http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/board/rw/hurricanekatrina2005 The aftereffects of Hurricane Katrina, which hit several U.S. states recently, will be felt for some time. This message board has been created to enable you to post inquiries about your loved ones, friends, neighbors, and "genie friends" who may have been in harm's way. Hopefully, when they are able to get online, they will post here to let us know they are OK and to share their stories of survival. Queries and news about archives, libraries, repositories, cemeteries, and other items of genealogical interest are also appropriate for this board. Offers to help the victims of the hurricane should be directed the appropriate agencies, such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, religious groups, etc. Any messages which are off-topic for this board, go beyond its scope, or foster bigotry or hatred toward any ethnic group, religion, or nationality, will be removed promptly with no warning. http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/board/rw/hurricanekatrina2005
