This Website is a pilot for the release of the whole of the 1901 Census for
England and Wales, which will be made available on the Internet from the
first working day of 2002. This pilot consists of the digitised returns for
the county of Norfolk from the 1891 Census. The Census reveals who was
living at a particular address in each city, town and village on census
night (5th April 1891).
By clicking on the options above you can search for people and places, and
view images of the original documents. The 'New Users' option will tell you
more about the Census and how to use this site.
Cheers Jane
It's a bit quiet at the moment .. think people are afraid of viruses etc.

Subject: [VIRUS] New CLSID Trojan Vulnerability Discovered
This is rather long, but well worth reading. It came from the MSNBC
web site, posted 19Apr01. The warning is kind of complicated, but
here is the gist of it:
1) A Trojan file can be created with any name, or any extension, and
users will not be able to identify it as a Trojan by name and
extension
alone.
2) Even if you have "Hide file extensions for known file types " turned
off (unchecked), when you use Explorer (WinKey+E) to view files,
you STILL won't see a hidden file extension.
3) The only protection is for the user to vigilantly look at the file icon
to
make sure that it matches the file type. For example, a README.TXT
file should have the icon of the application that is associated with
text
files. On most systems, this would be Notepad. Any deviation from
this should alert the user of a potential problem. (What this means
is that, for example, if you have a file named README.TXT, and it is
really a .TXT file, in Explorer you should see an icon in front of the
file, the icon being from whatever program/utility on your system is
associated with .TXT, probably NotePad. If you were to see a
README.TXT file, and the icon in front of it is the icon for MS
Internet Explorer or Netscape, that tells you the file is really an
HTML file, not a .TXT file.
This Trojan could also be written in the format for MS Excel, with an
extension of .XLS, .XLT, .XLA, or .XLM, named README.TXT.
In Explorer it would have the Excel icon in front of it.
4) Again, as I have posted many, many times before, DON'T OPEN
A FILE ATTACHMENT until you are 110% certain you know
what it is !!!!! Here's the way I handle ALL files attached to emails
now.
a) I DO NOT assume that it is NOT a virus/trojan/worm just because
my Anti-Virus (AV) program didn't catch it.
b) If I did not ask for the file, and the sender of the email didn't
specifically state he/she is sending it, doesn't explain what the
file is, and assures me it's NOT infected, I never open it until
I have questioned the sender in a reply, and received a 100%
confirmation.
c) Even if I asked someone for a file, and he/she has forewarned
me he/she is sending it, I still don't open it until I have
checked
it out.
d) After b) and c) above, I manually run McAfee AV on the file.
Although McAfee is a Windows application, I find it easier
to run it from a DOS window for a single file, or on a single
directory/folder. Once in the DOS window, to see all the
usage options, type SCAN /? or SCAN /HELP.
Example: You receive README.TXT as an attachment to an
email. Your email program is configured to put all downloaded
files in a directory called ATTACHMENTS. In a DOS window,
navigate to that directory. Type the following at the prompt:
SCAN README.TXT /ANALYZE /PAUSE
(This will only work if you have added your AV program to
the PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT.)
5) DO NOT depend on your AV program 100%. If a new virus,
trojan, or worm is released on Friday, you can be assured
that the makers of your AV program won't have an updated
DAT file available until at least Sunday or Monday, and
probably until 3-7 days afterwards. Case in point:
W32/Badtrans@MM Virus ("Take a Look at the Attachment")
This bad boy was released early in the morning on April 11,
and by the end of the day had spread all over the world !!!!!
Before the AV makers had a chance to put out new DAT
files, it had already infected millions of users. I received
an email with this virus on the 12th, and have received it
so many times since that I quit counting. It took both
McAfee and Norton a week to release new DAT files.
DON'T DOUBLE-CLICK ON AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT !!!!!
Anyone receiving this post may copy it and forward it to any
Mailing List, or to anyone else. You don't need to ask for
permission from me. If any of you correspond with friends or
relatives who haven't been computing for at least a year, it might
be a good idea to forward this to them. What we need to do is
get the word out to everyone in the world that email attachments
should NEVER be opened until it has been ABSOLUTELY
ascertained that they do not contain viruses, worms, or trojans.
Be vigilant, be careful, be smart,
SgtGeorge
************************************************
MICROSOFT S Component Object Model (COM) architecture has been
built into all Windows systems since the debut of Window NT 3.5 and Windows
95. It ties disparate desktop tasks together by providing programmers with
a library of standardized functions not dependent on any one programming
language.
(MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture.)
Most Windows users experience COM as OLE automation, as when you
embed an Excel spreadsheet in a Word document, and as ActiveX controls that
add interface enhancements (such as 3-D toolbars) to programs, and animate
ActiveX-compliant Web pages.
Like books in a library, COM objects require the equivalent of a
Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal classification to refer to each object
separately. This is the purpose of the CLSID, or CLasS ID, a 128-bit number
that uniquely identifies a COM object and instructs the operating system
how to execute it. What makes this especially dangerous is that a COM
object can easily be crafted to rewrite the Windows Registry, delete files,
wipe out the hard drive, and wreak all sorts of other havoc.
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
What Georgi Guninski discovered was that a CLSID appended to an
otherwise innocuous .TXT extension doesn t show up in Windows Explorer,
even with Hide file extensions for known file types turned off. Guninski
provides a proof-of-concept file on his site called TESTHTA.TXT. The file
is actually an HTML Application (HTA) file, with a full file name
TESTHTA.TXT.{3050F4D8-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}. The number in brackets
is the CLSID, but it is not displayed in Windows Explorer under normal
circumstances. Double-click on it and it will execute, not as a text file,
but in whatever way the CLSID tells it to.
Windows still knows what it is though. List the file in Windows
Explorer using the View > Details option, and Windows Explorer will report
the file in the Type column as an HTML Application. Right-clicking on the
file and selecting Properties yields the same results. And when unzipping
the test file we found that WinZip reported the entire file name, including
the CLSID extension.
BugNet has expanded on Guninski s demonstration exploit, and has
created a myriad of similar exploits in an attempt to ascertain the
seriousness of this vulnerability. With relative ease we were able to
create an Excel spreadsheet with built-in startup macro that erases files
off of the hard disk. We created a registry merge file that granted us
Administrative rights on a Windows 2000 domain server. We even found a way
to trash the entire registry, making it unusable. Despite the menacing
nature of these files, they each hide innocently behind a harmless file
name like README.TXT. Download a vulnerability .WAV demonstration file off
our Web site.
The way someone might exploit this vulnerability is to create a
gaffed file and place it in a shared network folder. People browsing to the
folder would only see the innocuous filename. However, double-clicking on
the file would unleash the ravages contained therein. The only protection
is for the user to vigilantly look at the file icon to make sure that it
matches the file type. For example, a README.TXT file should have the icon
of the application that is associated with text files. On most systems,
this would be Notepad. Any deviation from this should alert the user of a
potential problem. Given the eagerness of e-mail users around the world to
open a JPEG file of Anna Kournikova, even with the .VBS extension, doesn t
inspire much hope that CLSID laden Trojan files will become a thing of the
past. The only viable solution would be for Microsoft to create a patch.
Given their response to our request, it appears they are looking into it.
USER BEWARE
In response to our inquires, a Microsoft spokesperson stated that
Microsoft was thoroughly investigating this issue just as they do with
every report [Microsoft] receives of security vulnerabilities affecting
[its] products. However, the company believes at this point that any
further speculation on the issue would be irresponsible and
counterproductive to its goal of protecting customers information.
The solution, of course, is not to let COM objects hide behind
otherwise harmless-looking file extensions. But this is an old game really.
E-mail worms have often spread by baldly disguising Visual Basic scripts as
image files. The giveaway is the .VBS appended to the .JPG extension. The
CLSID is a bit trickier because at first glance it doesn t show up as part
of the filename. But look closer and it can t hide its true nature. E-mail
attachments reveal the entire CLSID filename, so it is likely that future
authors of viruses and worms will append files as .ZIP or self-extracting
.EXE files.
In any case, beware of any file with an extension followed by a
long number in brackets. The shepherd knows his sheep, the old saying goes,
and it is up to you to ferret out the fakes. Don t double-click it until
you double-check it.

