Hi Everyone, What just came through to the list (the last two messages) were called "gatewayed" messages that originated on the Yelton Message Board. If you want to go to read ALL of the messages, go to: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.yelton If you just want to answer the message that was sent to the LIST, you use the URL that is in the message and it will take you to that particular message. Once there, you can reply to that message if you wish. The "Gateway" to the list can be turned off if you all don't want the messages from the message boards to get through to the lists. I am the administrator for both the List and the Board so let me know what you think. Eventually, there will be changes to what gets sent to the list. Hopefully, a "reply here" message will be added, for instance. I think the Boards are just another way for "cousins" to meet "cousins". If you all have any suggestions please don't hesitate to let me know, I'll be glad to pass them on to RootsWeb/Ancestry. They recently merged their message boards and still have a way to go for them to be user friendly. Hope you all had a great Summer and are looking forward to Fall, Iris
