they really SCREWED it. Combined boards into ONE "Query" board - AND - requires Ancestry.com' USER ID and PASSWORD just to POST a query or bio or anything. send your objections to Jake Gehring at jgehring@ancestry-inc.com I am now seeing other messages from other CCs who are OUTRAGED over the screwed/mucked combined board message system and declared that they are DEEP-SIXing any connection to this screwed/mucked system effectively immediately. I sent a message to Jake expressing my outrage that I had been refused several times MY Ancestry.com USER ID and PASSWORD. I haven't seen my Aldrich family boards yet. If they are combined, GOOD BYE. I already saw one of my county boards - Baker County, OR - all boards had been combined. I am NOT happy. What ever happened to integrity of separate and orderly boards??? It was best system I have ever seen in use UNTIL the idiots that be chose to COMBINE all applicable boards into one "QUERY" board, killing the goose that laid the golden egg. W.

Ok, David, I just sent the following to Jake Gehring at jgehring@ancestry-inc.com: ====================== Very bad idea you guys came up with and extremely RUDE. You have really shot yourselves in the foot this time. Why can't you people understand that "volunteers" are just that . . . "volunteers". I have spent countless hours and a great deal of money on purchasing books, etc. to help me with submitting bios, deeds, probate records, etc., etc., to the "boards" I was administering. Now, just because I took care of all of these boards all this time, but DID NOT have the query board . . . I get left with nothing. This is true for two county sets of boards I was taking care of . . . forget it, someone else can provide the information from now on. I feel quite sure I can find a better way to spend my spare time "volunteering" for something worthwhile . . . that might just be appreciated.

Website: Hatcher Families Resource Center http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher List Admin: Hatcher email list Researching: Cook, Hall, Hatcher, Kuhns, Miller, Shepherd, Timberman The Hatcher Records & Documentation CD is now available!! FOR MORE INFO: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hatchlib.htm We need to have a specific person to send our complaints to. I doubt Jake is that person. I doubt he designed the system. I was appalled to find that all 7 GC boards had been combined with queries. I had no idea that this new msg board was also going to dump wills, deeds, etc into "queries." When I saw my board, my first thought was "How in the HELL will anyone using this system know how to search for these very valuable records and documents?" This system looks to be a major disaster! And I want to know how I can find all my non-query entries so that I can pull them off to a more organized system - even if it's on my own website. Not a happy camper! Nel
None of my boards are available at all. Have the URLs been changed? Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: "W.
