One of the best ways to help connect to other researchers, is to post messages on public forums. We suggest that you visit the Halifax County Message Board on Ancestry.com, and to any of the Surname Message Boards for the surnames 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.
Archived Rootsweb Mailing Lists~ while Rootsweb lists have now been discontinued, they all remain archived online for searches of all of the wonderful research that was posted in them over the years. Once you are on the Rootsweb site you choose from below, select the List, scroll down to "Archives"; click "browse or search the archives". Posts are listed by year on the left, or you can "Search this list" to look for specific names, topics or other. ALL NORTH CAROLINA MAILING LISTS
ALSO NORTH CAROLINA FORUM at GENEALOGY.COM View the North Carolina archived messages. GenForum is no longer an active board for posting, but the archived messages still contains tremendous genealogical info for researchers.
Facebook is one of the popular ways to do research by posting & sharing on some of the many genealogy Groups of all kinds. By joining a group, you can post your research questions and get responses from others who are possibly researching the same families, or who can help you with tips and info that may be a resource you didn't have before. I suggest you look for groups for the Locations or Surnames you are researching. Some of these groups for Halifax and neighboring Counties are below: NCGenWeb Project (all NC) Halifax, Northampton, & Nash Counties Genealogy Franklin, Granville, Vance & Warren Genealogy Franklin, Granville, Vance, and Warren (+) Genealogy Pitt, Edgecombe, Wilson, Martin & Beaufort Co. Genealogy Genealogy-Bertie County, North Carolina

Tips on Posting Messages Remember that when posting a message to either a Message Board or on Facebook, you should be clear and concise as to what you are looking for. In the Subject line, 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. In a Facebook post, all of the above information should be included in the message. 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. Additional detailed instructions for posting messages can be found on How to Post a Query; this is a must-read especially for beginners. A particularly good article was written about Facebook postings which I think everyone should read before posting:
Asking For Help The Right Way.
