25,000
samples right now, but it may take four more years to reach the goal of
100,000 samples.
Perego said the data is strictly confidential. In fact, the names of the
people do not matter -- it is just the dates and places of birth.
Since the database is still being put together and because of
confidentiality, Perego said the lab cannot give donors information right
away on their ancestry, but donors can examine general findings on the lab's
Web site, http://molecular-genealogy.byu.edu.
Patrons can also ask the lab to track a family line for a small fee. For
example, if a person has traced back most of his or her genealogy except one
line, the lab can examine the person's pedigree chart along with a DNA
sample. By process of elimination, the lab can detect where the unknown line
came from, Perego said.
The lab is working on 40 to 50 such cases right now, he said.
Research Associate Jane Anderson said that when the database is large
enough, researchers would be able to come to the lab with more complicated
questions.
The lab could link researchers to family group names or specific regions to
look for more information on their ancestors. It is also possible to confirm
whether a person is adopted or whether an ancestor is actually part of a
person's line, she said.
For example, the lab played a role in tracing the ancestry of the prophet
Joseph Smith. Anderson said that genealogists were stumped at one point in
deciphering between three men named Robert Smith. But the lab was able to
find out which man was the prophet's ancestor.
With so many possibilities for the future, Perego sees an urgency to find
enough samples to bring the database to practical use.
The lab pays students $10 to give blood for the project, he said.
Perego also helps organize large groups outside the Wasatch Front to get
tested.
A large-size group is necessary because of the sizable traveling and testing
expenses for lab workers, he said.
According to Perego, wards and stakes in The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints are a common source of samples.
The lab's Web site contains a list of sampling events across the country.
Those interested can find out about events in their neighborhood and arrange
to be there, Perego said.
"Anyone I find to participate in the project is one less person I have to
find," he said.
Dale Miles of Lindon arranged for the lab workers to get blood samples from
his stake.
Miles said that he and about 200 others listened to a lecture while getting
sampled. The experience was interesting, but the material was very
technical, he said.
"It kind-of boggles your mind."
Just the same, Miles said that at this point, it is easy to run into dead
ends if researchers only use PAF. Doing one's genealogy is more than just
collecting names - it involves a lot of time and even travel, he said. That
is why a DNA database may be an important alternative in tracking lines, he
said.
According to Perego, most samples have been collected from the United
States. However, workers sometimes travel to other countries to get diverse
populations for the database.
Perego said he looks for genealogical conferences around the world and asks
coordinators if he can extract blood samples.
Even when areas do not have conferences, Perego said there are universities,
hospitals and other organizations that could help plan the event.
Besides the continental U.S., lab workers have collected samples in Hawaii,
Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Russia, South America and the Middle East.
When large groups arrange to get their blood sampled, Perego said he gives
them preparation packets with set-up instructions and permission forms.
Those interested can go to http://molecular-genealogy.byu.edu for more
information.

BEST (and simplest) advice is:
1. Keep your virus program's virus file up to date!
2. NEVER NEVER NEVER open any email attachment that has either an extension
of *.exe, or one that has more than ONE extension, for example *.MP3.pif

Does anyone have info on Solomon CHASE, b. prob. Jericho, VT? d.? m. L. LEE b. VT

Not much to go on but Solomon is a distinctive name, thought I would give it a try.
Is there still a CHASE website with a searchable data base?

HELLO LIST: The below explaination is right on the button to
handle this virus/worm - I am on another very large list/serv and it
too was infected....there are a lot of good tekkie gals and guys
on this list who have offered these ideas. I adopted the one
with the _000 in the addressbook in case I get infected and dont
know it. ( note the underscore dash - this is one of the clues.)
Hope this will help this list to keep clean.

