Carl, I think the idea is that if you Search, you will find the message. But I have to agree with you - as a researcher I browsed the surname boards of interest (and even some locality boards since I was looking for a number of surnames in an area). Not everyone is familiar with the Search feature, nor is it always the way to go.

I think they were from the official policy and I was quotint them to ask if Board Admins really had teh right to delete messages as if they do that means Abcestory is accepty editorial control and therefore is legally liable for all contact or illegalities and they have said they they are not. > > > >chommel6@comcast.net wrote: > > >When a surname has two spellings and two Boards, I will post to both Boards.
