I used to spend ages either posting or checking various message boards. I've just realised that since using Rootschat I hardly bother now. There's no need. What non-Roots message boards (if any) do you use?

Ozlady,

I agree - what others do you need?  I'm registered on Lost Cousins, but not a peep to date.  Not terribly impressed.  Have thought about Genes Reunited, but having read of all the issues that people have had with them, I haven't bothered to date!

I did every message board known to genealogy  :o

I now feel that if someone wants to find me then they will, it's not hard.

I got so fed up of trawling through dozens of messages that didn't have any interest to me.  I have now 'un-subscribed' but now and again I browse through the archived messages to pick up anything relevant.

I used to check message boards on several other well known site, but don't bother anymore.  I'd much rather use Rootschat!!!

I agree with Marie...........I haven't had one match since adding all my ancestors from the 1881.  I don't bother to check very often.

Rootschat is enough for me..... :)

I check Rootsweb now and again but I mainly use Rootschat.  Folks are incredibly keen and helpful here.

Rootschatters are the best!
