FFHS-NEWS The FFHS Website Forum

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

We have set up an information system, called a Forum, on the website.

 

The forum does not replace the news list, nor the website itself.  It is a
method of allowing exchange of information.  It is open to all.

 

It will be 'moderated' but not censored.  

 

I suggest you initially look at it without logging in.  You will be able to
access all the areas you can see.  The only thing you cannot do is reply to
any postings - ie it is basically a read-only forum.

 

It becomes a two-way forum when you register.  To make your own postings to
the forum you will need to register a username and password - you will also
be asked for an email address.  Once you have registered you will be able to
modify your personal profile by clicking the Profile tab on the main menu,
near the top of the page.  You will also see that there is a Help tab which
contains some basic help information - I suggest you have a look at this.

 

There are sections where you can post your research enquiries so that other
users can see them and hopefully help you.  FFHS itself will not reply to
these but the facility does allow you to put out a plea for help.  In a
similar vein there is a section called Exchange & Mart.  Please read the
section on this board about its use!!! 

 

Unless you allow your email address to be seen by others it will be hidden
from everyone except the Forum Administrator.  

 

If you want to send someone a personal reply to a posting you can send them
a Personal Message via the Forum.  You do not need to know their email
address and indeed if they reply via the Personal Message system you will
not know it.  Any new Personal Messages will be notified to you at the email
address you have given and be available via the menu at the top.

 

The forum is at:
