There are so many people online who are looking for help seeking information on their family lines. This is a great way to actually chat with some live people who share the same hobby. Many who chat in the room are very helpful and have access to many resources. Other's give great suggestions on where and how to obtain your information. This can be an great learning experience for many people who are just beginning to research their ancestry. I would like to invite anyone who might be interested in trying out the chat room. You must register a user name and a password to join in the chats. Many ask why one should have to register. We do this because to make sure you have your own unique chatter ID. This also helps keep out porn bots or spammers out of the chat room. We do not need these kind of interuptions. We would like to keepyour experience enjoyable. To join the chats, just go to the URL below and register. Once you are on the login screen box..click on the register button...it will take you to the next page so you can register. Once you have finished filling out the form with your information, click on the blue box that says register your account. Then shortly you will get a confirmation email that your account has been accepted. I hope your chat experience will be helpful and enjoyable. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~genealogylookup/chatroom.html We do have volunteer chat HOSTS that do come and maintain the room to make sure things go smoothly or help you get use to the chat room features. Some do hold scheduled genealogy chats on certain types of topics. If anyone is interested in holding a scheduled chat on a certain genealogy topic.
