June, you are quite right but I'm not sure that everybody understands what should go on each of the THREE boards. My understanding is 1. The TIPS BOARD is for questions/answers/suggestions about sources, techniques, etc and problems about systems rather than people. 2. The RECORDS OFFICE board is for members offereing or seeking lookups and searches. Sometimes the answers may actually provide a few tips - but that is a bonus. What is not clear is the use of the TRYING TO FIND board. It obviously should be used to find living people, but a lot of the requests seem to be for information - that should really be on the RECORDS OFFICE board. The notes on the page for this board do not make that clear. The great advantage of this board is that it is easily found when searching by surname. However, if people just want information, it is even more wasteful than requests put on both the other boards, because you can not see if anybody has responded, and if so, what they found. Not sure how this should be resolved - perhaps the top of the page needs a rewording. Personally, I find some of those requests more challenging, but it would help if they were on the RECORDS OFFICE BOARD. So how do we get this sorted out? Any suggestions? Jim |

June, could you clarify by putting 'request' before threads. Sometimes people legitimately put information threads on all board but I don't think you mean those do you? Ann Glos |

Plus you will have to check 2 threads instead of one, which is timewasting for the poster and confusing. I think both boards get seen by everyone, so don't worry that your request will be missed. nell |
