General Chat has replaced the chat board and the General Topics board.

Genealogy Chat has replaced the Tips board and Records Office board.

Some warning would have been appreciated! Very confusing, May prove better but sprung on us too quickly.

If you have to generate the boards with speech it is because of the name changes Margaret.
If you want the old General board you now need general chat. But you got on to that one anyway. Somebody has listed the others above for you. Come back to us if you still have a problem.

Good morning Margaret,

There are other changes which might confuse you when reading the boards.

At the bottom of some replies is a box headed Researching. This shows the names and areas of interest that the particular member, who has replied on the thread, is researching for their family tree so does not form part of the actual request that is being answered. This is something that can be added through "My Account" if anyone wants to do that.

Hope you can find your way around the boards soon.

PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.
