Listmembers, I think I have mentioned before about the changes being made by Rootsweb/Ancestry that have combined our Gen-Connect boards with Ancestry's message boards. We get messages like the one below that seem like personal email gone astray but in fact is an addition to a message already on those boards. The reason is something called "Gateway" That causes messages posted on the boards to come to the list This is confusing to me as listowner and board administrator and I'm learning slowly about this new system. On my computer I can go up to 'file'>properties> and look to see where the message is coming from. If it says from gateway...... then I know the message appeared on the board. Some people posting on these boards may be unaware that our list even exists. Maybe we will make new connections if this merge is a success.
