This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nk.2ADI/402.1 Message Board Post: I read with interest your post regarding Harriet Ellen Stiles in the Mills County tribune. It appears to be be linked to Eugene Stiles. I would be interested to know more if you have any more information available. Thank you Pat Stiles

Maybe I'm dense, but the new message boards are very confusing. Would someone please tell me how to find the board for the surname McCord, in Mills County, Iowa. If you do I promise to write down the instructions for future use. In my opinion, the old way was sooooo much easier and faster-- the new boards are no fun!!!!

Hi Juanita, Although, as you, I am still confused in many ways about the new Message Boards, the more I use them the better it gets. There are a few things that are an improvement but mostly I would rather have the old GenConnect system but it isn't going to return so we might as well do our best to understand the new way. I will start from the beginning and see if I can help. As a user you can start out with this URL http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=main&r=rw If you want to go to Mills County you would click on U.S.States Next click on Iowa Next click on Counties Next click on Mills Next type in McCord in the search and be sure to click on Mills County Board It comes up with 9 mentions of postings on the Mills site that contain the name McCord. They are all but one posted by Tim McCord. Of course if you know how to copy and paste a 2 line URL you can go directly to Mills County by clicking on http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.iowa.counties.mills That bypasses all the other URLs I would suggest once you find Mills County you bookmark it, or put it in your favorites so you don't have to go through this process again. If there are other problems please contact me again. -- Cay Merryman http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamills/ Juanita Jamison wrote: > > Maybe I'm dense, but the new message boards are very confusing.