TEN MILLION REASONS TO VISIT FREEBMD
Details of 10 million English and Welsh births, marriages and deaths
are now available for free on the Internet.
FreeBMD, the worlds biggest family history project is celebrating
having passed the 10 million milestone in its bid to transcribe the
indexes of births, marriages and deaths between 1837 and 1900 and make
them available in a free, easily searchable internet database.
The project is being carried out by a world-wide group of more than
1550 volunteers and now gives anyone whose ancestors birth, marriage
or death was listed between those dates a one in ten chance of finding
them. Searchers all over the world have praised the site, saying it
has helped them find ancestors without spending hours trawling
patiently through records and every day a further 58,000 records are
added.
Searches can be made for all entries of a particular name or narrowed
to include a certain range of years, type of event or area or county.
The database also includes a wildcard option so someone searching for
a particular name can also pull up variants.
Despite the celebrations, more volunteers are still needed to speed up
the rate at which entries can be made available. The majority of the
10 million entries have been transcribed in about a year which means
that unless more volunteers are found, the project could take another
ten years to complete. Volunteers only need a computer with internet
access and some spare time, and the project is ideal for one-finger
typists!
Details of how to get the best from a search and how to volunteer are
included on the FreeBMD website which can be found at
http://FreeBMD.rootsweb.com .
FreeBMD would like to acknowledge the generous assistance of
rootsweb.com and ancestry.com, without which this project would not
have been possible.

online searching at www.ellisisland.org/history.html. If you're among
the more than 40 percent of Americans with at least one ancestor who
immigrated through Ellis Island, the American Family Immigration History
Center will give you free access to the passenger records they left
behind (it costs $5 if you visit the actual center on Ellis Island).
Until now, these records have been available only on microfilm at the
National Archives and on loan through local Family History Centers.
Each immigrant's entry will contain up to 11 fields of digitized data,
including name, ship name and port of origin, arrival date, gender, age
on arrival, marital status and last residence. You'll also be able to
obtain a reproduction of the ship's manifest on which your ancestor's
name appears and a photo of the ship.
Thank-you :-)
