Message Board on Roots Web (Ancestry.com) Mississippi - African American for years has been receiving posts about forming a Chapter in MS. So far, it has not happened. There is a great deal of interest. And, although I live in Mass. would help to get it started. Can you please forward me information on founding a Chapter that I can post to the Message Board. There is much interest. Hazel Stamps Boston Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
