Dear Cousins, This message is to inform the "newbies", and remind the "old timers", of the DAVENPORT GenConnect Boards. This "web based forum" allows anyone to view and post Queries, Biographies, Obituaries, Bible Records, Deeds, Pensions and Wills. This forum is not intended to replace DAVENPORT-L, merely supplement it. One of the advantages of this forum is that many people who do not subscribe to DAVENPORT-L can find it (the Davenport GenConnect Boards, not DAVENPORT-L) through one of the many available search engines, which is not true for the email messages we send each other, and they can be given instructions on how to subscribe to DAVENPORT-L by any of us who read their messages. Another thing, each of you can "subscribe" to each of the available "boards" and be notified, via email, whenever someone posts a message. This means that you don't have to "visit" the web page to find out if it contains any new messages. I think it's something that each of you ought to look into (the option is at the bottom of every page). The Davenport Query Board currently has 113 messages posted, many of which have never been posted on DAVENPORT-L. Check them out. You can find more information (and access the boards) at: http://users.intercomm.com/nvjack/davnport/genconnect.htm If you have questions you would like to ask me, please do.
