There are two ways: (1) an incredibly long URL (don't know what they were thinking when they did this) http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw& p=localities.northam.usa.states.southcarolina.counties.greenwood There are no spaces in the above URL; but as you can see, there is no way to get it all on one line. (2) the long way to do it but perhaps a bit easier: go to www.rootsweb.com Scroll down the page about half way. On the left will be a heading called Message boards, click on localities. Then as the various screens come up, you click on North America, United States, South Carolina, Greenwood I'm sure you get the idea. At present you do not have to log in to read the messages. They may be requiring logging in now to post a message; it has been under discussion. If you want more information about this, please e-mail me privately and I will try to answer your questions. P. S. If you are familiar with Rootsweb and Ancestry, then you know that they have merged and the message boards can be accessed from either site. I happen to think that Rootsweb is a little easier to negotiate.
