Combined Online Message Boards Recently, the message boards at Ancestry.com and RootsWeb merged into a single, one-stop facility. Here you can search messages posted by individuals in a variety of message board categories. These include surnames; geographical areas ranging from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and geographies around the world; adoptions, obituaries, cemeteries, military, software, and a wide variety of other topics. You can read and respond to messages posted by other researchers or post a message yourself. The consolidation of the message boards into a single facility provides you, the researcher, with the largest such facility with the widest range on the Internet, and a strong set of integrated search functions to help you quickly and easily access messages with search words or terms you are seeking.
