Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.jefferson/12452.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: RootsWeb Message Boards Help: "The gateway was designed to integrate a message board with the mailing list for the same subject (surname, locality, etc.). Many mailing list administrators **opt** to have a mailing list receive "gatewayed" messages--messages which are originally posted on a corresponding message board. When the list and board administrators agree to use the gateway all messages posted to the corresponding board are instantly copied in full to the allied list."