#1 SOLUTION
How to Stop Most Evil Messages from Coming In to Your Mailbox:
1. First, Go to your EMAIL/PREFERENCES/OPTIONS/SETTINGS (whatever
they're called in your email program).
2. Set your preference SIZE OF MESSAGE (incoming) to 10000 bytes. That
is a good minimum and keeps this worm and most others also out. This
worm is 13KB+ so it will be kept OUT, your server will not deliver it in
full to you IF this byte limit is in your Preferences. You can still get
it IF you click on it, so DO NOT CLICK ON IT!
3. You can now Delete anything that has TRUNCATED! in the message area.
Remember: NO MATTER WHO IT IS FROM, DO NOT CLICK TO DOWNLOAD IT. It is
NOT from the Sender, it's from the virus/worm!
How To Delete Already Received Messages (because you didn't have the
above byte limit in place) WITHOUT OPENING THEM:
Open A SAFE MESSAGE but not one that you care to save. Its message is
now displayed in the preview area.
Highlight this message's own s-u-bject line in the mailbox index.
You can now Delete it by clicking on the Recycle Bin icon if you want
to, right? But DON'T DO THAT JUST YET!
Review the s-u-b-j-e-ct lines which have messages in them that you do
not recognize. Hints at what the suspect ones could look like:
- Sender is someone you hardly ever hear from or haven't in a long time;
- Sender is unknown to you but you have seen the name on the JC list;
- Sender may be completely unknown;
- There is a Re: in front of the title of the message in the s-u-bject
line but you don't recognize the mail or if you do, it's a very old
mail;
- If it just has a Re: followed by nothing, or a completely blank
s-u-bject line, that's another sure hint.
- If you have a mailbox feature that tells you how big (in bytes or
pages) the message is, that's another clue. Obviously if it's over the
standard 1-10 pages at the most, it's a big file, likely to have an evil
long script or attachment in it.
Now, PAY ATTENTION:
===================
1. Highlight the SAFE first message again in the index list, the one you
can Delete without missing it.
2. While HOLDING DOWN THE Ctrl key, next you HIGHLIGHT the first "iffy"
message s-u-bject line in the index; [your preview window should then go
completely blank because more than 1 message title has been selected]
3. Let go of the Ctrl key after you have highlighted it. Go to next
suspect message, HOLD DOWN THE Ctrl key when you highlight it.
4. Keep going through your entire received but not read email and do the
same. Remember to HOLD DOWN THAT Ctrl key when you highlight. If you
don't, you will lose all the previously highlights! If this happens, you
have to start over from the top.
When you have selectively highlighted all the suspect messages, THEN
DELETE THEM all at once by clicking on the Recycle Bin (or use Delete in
the top text dropdown menu).
None of these messages will open in the preview window because they'll
go straight to the Recycle Bin.
Now, EMPTY the Recycle Bin.
Now, COMPACT your email box.
The last two options are usually under FILE in the top menu, find them
and DO IT.
Do I know how to get rid of the virus? Nope. Ask someone who has done it
or check with your antivirus program provider assistance site.
#2 SOLUTION----------------------------------
Here is a rather simple step to take to help ensure that
people/addresses in your address book do not become infected if
you are! You add a "dummy" email address at the top of your address
book, and viola, the worm sends it there...well,
here is the post that explains it better than I can.
Linda Kent (minor lurker in a major,cold spell from upstate NY)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is from a computer teacher at the Marysville High
School.
I learned a computer trick today that's really
ingenious in its simplicity to stop your computer from
sending out a worm virus using your address. As you
may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer
it heads straight for your email address book and
sends itself to everyone in there, thus infecting all
your friends and associates.
This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your
computer, but it will stop it from using your address
book to spread further, and it will alert you to the
fact that the worm has gotten into your system.
Here's what you do: first, open your address book
and click on "new contact" just as you would do if you
were adding a new friend to your list of email
addresses. In the window where you would type your
friend's first name, type in 000_ (that's 3 zeroes
followed by an underline). In the window below
where it prompts you to enter the new email address,
type in
WormAlert(a)alert.com
(If it tells you this is not a valid address just say
yes to add it, or OK.) Then complete everything by
clicking add, enter, OK, etc.
Now, here's what you've done and why it works: the
"name" 000_ will be placed at the top of your address
book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will
start in an effort to send itself to all your friends.
But when it tries to send itself to 000_, it will
be undeliverable because of the phony email address
you entered (WormAlert). If the first attempt fails
(which it will because of the phony address), the worm
goes no further and your friends will not be infected.
Here's the second great advantage of this method: if
an email cannot be delivered, you will be notified of
this in your In-Box almost immediately. Hence, if
you ever get an email telling you that an email
addressed to WormAlert could not be delivered, you
know right
away that you have the worm virus in your system.
You can then take steps to get rid of it!
Pass it on....
