Subject: [BRADFORD-L] Genealogy chat rooms online!

Hi all. Some of you from AOL will already be aware of this, but for the rest
of you, the AOL genealogy chat rooms have moved online! You can access the
chat rooms at http://www.genealogyforum.org/chats.htm this page gives a
schedule for regularly scheduled talks by subject, (usually by states). I've
been using this for a few days now and it's great! (my screen name is
eabradfo) There are a few *bugs*, but realize this is a new chat room so be
patient. For those not aware of the changes going on AOL with the genealogy
forum right now, here is a brief rundown based on my understanding (this is not
any sort of official announcement or anything).

The genealogy forum, owned by George (don't know his surname) no longer exists
on AOL as it was. The message boards, etc. have or will be taken down and
there is only 1 chat room now, which you can only access through the
"Parenting" channel. Many genealogists are leaving AOL in droves b/c of these
changes (including me!). Now that there are chats online without going through
AOL, there is no need for me to stay there. I still have AIM (screen name
eabradfo) that people can contact me with, and of course this address will stay
the same, no change there. For those of you who have contacted me through AOL
in the past, please begin to use this address now for all email communication.


Check out the rooms and make some more connections.

Erin
