New Chats
Please join us for the new Civil War chat beginning Thursday, May 1, 2003
with CWHostBlue and CWHostGray. We'll try to help you track down your Civil
War Ancestors and talk a little about the history of the war. You might even
hear a letter or maybe a poem or even a song of the period. If you have a
story or perhaps a letter you'd like to share, bring it with you. One thing
we do NOT want to do in the room is refight the war. We'll be looking for you
to join us.
And make sure you get your weekend off to a great start at the Friday night
chat with GenHostCuzzie, she is looking forward to helping you with your
Beginner genealogy. So stop on in and sit a spell, there's always room for
one more at the cabins.
Message Board Updates
Be on the lookout for a Beginners Section to be added to the Message Boards
by the newest member to our staff, Mama Taz. A huge welcome from all of us
Taz...
To accomodate the new Civil War chats a few new message boards have been
added. War Between the States, Civil War Query's, and the Civil War Chat Logs
are now open for "business".
We recommend that all those who visit our chat rooms also register for the
message boards. Come and share your views, tips, and those ancestors that
have you stumped.
