The
Genealogy Forum has come a long
way since the early days of AOL.
In those days there were about
3-4 of us running the forum and
it had a message board, file
library and a chat room. The
chat room was used once a month
on the first Sunday of the month.
It was 5 years before we found
out that you could only have 23
in the old style conference
rooms. I recently came across a
list of all the files in the file
library in 1989 and there were
only about 50 files there.
Today
we have the most successful set
of genealogy conference rooms
anywhere in cyberspace. With
over a 100 staff members, we
provide the best in monitored
chats every night of the week.
We offer a wide array of topics
which range from beginners to
many ethnic topics. We even have
our famous Treehouse that is
always an open
topic.
Our
most popular area is our message
boards and Surname sections where
people can leave information
about their ancestors or find
places to look for more
information. Our File Library
has thousands of helpful
genealogy files that includes one
of the largest collections of
free gedcom files found
anywhere.
This
is your genealogy forum so I
encourage you to become part of
it and jump in on the
fun.
