Hello everyone,

Yes this is a true virus, but Rootsweb is bouncing all emails to this list
that have the virus attached. I have received at least 10 bounces this
morning. My virus scanner picked it up last week and deleted it. If you
catch the virus it is not through this list. I agree with Laura, lets keep
this list for genealogy only.

Thank you for listening,

Carol Spenader
