Don't forget that there is a Suite of Boards for the DURMAN surname on the GenConnect part of RootsWeb. They are another important tool for doing genealogy research. Mostly, these Boards are for posting queries (on the Query Board) that are of a long-time duration. The other Boards are all for posting more-or-less permanent data for others to read. Remember, the ONLY Board on which QUERIES may be posted is the Query Board. Post NO questions on the others. They are ONLY for posting data. (Please NOTE the "case" of these URL's. The case is important. CAPS and Non-CAPS must be exactly as given below.)
