You are more than welcome to join us tonight for Open Genealogy chat to check out our chat room and see how it works. But be sure to come back tomorrow night at 9:30 to speak with UncleFred and ask any questions you might have. You can join us at: http://prosserhome.homestead.com (I get a piece of bubble gum for everyone that comes through my portal) :) then just type chat in the About.com box once there be sure to choose Chat Room 1. For those of you that can't attend but might have some questions, send them to me and I will make sure they are asked and answered. Also, with your first visit to our chat you will need to download a java program in order to see our client. It takes about 20 seconds to download it and then you are done. No need to do anything else. Once you get to the sign on screen you will see the word "Guest" in the nick portion. Change that to whatever nick you would like. I encourage you to visit the chat room tonight to see how it works so that you will be comfortable tomorrow if you chose to join us. Then I will have a transcript up of the entire chat so that you won't miss a thing. Hope to see you all there! Rikki Only a genealogist regards a step BACKWARD as PROGRESS!
