I have requested that the message board to be gatewayed to the mail list. What this means is when a message is posted on the message board (Ancestry.com board) that message will be sent to the mail list. The person who made the query to the message board is probably not a subscriber to the mail list , if you reply it will be to the message board link in the email. The reply will then be sent to the mail list from the message board. This only applies to the message board emails to the list. I do not know when it will start I would say sometime next 5 days. The mail list will work as always if you are a subscriber, you need to do nothing different than you have done in the past. I wanted you all to know what I had done. I hope this will just be another tool for your research and to help others when you can. If any questions do not email the MAIL LIST email me at [email protected] Any problems or suggestions please do so. Happy researching. Tim Casey Johnson Co IL Shelby Co IL Union Co IL
