Message Board Post:
Have you ever searched by keyword through old posts on a message board and happily struck
gold by finding names or dates related to your ancestors? You quickly send an email to
that poster's listed address only to discover their "addy" has long changed.
You then return to the message board and post a response, hoping that person will soon
read the board. You wait.
And wait.
Perhaps your reply goes unnoticed. Someone else might know the person and alert them to
your post. You may or may not ever connect.
When and if you change your email address, please let Rootsweb/Ancestry know so that they
can update any message board posts you've made over the years. See the topic: MESSAGE
