Bonjour,

Okay, I know the other list members will allow us to correspond via the
list, until the problem gets fixed....

This address I will paste below is , for those who don't already have
it, is one of the most useful places to get info on the Oregon Trail
ancestors, etc.  If anyone would like to check to see if their ancestors
were on the Trail, she has one of the most complete lists I have seen
covering many years of emigration.  I, myself, am creating a MASTER LIST
of 1851 O.T. Pioneers (some 4,500 documented names)and plan on getting
into print before the end of the year.

Your humble servant, &c.,

Albert

Albert;

What is happening is somebody has a virus on their computer that is
spoofing
my email address and sending it through your ISP, so your ISP virus
protection is assuming I am sending the virus (I don't think so, I have
had
a current version of Norton on my puter for 3 or four years and now also
double check with AVG) and they have blacklisted me from being allowed
to
send and receive email.

At least that is how I would interpret this problem, feel free to ask
what
you want in the Or-roots list, if I need to respond to it off list I bet
I
can get through to you still.

As to Kathie Lloyd, I doubt that she wouls be of any use to you in your
Blanchard quest, as her ancestry is pretty much all Northeastern US old
family stuff, her line and mine diverged about 1669 when Sarah Wheeler
married John Smedley. I actually don't even have a current email address
for
Kathy as her life went through a lot of changes a couple of years ago
and
last time I tried to contact her, the addy I had was no longer valid.
Unfortuntely if she ever tries to get ahold of me the address she has
will
probably no longer be valid as I expect to change my addy shortly.

I'm afraid I have pretty much exhausted my resources for finding stuff
for
you unless I can did something up in Heritage quest books which I will
try
shortly.

As to my Oregon trail ancestors, that is a definite maybe, I don't know
for
sure if the Melvin clan came on the Oregon trail or a more southerly
route.
I just know they are in NorCal by about 1850, along with the Tacks who
may
have come around the Horn, big mystery there, we know some of their
furniture did because it still has the shipping info on it, but nobody
seems
to know if they shipped stuff seperate or brought it with. My dad's side
were johnny come latelys, have only been in Oregon about 100 years and
came
by steam train. My maternal grandfather jumped ship from a british
merchant
man in San Francisco around 1870 or 80 and came directly to Oregon.

I;ll bet gack to you if I find anybody on Heritage quest.
