    1. [KYJESSAM] New message board system
    2. Jim Houpe
    3. I don't know how many of you know it but sometime ago Ancestry.com bought out rootsweb. Rootsweb supplies webspace for alot of the state and county websites they also house the kyjessam mail list along with the genconnect message boards. As you know we had several message boards Queries,bible records,bios,deeds,pensions,obits,and wills. The genconnect boards basically does not exist now they have been replaced by ancestry. The boards have been merged into one board. I was taking care of all the boards excepts the obits which Sheila Ramos was taking care of. When the merged the boards the person that was taking care of thr queries board appointed administrator which fell to me. I had to create an account to access these boards I do not knoe if you will have to create an account with ancestry in order to view and post to the new message alot of people on the state and national mailing list are very unhappy with what has happened the fear is that the researchers will become unhappy and frustrated with this new system. I hpe you do not have any problems with the new message system just thought you should know I have not made the changes on the website yet click on the queries graphic it will either take you to the message board or to a page to register for an account. Thanks, Jim
