Now that Christmas is behind us it is time to tap into a
great source of genealogy information called IRC chat. There
are several channels, or rooms, set up for genealogy chat
from general genealogy to surname channels. Many of us use
the Afternet server and the genealogy channels that they
host such as #genealogyforum, #gen-newengland and #gen-cates
just to name a couple. For more information on getting a
chat program, setting it up and how to join in on these chat
sessions go to
http://www.rare.on.ca/users/genealogyforum/Access1.htm The
information for joining #genealogyforum can also be used to
join #gen-newengland (for those searching for New England
surnames) and #gen-cates (for discussions of Cate/Cates/and
other spellings).
If anyone needs more help or information feel free to
email me directly and I will be more than willing to help.
Hope to see you soon.
Ken
