Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Hiya everyone,
I am forwarding the below two emails to you as advanced warning of a new
strain of the BadTrans virus. I hope to forestall any long discussions
about it on the list.
If you have any further questions that the below do not answer feel free to
email me privately and I will help you the best I can.
Also, as mentioned in John's email, members who are infected, I will know by
the type of email I get in response to this, will be unsubscribed until we
can determine through correspondence that they are virus-free.
Thanks in advance for your understanding in this matter,
Lainee Denton
List Admin

Dear All:
The message below is from Sue on the TSL list and she states the situation
quite clearly. The difficulty is that the attachment may not show or there
is a false extension. It appears to have xxx.doc or xx.txt but the real
extension ( .scr.or .exe) is 59 spaces to the right. So even if you get a
email from a trusted source ( me or others) and there is no message etc, be
very careful. It will also show about 29 or 30k as the size of the message.
So that is a dead giveaway in that there is 30 k of message and it doesn't
show up anyway.
I have also received a mumber of these and have advised some of you of the
problem. We will correspond to make sure your computer is clean before
resubscribing.
If anyone receives one of these virus transmissions from a member:
A: advise the list of the name
B: send me the name and email address and
mail list.
Best Regards
John A Hansen

Forwarded message
Many of you will remember the "badtrans" virus last August. People seemed
to wise-up about that one, but now there is another _strain_ of the badtrans
virus called W32.Badtrans.B@mm and I have received quite a few of them ...
some from current list members. I am Bcc'ing those list members whose
computers are infected, so if you receive a copy of this message without the
[TSL] prepend, please quickly go to the link below to learn how to clean the
virus out of your computer.
You will NEVER receive a virus through the list, but if listmembers get
infected, their computer may send you the virus, which _may_ have a list
subject line.
My Norton "anti-virus" program is doing a very good job of detecting,
but Norton doesn't seem to have a complete write-up about this one. They do
mention the file extensions etc., but they don't mention how the email will
appear or whether there is a message or not. My experience has been that
only one has arrived with a subject line from a list post, the others
simply have a "Re:" in the subject line. I have seen no message (but maybe
Norton is deleting that too) Most of those I have received have come from
Australian or New Zealand email addresses, so they must have gotten it
first. Also, I don't know whether my Norton is doing this (the write-up
doesn't say) but the email addresses of the sending computers is altered by
having an underline character preceeding the address, such as
<_emailaddress(a)optusnet.com.au>
PLEASE remember to make sure you have up-to-date Anti Virus software,
AND remember to update the Virus definitions regularly. There are a lot of
good Anti Virus programs out there (I use Norton) but they aren't any good
unless you update them.
You can read about this virus and how to remove it from your system on the
Norton Symantec site ...

Native Peoples who attended the 1621 event:

Squanto, the Pilgrims translator, was present as well. Among other probable
attendees are Hobbamock, Quadequina (Massasoits brother), and Tokamahamon
(mentioned in Mourts Relation in June 1621, as a "special friend"). We do
not know whether Samoset was still in the Plymouth area or had already
returned to Maine.

Please respond to the person listed to contact on each of these most wanted.

I am searching for information on Joe or Joseph Bucher. All I know is he was married to my wife's great grandmother Rosa Lee Vohs around 1890. By 1902 she was remarried, so I am not sure if Joe died or they divorced. (not likely since she was catholic). Joe most likely is from Kansas or Missouri, since that is where Rosa Lee is from. She died in Wichita, but was raised just south of Kansas City. Any help would be appreciated.
Contact: Dennis dt0611(a)aol.com

George b. Jan. 1873
Andrew Anderson b. 15 June 1875 married Pearl Isabel Yarber

Hiya everyone,
Some volunteers from the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution
(DAR) have established a wonderful new program for users of Rootsweb. These
volunteers will do lookups in their database and records if you think one of
your ancestors served in some capacity during the American Revolution. These
volunteers have more databases that are available to them than the ones
commonly used by the search engines.
The process is fairly simple :
Go to the DAR message board:
There are two ways to do that:
> www.rootsweb.com
> message boards
> topics
> organizations and societies
> DAR
Or if you want the easy way :-)
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.dar
Address your message as follows:
subject : DAR Lookup > surname> location > dates
In the body of the message put the information regarding the person,
Be sure to fill out the surnames box at the bottom since the new search
engine will be keying on that item.
Leave the email response box checked and you will be notified when the DAR
volunteers respond. Give them a week or so to get to your request.
We really appreciate their efforts. This info can be key for:
a: joining these prestigious organizations ( DAR & SAR)
b: sending a request for the copies of the files that were submitted and the
information they have available.
Many thanks to:
Glenda Thompson DAR VIS Volunteer
Vice Chrm. Patriot Lookup
for organizing this effort and all the many volunteers that are donating
their time and effort to us instead of pursuing their own ancestors,
Lainee Denton

Found this on another list & thought it was worth reposting here:
This article appeared in the Washington Post yesterday, November 8th.
Cngress, in its wisdom, has decided to hold hearings on whether or not
to continue to allow access to the SSDI, since all of the terrorists on
9-11 had SS#. I just wanted to suggest that, first of all, you read it
straight from the horse's mouth (the Washington Post article) before the
web rumor mill gets hold of it, and second, that you see if you find out
as many things about the SSDI as I did when I read the article. If
nothing else, it is a great education about the SSDI itself. Go to:
http://genealogysearch.org/news/index.html
and click on the link for the SSDI article in the Washington Post.

Thanks to Michael McManness admin of another list who posted this and then
allowed me to "borrow" his words for here!

Hi Everyone,
The Message Board is set up so that any messages posted will be forwarded to
this Maillist. You will know that it is a Message Board posting because it
will start with this line:
"This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list."
Later in the message it will give you a URL to click on for seeing the
original post and where you can post a reply.
Posting a reply to the Maillist will *not* benefit the original author of
the Message Board post as chances are, they may not be subscribed to this
Maillist. Also by posting your response to the Message Board, a copy of
your answer will be sent to the Maillist (so you don't have to do it
yourself). In addition, your reply is posted to the Message Board so that
other people may contact you in regard to your reply. This provides maximum
exposure to make connections and simply enhances the Maillist.
The Message Boards are designed to work in conjunction with this Mailing
List. As a Maillist subscriber I can share my personal circumstances with
you. My time is limited as are other peoples. I have obtained a great deal
of information on my family history and like to share it with others. If I
have to choose between one medium or the other the Message Boards are going
to win because your post gets greater exposure for a longer period of time.
My goal is to make one post that goes to the Message Boards that is
gatewayed to the Maillist that gets archived. You've heard the old
expression of killing two birds with one stone. This provides maximum
exposure to make connections and simply enhances the Maillist. My goal is
to assist researchers by making their online research as easy as possible.
I hope this information helps. If you have problems or further questions
please let me know by contacting me at
elaine_dee(a)hotmail.com.
Since I Admin several Message Boards and Maillists, please identify which
Message Board or Maillist that you are referring to so that I can give you a
specific answer (with URLs if necessary). Thank you.
:-)
Thanks again,
Elaine
