Is it my eyesight or do I just not ' see ' it. On each section of the Home page it appears to me to say Child Board. Please someone put me out of my misery - what does it say ?
I thought it might be an abbreviation but can't work that out either. Help.......... Huh Huh Huh

Emmeline,

I hadn't noticed that before -  maybe it's said that all along, but yes it does say child board. Don't quote me  Smiley but I think that it means that the main board for the county etc is the parent board and the boards within would be the child  Smiley
Someone is sure to put us right if I've got it wrong...which is probably  Smiley

No Elaine, you got it exactly right. They are CHILD boards, coming off the main county or PARENT boards.. Smiley

Hello Mitchell & BD - Thank you for that - what would I do without you !
I suppose it is quite appropriate to have Parent & Child on a Family History site but I would never have thought of it.
Thank you again...........
