Hi all. As you know, the message boards for these surnames on ancestry.com are gatewayed to the lists. I want to keep them that way because it provides more opportunity to connect with a cousin; however, the downside is that when "spam" is posted to the message boards, they are automatically sent to the lists. Lately, there has been a string of these to be posted. Only the Bradford and Eller list has been affected so far, but for future reference, anything gatewayed from the message boards to the list that refers to getting out of print books from astrologos.com, just ignore it. Those messages are automatically deleted from the message boards when they are posted, but still come to the lists and there is nothing I can do about that unless I don't allow gatewaying. I am a librarian, so if anyone needs help locating out of print books for inter-library loan, please feel free to email me with as much info on the books that you have as possible. Don't be afraid to look on ebay or with amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com for out of print books as well as they have used bookstores and other resources. Thanks.
