Hello All, Just a short note to let you know that the notice/messageboard for this site is now live. Entry via the messageboard box on http://www.wakefieldfhs.org.uk/morayweb/index.htm You have to register (free) but then you are able to add messages aswell as access messages posted by other researchers. I have taken the decision to have a 'registered' board as a few boards and guestbooks that I know of, including my own, have had material of a nature that is not acceptable. My local family history soc guest book had an entry that opened at the same time as the guestbook - caused a little bit of upset as members were asking their older and younger relatives to visit. I therefore, hope that you will understand why that decision was made. I also have greater access to delete messages and ban addressers and ISP's. The admin section also allows me to add message boards if anyone wishes the addition of surname, clan or county board or a board for any subject that may be of interest to others.

I would like to ask Carol what the difference is between posting to the list at MORAY-L@rootsweb.com and using a Message Board? Can you give an example when it would be wiser for us to use the latter?
