Hi Listers, If you have posted anything to a Rootsweb Message Board, in the hopes of making contact with someone with your email address in the last few years, it will not work now. When Ancestry.com revamped the Rootsweb Message boards a couple of months ago a default was added. The default now states one must join ancestry.com to access email contacts on the message boards. So, Your email addresses are no longer on your queries. You can add your email addresses back to your post by following the Ancestry Help Desk guideline I have posted below. I hope this works for you. If I post a query on Rootsweb, I hate to think someone has to join Ancestry.com to get my email addy, so they can respond.

Login and change that. Login to www.ancestry.com and click on My Ancestry. On the right, click on My site preferences, and check to display your email address. Your My Account login here will work there. HelpDesk _______________________________________________ ________________________________________________
