Hi Margaret.

I just read today's issue of ROOTS-L, and it looks like you didn't the note that I sent yesterday morning.  Please let me know if this gets through to you.

I got your response very easily.  You should know this procedure, from my standpoint.  When Earthlink.com gets a message for me from an address that the computer doesn't recognize, it adds the name of the sender and the subject to a list -- which averages about 60 a day -- in what it calls "Suspect Mail".  

The reason I have this installed --  For a period of a few months last year -- apparently because of a legitimate list I was on -- my computer got infected with viruses and worms.  Someone used my computer "long distance" to send spam of an objectionable nature.  Earthlink and my local provider Time-Warner Oceanic Cablevision were going to kick me off the Internet unless I got a new hard drive and put in heavy security.

And so I did.  But it's very easy to handle.

When I look through the list, which I do at least once a day, and find something even possibly connected with my family history interest,  I very gratefully run it through my In Box, read it, save it, and respond to it -- usually very promptly.

When I see some message having to do with gambling, travel, greeting cards, appliances, working at home, helping an African national get his family's million dollars (another one today), or unidentified or uninteresting, it goes into a collection called Trash.

Let me repeat my thanks for your helpful answer to my posting, apologies for your inconvenience, and a hope that you (and other readers) will understand the need for some of us to protect ourselves.

Aloha from Hawaii.  David Kayner

>Well, great minds really do think alike.  I've tried to get soome response by email from the NYState Dept of Health -- to no avail.  I've made a real cursory check of Brooklyn public & private facilities of the time, and can't find out much, at least long distance.  More investigation of this kind has to be saved for when I can get to Brooklyn in person, hopefully in a couple of months.

>Lockport -- and down the Ridge Road to Hartland (on my mom's side), and over to Gasport (on my father's side) is where my roots are, although I grew up in Rochester.  And it seems to be an interesting town still, although it looks like it's really struggling to stay alive, from what I read on a couple of websites.

>Thanks again for the note.  I've got the Ancestry.com stuff covered.  I need to check out the time that Lillie & Gus were in Guelph.  She might have developed some friendships there, and gone back after the breakup.  But I'm doing some other stuff right now, which I'll be happy to share oce it gets in better shape.

>Stay in touch.  Let me know if you have any other ideas.  dsk.
