Hi Carol The second posting went through but *to the list* The original offer was *on the board* There are no replies on the board as yet so it looks like you have only posted to the list, if the Board poster making the offer is not a list member (most are not) they will not see your request Where you see a *gatewayed* post you need to click the blue link in the original post and reply to the board , it will in turn be gatewayed back to the list I have taken the liberty of copying your post to the board Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Thank you, Nivard, > > A second posting went through, so I hope that the list received the > message.

Thank you again, Nivard, for your information and for posting my message to the board. I hope to hear something, but if I don't, I'll at least know that someone was kind enough to offer this help. I am a woman of some years, born well before the technological revolution, and I don't understand the workings of many of these websites.

Not a problem Carol I hope you are in luck with your request Now we all learned about the lists and boards at some time or other so don't worry in the slightest if you haven't come across this before Rootsweb do Lists and Boards , often for similar places / names etc but they work in different ways Essentially a Board (as its name implies) you go to and place a message on it and hope others see it when they go there too, they then respond to the board for you to check on (and so on) Lists are more like a magazine to which you take a subscription, each time a new post is made you will get a copy of that post Some Boards are Gatewayed to a List that covers the same location / name or whatever , its a means to get the Board posters questions seen by people with similar interests but may not use the Boards (which obviously works as you can see :-) Board posters will not see list posts so the list subscriber has to go to the board to reply, as we have discussed earlier I hope that makes sense :-) As I said, don't worry about asking a question, you may be surprised how many are out there just wishing someone would ask the question so they can learn too Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Thank you again, Nivard, for your information and for posting my message > to the > board.
