Genealogy Chat

It's amazing how some people just won't try using search engines.
Even when told there are good results my FH group just ignore me!

I would have thought your enquirers would find searching in their own language a great help

Just tried Danish, French and Spanish ......and there appear to be a great deal if hits, although I cannot vouch for the quality,,,,

Suspect there are masses in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand .... some of which I am a member

Personally, I prefer a monitored and regulated sites, otherwise, there is always nastiness, as often witnessed here.

There are many but as I have only recently rejoined GR do not feel I should be giving out the names of their free competitors, most of which I am a member.

I have come across a few US ones in the past, but they were 'state specific' really, and some Irish ones, though they have been small and again county based.

I think if it's any country where the main language is not English you would have to be able to read and write fairly fluently to contribute, or indeed to google it lol ( thinking of a Polish one I came across once).

Why not set up your own NanaSue?

Yes you can google anything but doesn't account for expertise

Just thinking of the FREEBIES only and those known by members that may be useful.

Rootschat - complicated

You are joking it is far more structured than GR with all the different topics. And I personally find it very easy to navigate.

And it is FREE

And you can add pictures to your thread.

You surely don't expect info on here about competitors???????

Look for info yourself.............

Try Google - there are loads :-)

I think GR has the best chat - so easy to use.
There is Roots - http://www.rootschat.com/ - bit complicated until one gets used to it.

What I keep being asked is, are there any other Genealogy chat forums that are free and not particularly associated with any commercial company.

Particular interest would be any in countries outside the UK

:-D
