As many of you know, the RootsWeb GenConnect Boards were merged with
MyFamily.com &
Ancestry.com queries. And, are now located at
ancestry.com's web site at:
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=
The bios, obits, pension, wills, etc. boards have all been combined into
one database with the queries. If you are looking for one of these
catagories/topics, you will need to click on the Advanced Search button.
Then use the drop down window that says "With Message Type:" You can no
longer bring up all the bios/obits for a certain county. It sorts by
keywords in the message &/or subject line, surname, and by the author.
When you want to search only the county you are on, you will need to
click on "This Board", as the default is set for "All Boards."
However,
I believe they are working on changing the default to "This Board."
You will now need to register with
Ancestry.com to be able to post
messages.
A few people have written to me lately, of which I have not answered.
All the mess with the new boards has taken up much of my time. So,
please be patient, I will get to you.
