You are more likely to receive a response if you post on the board that pertains to the info you are looking for. There is a board for most family names, states, counties, and topics. Also be specific in your titles,who, when, where. You will learn quickly. Make lots of postings on the boards, Do lots of looking at the info available on Ancestry. If you don't know how to do something or need advice, ASK!! on one of the boards. There are lots of people willing to help. Good luck in your search, Bill Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
