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
Hi everyone. I just want to tell everyone that roots has a new section under the Cole family on Cemeteries. I don't know, if it's always been there or not, but check it out. You might find some of your relatives listed. Take care.
James L. Cosper
Looking for info on Orson C. Cole who was born in Ohio in July 23, 1834 and died in Roaring Branch, Pa. on March 20, 1897. He was with the 106th Pa Volunteers during the Civil War and married Harriet M. Landon.
Had the following children: Orman C., Luther Leander, William P. and Henry Ward.
I saw your post tonight about Wiley P. Cole and was wondering is it is at all
possible his name is Wilman P. Cole (Wiley)? I'd love to know, thanks.
<< Don Davidson you send me an email, regarding Wiley P. Cole. Can you

I've received so many messages from new members who are concerned about
receiving a virus or worm through a mailing list that it seems appropriate to
post the full story.
Because the most active online genealogists belong to mailing lists, these
are often used for warnings of virus/worm outbreaks. This does NOT mean that
they are the primary source of infection. In fact, the RootsWeb listserver
does not allow attachments so you CAN'T get a virus/worm directly through the
list.
Rather, you may be targeted anytime a computer that has your address stored
in its address book becomes infected. For example, that computer may belong
to:
1. A personal friend or family member [in fact, anyone with whom you
regularly correspond].
2. A member of a mailing list to which you've posted a message [especially
if it was a recent post].
3. Someone who has read a message you've posted to a bulletin board and
saved your address. [These stay around "forever", so it could be a message
you posted years ago.]
4. Someone who has found an address you've posted on a website.
I have several e-mail addresses that I use for different purposes, so can
share the breakdown I've observed. I administer four lists, occasionally get
an infected attachment from a listmember and take care of the problem behind
the scenes. I belong to many more lists where I simply lurk -- and have yet
to receive an infected file at the address I use for those. I have an old
address I once used to post to message boards, which still frequently falls
under attack. Most of all, however, I get infected messages sent to the
addresses I use only for support of specialized websites.
The proverbial "bottom line" -- some activities are riskier than others but
it doesn't matter HOW the person got your address. If it's in the computer's
address book and that computer becomes infected, you will become a target.
There are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself, though:
Keep your anti-virus software up-to-date.
If your e-mail software has a "do not automatically download files" option,
use it.
Finally, if this explanation just triggers further questions -- PLEASE send
them to me off-list.

I have responded to all of the off-list test messages that came with
attachments from infected computers, but the volume of mail has been so great
that I realize I may have missed handling a message from a computer that is
O.K. If you have sent a message I seem to have ignored, it probably means
you have no problem -- but don't hesitate to write to me again offlist.
I'm doing everything I can behind the scenes to minimize this outbreak, and
I'll post periodic reports to my lists when there is a significant
development.
In the meantime, please keep ALL virus/worm/etc. discussions offlist.
Thank you!

Thanks to all who have observed the rules and contacted me off-list with
their questions about the current outbreak of BADTRANS.
As Administrator, it is my responsibility to let you know of genuine threats.
Such a post is merely a notice, not an invitation to discussion. There are
other places to learn about and discuss viruses, hoaxes, etc. -- these topics
are NOT appropriate on the list.
PLEASE -- observe the rules and take such discussions private.
Now, let's get back to genealogy!

All Cole researchers; have any of you come across a Major Cole (not sure if
this is his first name or his title) he married a woman by name of Frances
(Fanny) Jones. they had several children, one of them, Jacob Lewis Cole b
1830 in either Alabama or South Carolina, is my great, great, great
grandfather.
I have hit a brick wall with Major Cole.
Any sugesstions or ideas?

