Could someone please give me a little more info about this. Are these duplicates of boards already in place, but only for posters writing in German, or are these boards pertaining to Germany? If these are duplicates of what is already in place, I'm shocked. I thought Ancestry was trying to make the boards more international and more inclusive. How will segregating those for German-writing posters from the English-writing do that? I look forward to learning more. Lynne

It does say ... Note: These boards will not be part of the current RootsWeb/Ancestry.com >board setup. Stay tuned for more news. So my guess is that this is something special just for German speaking people. I have no doubt that other languages will soon follow. J.
