Mail Lists, Message
Boards and Lookup Resources
|
|
| One of the best ways to help
connect to other researchers, is to post messages on public forums. We
suggest that you visit the Greene County Message Board on Ancestry.com, and
to any of the Surname Boards or other Topics you are researching. Ancestry
Boards are free, the only requirement is to register for a free account in
order to post and receive notification of responses to your posts. Remember,
do the research first, locate your ancestors in Census records to get an
idea of where to lived, then seek out others researching the same families. Post a message on any of the Ancestry Message Boards by clicking onto the "Begin New Thread" option on the selected Board: |
|
|
Newbies Board |
|
| Remember that when posting a message to a Mailing List, a Message Board or on Facebook, you should be clear and concise as to what you are looking for. In the Subject line of a Board and in the opening part of a Facebook post, you should include the Name, Location, and a Time Frame at the very least, then in the Body of the message, a more detailed description of the individual and/or family saying what other records you have looked through and where, will better enable others to help you in your research. Never ask for "all the records that you have..." or similar wording when requesting research help, one should always be specific and courteous in any message posted on a public forum, and you will get much better results because researchers are more likely to read through a well-worded message than one that gives little or no details. | |
