The message board for this county is set up so that any messages posted will be forwarded to this list. You will know that it is a message board posting because it will start with this line: "This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list." Later in the message it will give you a URL for seeing the original post and where you can post a reply. Posting a reply to the list will not benefit the original author of the message board post as chances are, they may not subscribed to this list. Also by posting your response to the message board, a copy of your answer will be sent to the list (so you don't have to do it yourself). The message boards are designed to work in conjunction with this mailing list and with the MOGenWeb site for this county. I am the admin for all of these functions so that they will work smoothly together to benefit the researchers of this county. My goal is to assist researchers in this county by making their "online" research as easy as possible. If you have any questions, please contact me privately at shirleyscott@juno.com . Since I am the CC/Admin for Maries Co MOGenWeb, Pulaski Co MOGenWeb and Ripley Co MOGenWeb, please put which county you are referring to so that I can give you a specific answer (with URLs if necessary). Thank you.