My cousin in Idaho sent this to me just this week. It may help. I, for
one, will try it.
?Important Information you should know! Trick your address book!
Who among us doesn't know someone who has experienced the
embarrassment of unknowingly spreading a computer virus via
their email address book? It's time to stop this from happening by
TAKING CONTROL of your email program!
For those who are unaware, Many computer viruses spread
themselves by sending themselves to everyone in your address
book. Imagine how you would feel if you were unknowingly infected
with a computer virus, and worse yet, your friends, family, and business
contacts were being targeted by your computer! Well, if you want to
avoid this sort of thing, here's a great tip:
This tip won't prevent YOU from getting any viruses (you have to scan
those attachments yourself before opening them to do that), but it
will stop those virus" from latching onto your address book and
sending Itself out to others.
To avoid spreading computer viruses, create a contact in your email
address book with the name !0000 (that is: an exclamation point, a
zero, a zero, a zero, a zero) with no email address in the details.
This contact will then show up as your first contact. If a virus attempts
to do a "send all" on your contact list, your PC will put up an error
message saying that "The Message could not be sent One or more
recipients do not have an e-mail address. Please check your Address
Book and make sure all the recipients have a valid e-mail address."
You click on OK and the offending (virus) message would not have been
sent to anyone. Of course no changes have been made to your original
contacts list The offending (virus) message may then be automatically
stored in your "Drafts" or "Outbox" folder. Go in there and delete the
offending message. Problem is solved and virus is not spread.
Try this and pass on to your e-mail contacts. The more people that use
this technique; the less vulnerable we will be to viruses that spread in
this manner!

I've been reading with interest the e-mails re: the possible viruses. I
received an e-mail also and am now wondering if it could have been the one
that caused me problems last week. To make a long story short, I evidently
received what is termed a "Trojan Horse" in an e-mail attachment and through
that they were able to obtain my password and tried to send out a mass
mailing under my screen name; fortunately, AOL caught the "unusual activity"
on my screen name and blocked our account; we couldn't get online with any of
our (three) screen names and had to go through the rigamarole of getting it
straightened out. We have Norton Anti-virus and it didn't pick up any virus,
but a Trojan Horse woud not necessarily be picked up like that. We had to
change our passwords, etc. and all is fine now. I have e-mailed everyone in
my "address book" regarding this matter and advising them to run a virus scan
on their puters... figured it wouldn't hurt.
A Trojan Horse can also unknowingly be picked up from using a web site. I
NEVER download anything from anyone I don't know personally, with the
exception of the different genealogy "families" I subscribe to, but those are
usually not downloads, they are just messages anyway. I honestly do NOT
suspect any of these "family members" to be sending stuff like that in
e-mail, but I do want to alert them that someone may have been messing with
their account.
Hope no one is offended by anything I've written... I repeat that I am just
concerned that no one has a problem. gentsia z.

The genealogical community seems to be experiencing another outbreak of the
BADTRANS worm -- I've received several copies of this one myself this evening.
The subject line has varied but the infected attachments have a double
extension, for example .doc.scr or .doc.pif
Just a reminder to keep anti-virus software updated and NOT to download
unexpected attachments.
See http://www.antivirus.com/ for more information.

I also, received an email from Brian with what I believe to be a virus HAMSTER.
There was nothing in the body, and the subject line was : Unlikely buriel location
The attachments were:
HAMPSTER.DOC.pif (29.0 KB)
ATT 000067.txt ( 0 bytes)
When I tried to reply to him, the fake address appeared which was his usual email address but with the underscore ( _ ) typed just before his email address. So it bounced. I wrote again when I discovered the fake address, so hope he got the email as it was not returned yet.
Anyone receiving an email from Brian L. Cole, please be wary of attachments until he can get his computer cleaned up.
Thanks Clemi....I was not sure if it was just my imagination or not.
Enough about viruses, and I hope I have not offended the list owner. Better safe than sorry.

I found a Henry Cole yesterday in Tallapoosa AL who may be the son of Jacob
Cole b. 1767 and Winneford. He is listed with wife Nancy and various
children. Today I found the James C. Cole lised with Henry and Nancy in
1860 census Quitman County GA. Henry is with him as are some of the
brothers and sisters. Henry is listed as 64, which would make him born in
1796 or 97. James C. Cole is listed with a Mary M. Henry's wife Nancy is
not listed in the 1860 census. I'm looking hard. Once again, Henry is
listed as having been born in GA. Some of the children in SC. James C.
Cole is a blacksmith, age 34.
