Hi, The address is: http://genforum.genealogy.com/ It is a free site. You can post questions on the forums for different surnames or places. Just below the word Genealogy.com is a link that says Chat. Just click on that and choose a user name and password. If you are running a PC, download Ichat as the chat client. I chat is a very small program that gives you all the bells and whistles for chat. If your computer will not let you download Ichat, then, when you log into room, choose either Java Lite or HTML as the chat client from the drop-down box. You must have Java installed on your computer to use Java Lite. Ichat is the default and works the best. You may get a little dropdown box just below your toolbar to activate Active X. That only happens the first time you log in. Be sure to click on that little dropdown box. It's usually Yellow in color. You won't get that if you are not running Vista. :-) It may sound confusing until you see the actual log in page and read the instructions. It is a lot of fun and we have some great people who are always willing to help.

Some very helpful people on that site and one of our chatters has his own "public" library that he started several years ago. He bought an old school building and he started a library that anyone can visit. He buys books from all over the country so he is pretty well covered and he has so much info at his fingertips. We have people from all over the country plus England and Australia.
